In Memoriam,
To the N. G., V.G., officers and meni.
bers of Oustomah; Lodge, No, 16; 1.0. 0. F.
Your.committee appointed'to draft resolu.
tions relative to the death of Bro. R.G.
Greenman, submit the following :
As the angel of death. has summoned
our respected brother Greenman—a summons terrible in its snddenneks—from this,
to we trust a better world, we are reminded that death is. always near; and comes
not only ‘to*the weak and decriped,’ for
buoyant youth: and vigorous manhood are
equally pregnable to his: darts; wherever
he levels his bow the victim falls, and we
feel it a duty to place upon rd our appreciation ef the many virtdes of our deceased brother. v
We feel that the Lodge has sustained a
loss not soon to be .repaired; he was one
of its best and most’ beloved members,
generous, just and in all respects a
true Odd Fellow—those who. knew him
best loved him most. While a void is left
in our ranks, and a kind heart has ceased
to beat, and w¢ deeply regret his untimely
death, we até not.as those who mourn
without hope, we bow with meek submis.
sion to the fiat of Him whose ways are inscrutable and past finding out, and say,
“Thy will 0! God be done,
