from us our friend and brother,
Captain Edward Southerland, a
member of this Lodge, who died the
30th of September 1965.
Therefore, Be it Resolved that in
the untimely death of our brother,
we recognize the Power of Him, in
whose hands alone are the issues of
life and death. And while we bow
with humble submission to His
decree, we shall ever cherish in our
hearts those sentiments of esteem
and friendship with which the life
and character of our deceased
brother have impressed us.
Resolved Th.it in his premature
death, our fraternity has been bereft
of a truly devoted member, and our
country, in defense of which, he has
so often, and so bravely periled his
life, as one of its truest soldiers, has
lost a citizen, whose career of
usefulness had comparatively just
begun, and whose prospects for long
and happy life were so flattering.
Resolved that we tender our
warmest sympathies to the relations
and friends of our deceased brother,
and that we wear the usual badge of
mourning in respect to his memory."
