Resolutions
of Respect.
Whereas;
That the great author of our being has, in his infinite wisdom and tender
mercy, seen fit to call to her reward after a brief illness and suffering of
typhoid fever, little "Clara", age 14 years, second eldest daughter
of Bro. John Thompson, therefore be it, resolved, that we the members of
Gasconade lodge No. 439 of the Independent Order Odd Fellows in regular session
assembled, do hereby extend to the father and three remaining children, our
deep regret and profound sympathy in this another great trial of sad bereavement,
following so closely the inevitable taking away of the dearly beloved wife and
mother. Be it further resolved, that a transcript of these resolutions be
offered for publication in the county papers and that a copy of the same be
made part of the records of our lodge. Also that a copy of the original draft
be placed in the possession of the grief stricken family.
"Since
thy tender spirit has fled, to realms beyond the azure dome,
Then
God's bright angels have said, welcome! to Heaven's home, sweet home."
