He was ever charitable, kind and lived in hope of dying in peace with his God, which was fully demonstrated. Protected and administered to by his family and friends, which is the corner-stone of our beloved order – charity, hope and protection. Resolved, that our most grateful and sincere thanks be extended to all participants at the funeral rites and services.

Yet again we hope to meet thee, when the day of life is fled, then in heaven with joy to greet thee, where no farewell tear is shed. Resolved: that a copy of these resolutions be spread on the minutes; also copies sent to the bereaved family; also a copy to be sent to the Indiana AOUW Recorder and published in all our county and city papers. Respectfully submitted in charity, hope and protection. David C. Hughes; David E. Badger; Robt. L. Higert, Committee
