Resolutions of Sympathy.
Whereas, in his infinite wisdom it has pleased the Supreme Chancellor of
the Universe to remove from our midst our late brother, James E. Keeling and
Whereas, the relations long held by our deceased brother with the
members of this lodge render it proper that we should place on record our
appreciation of his work as a knight and his merit as a man, therefore be it
Resolved, That while we bow humbly to the will of Providence, we
none the less mourn for our brother who has been called from labor to rest.
Resolved, That in his death Greenwood lodge No. 238 K. of P. has
lost a member who was a man among men; who was worthy of every confidence;
who love the principles of Latiamism; who practiced its teachings in giving
succor to the needy and distressed of the fraternity; one whose life was an
example of Pythian Friendship, Charity and Benevolence; whose virtues
endeared him not only to the brethren of the order, but to all who knew him.
Resolved, That the sympathy of the Lodge be extended to his
sorrowing parents, brothers and sister in this their sad bereavement, and
that we can but express the hope that some time their family will be united
where parting will be unknown, and where sorrow never comes to sadden the
heart.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the
record of this lodge; a copy be given to the family, and copy be furnished
for publication.
