HALL IRoNToN CHAPTER o. E. S.,
October "a, 1921.
To the Worthy Matron, Sisters and
Brothers of Ironton Chapter No. 349:
Again our circle has been broken.
On the evening OF September twenty
sixth, 1921, while Jul Chapter was in
session, the gavel sounded which
non disobey; and the Angel that we
call Death escorted to the Grand East
of His Eternal Chapter our dearly be-
loved first Worthy Patron, Brother
William R. Edgar.
1t is hard to believe that he who SO
long has been a tower of strength, 80
active and so faithful in the affairs of
our order and all that pertains to
Freemasonery, has been taken from
us. His death was sndden and came
as a shock to the whole community.
Because of his activity as the Or
ganizer, first Worthy Patron, and
great zeal for the welfare of our
Chapter and Freemasoneryin general,
he will long be mourned by US all.
Brother Edgar's leadership and ex-
ample was an inspiration to every
member of u Chapter, and he oc-
cupied a prominent rank in our midst
for many years, maintaining under
all circumstances the highest ideal
ism of our beautiful order.
Therefore, Resolved, That in his
death we have sustained the loss of a
friend and brother whose fellowship
it was an honor and a pleasure to en-
joy; that we bear willing. testimony
of his high ideals and unquestioneo
probity and useful life; that we offer
to his bereaved family and mourning
friends over whom sorrow has hung
her sable mantle, u heartfelt con-
dolence, and pray that Infinite Good
ness may bring speedy relief to theil
burdened hearts.
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the records
of this chapter, a copy presented to
the family of our deceased brother,
and a copy furnished the local news
paper for publication.
