IN MEMORIUM---At regular meeting of Fellowship Lodge, No. 89, A.F. and A.M., Sept. 7th, 1786, the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God, the Supreme Rule of the Universe, to call from amongst us our worthy brother, Levi A. STILLEY, to refreshment and rest in the bright lodge above, to that house not made with hands eternal in the heavens. Death is, under all circumstances, and unwelcome visitor; and in cases where he casts his dark shadow upon his victim in the bloom and vigor of manhood, surrounded by dear friends, his advent is marked not only by grief and heart rending anguish, but by a dark and unfathomable void-a feeling of despair that makes the boldest shrink involuntarily from the realties which make up even the ordinary vicissitudes of life. Alas! Life is but a dream; the quickening of a germ; the bloom of a flower, and thus comes the cold frosts of death, and all, all is over. Resolved, That in the death of Bro STILLEY, our lodge has lost an active, useful and benevolent member, his family a kind husband and indulgent father, and society a good man. Resolved, That we tender to the surviving relatives of our deceased brother our sincere condolence, in this their sad trial and bereavement, and invoke for them the care of our Father in Heaven, who is the protector of the fatherless and widows, who will never forsake those who believe in him. Resolved, That the brethren wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days, and the lodge jewels be draped for the same length of time, and that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of the Lodge, a copy transmitted to the family of the deceased, and that the Marion Monitor and Egyptian Press be requested to publish the same. A.B. SCURLOCK, L.A. GODDARD } Com.
