Greencastle Relief Corps No 23 present the following resolutions on the death of our beloved sisters, Mrs. Foxworthy’s husband: Whereas it has pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from our midst by death the loving companion of our dear sister, we as citizens have lost a beloved and faithful friend and his wife a kind and affectionate husband. Further be it resolved that while we bow in submission to our Master’s will who doeth all things well, we say to our loving sister he is gone but not forgotten. Grieve not! O loving ones bereaved For Him who leaves you thus, But draw aside the vail that bides The better land from us. And see! The bark has touched the shore, And mid the waiting throng, Friends and relatives welcome him, Whom they have looked for long. Then drop the curtain tenderly, Shut out the sight of bliss Oh! Nevermore we’ll wish him back To such a world as this. But when the boatman comes for us, When all our strife is o’er, We’ll float adown the stream and join The ones who’ve gone before.
Resolved that a copy of these be sent to the family and also spread upon the minutes. Committee: Martha Little, Ray Nathers, Louis M. Jacobs, Chairman
