ROBERT LASH

From Proceedings, Page VI-467, 1863:

"The Com. appointed by the M. W. Grand Master to prepare and present to the G. Lodge resolves for their adoption upon the decease of R. W. Robt. Lash, a permanent member of the G. Lodge, submit the following.

"Whereas, the G. Lodge of Massachusetts have learned with deep sensibility of the death of their beloved and venerable brother Robert Lash, who for more than half a century has moved among us, commanding the unqualified esteem and warm affection of all who knew him, and furnishing a beautiful exemplification of the tenets and character of Freemasonry therefore,

"Resolved. That we recall the person, dwell on the life, and cherish the memory of our dear and honored brother, with unmingled satisfaction, regarding him as one, who in every particular was a model of a Christian man and Mason, sweet in temper, cultivated in mind, delightful in manner, and spotless in virtue,

"Resolved. That we are grateful for the privilege of his society which we have enjoyed for so many years and for the fragrant legacy of his example which we now cherish and that we are proud to hold him up to those who shall come after us, as one whose whole life and spirit are worthy of the most exact imitation.

"Resolved. That our sorrow in parting with this cherished brother is alleviated by the knowledge that he was so perfectly fitted for the transition, coming to his grave like a shock of corn, fully ripe in its season, and that we rejoice in the hope of meeting him hereafter, in that bright world where no grief or evil can come, because there the Supreme Architect of the Universe immediately presides."
