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."

Resolutions offered by,
