MEMORIALS
ELIJAH THOMAS 1802-1850
- MM 1827, Evening Star
From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. X, No. 3, January 1851, Page 95:
Died at his residence in South Lee. Mass., Dec. 10, 1850, Mr. Elijah Thomas, aged 48 vears. Brolher Thomas was made a Mason in the year 1827, and during the antimasonic excitement that immediately followed that period, he remained a steadfast, consistent and faithful supporter of the principles of the Fraternity. of which he had become a member. And whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to take from amongst us our Brolher Elijah Thomas, long known and highly esteemed. not only as a high minded. virtuous and useful citizen, but as almost worthy Brother. whose cardinal principles. not only in profession but in practice, were friendship. morality and Brotherly love. - As a Mason, he was a strict adherent lo the true principles of our Order, holding fast to Brotherly love, relief and truth. Therefore,
- Resolved, That in the death of Brother Thomas the Masonic Fraternity have been deprived of a bright example in Masonry, and a just and upright Brother.
- Resolved, That Evening Star Lodge, of which he died a member, and the Fraternity at large, have sustained in his death an irreparable loss.
- Resolved, That we tender our heartfelt sympathies to the widow, children and family relatives of our deceased worthy Broiher, in the loss of a kind husband, an indulgent father and faithful friend,-one who has endeared liimself to all by his kindness. benevolence and christian courtesy.
- Resolved, That the furniture and jewels of this Lodge be clothed in mourning for the usual space.
- Resolved, That the Secretary be and hereby is authorized, to transmit a copy of the foregoing resolutions to lhe widow and family of our deceased Brother, and a copy of the same to the Freemasons' Magazine, for publication.
By order of the Master and Brethren, Caleb Belder, Secretary.
