TERM
MEMORIAL
September 14, 1864 (VI-528). Memorial
It having pleased the All wise Ruler of the Universe, to remove from the labors of earth, our late R. W. Bro. Edw. A. Raymond.
Resolved. That this G. Lodge has heard with profound sorrow, the announcement of the sudden death of the R. W. Bro. E. A. Raymond, who for many years has been a permanent member of this body—and who for the Constitutional term of three successive years, presided over its deliberations, as its M. W. G. Master.
Resolved. That in the faithful discharge of his duties as Senior G. Warden, and as G. Master for nearly a quarter of a century, as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Masonic Temple—he has richly earned a title to the grateful remembrance of his Brethren.
Resolved. That his unfaltering fidelity during his long Masonic life of almost half a century, to the cause of Freemasonry and his manly defence of its principles during the dark days of Anti-Masonic persecution, will enshrine his name among the Loyal and the true, when the Craft in coming generations, will ever delight to honor.
Resolved. That we deeply sympathize with the afflicted family of our lamented Brother, and while with them, we bow submissively to the Divine decree, which has bereaved them and us, we receive the admonition, with the hope of that blessed ressurrection, when the Mortal shall put on immortality.
Resolved. That a copy of these Resolutions, be transcribed by the Secretary and forwarded to the family of our late Brother.
