RESOLUTION OF RESPECT
D. G. WAGONER
Whereas, God in his infinite wis
dom has seen fit to take from our
midst Bro. D. G. Wagoner, be it
resolved by Jonesville Lodge No.
227 A. F. & A. M. as follows:
We note with genuine sorrow
that this friend and brother has
gone to his Eternal home.
He loved his home lodge and
County and was always ready to
give liberally of his time and
means to promote their welfare.
He was a business man of whom
, we are justly proud and a counse
lor of rare ability.
His integrity could be ques
tioned, he was faithful to every
trust.
His heart was full of human
kindness, it was a real pleasure
to him to help the needy and to
. relieve distress.
His life was that of a Christian
gentleman and he has left us an
example worthy of our emulation.
He was loyal to the great Mast
er, loved Him, served Him, and
trusted in Him.
We extend to his family our
sincere sympathy and commend
them to the loving care of the
Heavenly Father.
Further resolved that a page of
our minhtes be devoted to his
memory. God give us more men
like him.
That a copy be furnished his
family and published in the Yad
kin Ripple, Elkin Tribune and
Winston-Salem Journal.
Respectfully submitted.
