At a regular
meeting of Leaksville Lodge of Masons, No. 136, the
following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS,
We have learned with the deepest regret of the death of our brother, Capt.
Chalmers Glenn, who fell in the defence [sic] of the
country, at the battle of Boonsborough, after having
been engaged in that terrible battle during the whole of the day, on the 14th
September,
Resolved, That it is with feelings of
the deepest regret we have received the painful intelligence of the death of
our brother; but while we deplore his loss, we humbly submit to the will of him
who ruleth all things.
Resolved, That we sympathize most deeply
with the family of the deceased and would gladly offer them all the consolation
that human sympathy can afford, were it of any avail, in their severe loss.
Resolved, That the members of this
Lodge, wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
entered on the records of the Lodge, and a copy of the same be sent to the
family of the deceased, and also to the Patriot and Standard for publication.
