Resolutions of Respect
Whereas, It has pleased God,
the Master of Life, and death,
to call into his eternal rest our
beloved Brother Council Mem
ber, Harry Lee Mechem.
Be It Resolved, That we, the
members of North Wilkesboro
Council No. 51, Jr. O. U. A. M?
record this memorial in acknowl
edgment of our grief and pro
found sorrow.
The "old guard" Is gone?on
a Journey that knows no return.
His presence was always felt,
standing firmly for all that was
loyal and right. No praise of him
can be extolled too highly; it is
difficult for his friends to find
words of sufficient appreciation
and love for his memory.
We mourn. his departure, but
know that we and the world are
better because he lived.
His loss will be sincerely felt,
especially by those rich in his
love, loyalty and regard. And
when his time came to go, "Like
one who wraps the drapery of
his couch about him and lit"
down to pleasant dreams," h
passed away into eternity, and
we are sure, with that rare satis
faction of having lived a life of
worth-while and valuable assist
ance to his fellow man.
We condole with the sorrowing
family and extend to them our
Bincerest sympathy in the hope
that our Lord will extend to them
the consolation of His Divine
Peace.
Be It Resolved, That this reso
lution be extended on the me
morial records of our Council and
copies transmitted to the bereav
ed family and to the newspapers.
Respectfully submitted,
C. B. ELLER,
C. A. CANTER.
J. B. WILLIAMS,
Committee.
