Resolutions of Respect

Life is real, life is earnest,
And the grave is not its goal,
Dust thou art, to dust returnest
Was not spoken of the soul.
Once more the dark gloomy
shadows of death have been
thrown over and around the
home of a brother Odd Fellow
where the angel of death called
from among the living. Onnie,
son of brother j. w. and sister
Lizzie Schoolcraft.
Onnie Schoolcraft was born
June ID, 1901, and died Sept. a,
1919, aged Is years, 2 months,
and 10 days. Onnie was a bright,
amiable, and energetic boy, and
loved by all who knew him. He
met his untimely dea tn in fac
tory at Akron, Ohio, where he
was burned on Sept. 2, 1919,
dying two days later.
Whereas this bitter cup of
providence is for the benefit of
US by teaching us that we too
shall crumble to dust, and
Whereas we bow our heads in
humble submission to the divine
will of our Heavenly Father,
therefore, be it
Resolved that the brothers of
this Lodge extend to their be-
loved brother and family their
heartfelt sympathy and sincere
coincidence in this the sad hour
of their bereavement, and be it

The farm is a one hundred and ninety
acre tract of good ground, and it is
believed that Mr.. Raycraft, who has

successful farmers, will meet with a
good success there, as he has in for

Mr.. Raycraft moved to Alma from
his farm just a few years ago, and
has since then made this city his

of the highest type and has gained
wide circle of friends, who regret
exceedingly to see him leave this city.
