WHEREAS, It has
pleased Almighty God, in His all wise Providence, to remove from time to
eternity, our late brother, Wesley W. Underwood, who was a soldier in the
Confederate Army, and received a wound in the Sharpsburg Battle which caused
his death, and thus cut off in the prime of life, one who with us enjoyed the
confidence and esteem of us all. Therefore:
Resolved,
That while we bow in humble submission to the will of Him who hath the power to
give and to take away, we cannot but lament our sad bereavement.
Resolved,
That we offer our warmest sympathy to the family and friends of the deceased,
and while they have lost a kind husband and neighbor, we too have lost a worthy
and faithful brother, and will freely mingle our tears with theirs, on a common
altar of grief, we would point them to that eternal source which alone is the
giver of all good gifts and graces.
Resolved,
That we wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
Resolved,
That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the companion of the deceased, and
also to the Greensboro Patriot with a request for publication.
BY ORDER OF THE
Lodge,
