The following resolutions were passed at a meeting of the Fraternal Lodge, Barnstable, Mass.-

Whereas, by a dispensation of the Great Grand Master of the Universe, our Br. Ira Baxter has been raised from this to the Celestial Lodge above, therefore

  • Resolved, That as Masons, we submit to this decree of our Great Grand Master, with the fond hope that we shall meet at last in the Great Grad Lodge, where parting shall be known no more.
  • Resolved, That we will endeavor to imitate and practice the virtues of our deceased Brother, and to live as he lived - in peace with all men.
  • Resolved, That as a testimony of our respect for our deceased Brother, we will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
