I Chester w. Clark, Mrs. Eliza NJ
Page and Miss Mabelle King were
appointed a committee to draft res
olutions. Resolutions were as fol-
tIows:
Since the last assemblage of our
: association, the following named per-
sons. intimately connected with Us
by membership or the ties of kindred
have been called to the final reward
of their life work: Caleb A. Clark
John E. Lawrence, Mrs. Ida w. Wood
ward, Mrs. Sarah L. Seayer, Rev
Ora Samuel Gray, Fred A: Leavitt-
In the shadow of this bereavement
we inscribe this sentiment on our
records:
/ One of those lives had extended far
beyond the age of four score and ten
The others seemed to have been
prematurelv taken. But whether
longer or shorter, if the divine pur-
pose was accomplished, their lives
were rounded and complete.
We, who remain, are made better
and are strengthened in every worthy
act by their examples and the MEM
ory of their Christian characters
