To the officers and brothers of Percha

We, the undersigned, your committee
appointed to draft resolutions upon the
death OF E. @. Salen, respectfully sub.
NIT the following resolutions and ask
that the same be adopted, spread upon
the minutes of the Lodge and that a
copy be sent to the family of our deceas-
ed brother:
Whereas it has pleased our Almighty
Father to remove from among us our
dearly beloved brother, G. @. Salen, now
therefore belt
Resolved, that the officers and mem
ber of Percha Lodge No. do hereby
record the great sorrow which has be-
fallen their lodge in the death Of their
beloved brother G. @. salen, who de-
parted this life on the tenth day Of Jan
uary, 1917. Our deceased brother was
for many years one Of the leading mem
bers of this lodge. He joined this lodge
on the 18th day of July, 1895 having
therefore been active in the T o. O. F,
at his former residence. During the
time OF his membership he filed all the
important chairs and offices of the lodge.
He was especially active in the dissemi~
nation of the knowledge of the ritual
and the cere monials Of our order and
did much to raise the standard of the
lodges ceremonial observanees. Out
side the lodgeroom he was always faith
ful to the teachings of our Order, and
thus was an example for good TO all
brethren OF this lodge Born in Swe-
den a little over II years ago. He was
colled off all too soon and the lodge will
sorely miss his stimulating enthusiasm
and wise counsel.
Be it further resolved that these reso-
lutions be spread on the minutes OF the
lodge and that copy of the same be
sent to the family of the deceased bro
ther,
