Mizpah Rebekah Lodge of Winterport has
adopted the following resolutions Of respect:
1t is with the fraternal order as it is with all
things instituted by the hand of man or the
hand of the Infinite, that there are periods
when clouds will gather and shut out the
beauty of a perfect horizon.
Thus it was with Mizpah Rebekah Lodge.
when our beloved brother, Amos F. Carleton,
was taken from its ranks. He was a member
held in high esteem, not only because he had
great interest for the order, and because he
was hailed with respect by those with whom
brothers and sisters of the order who knew
him SO we'll, realize that he was worthy OF all
the respect that was shown him and all the
honors that were bestowed upon him from
time to time by his fellow citizens; and also
worthy of any tribute we could pay to his
memory.
Let US here resolve that we extend our deep
sympathy to his wife and family in their great
sorrow.
That our charter be draped in mourning for
a period of thirty days, and that copy of
these resolutions be placed upon our records,
and copies sent to The Republican Journal,
Belfast. and to the Winterport Advertiser for
