In Metnorinm.
To be while we are in the enjoyment
of perfect health, subject to the shafts of
the grim monster, Death, is the lot of
all men. Especially is this true of those
who man the trains that do the business
of our Railways.
As far as man can see, even the in
satiate Reaper, would spare those hasten
ing to put the seal of marriage to the
course of true love.- But this is
always true. Only a few days ago
departed brother J. H. Blount, left
midgt to go to another part of our State,
y»here a lovely woman awaited his
coming that they might be made one.
Without warning our brother was hurl
ed from Uis scat, and in the fail he re
ceived internal injuries that in a few
days took him to that bourne from
whence no traveler ever returns.
He finished his journey, and the wo
man that had plighted her troth to him
in happier days made it good by giving
her hand in marriage, though our broth-
unable to stand while the words
that made them husband and wife were
spoken.
We cannot call our departed brother
back, nor bind the broken heart and
life so sadly bereaved, but it is meet that
we pay a tribute to his worth, and put
on record our appreciation of his noble
qualities. Therefore he it,
Resolved: That in the death of our
brother, J. H. Blount, we have lost one
whoso devotion to duty made him a
shining example of what our Order
should be.
The .Brunswick and Western Railway
in whose employ he was, has lost an
ployee that held its interests at heart.
The world has lost one in wnomthe
elements were so combined that all
might see he was the embodiment of ail
that made a man—and the wife who-
fate was so recently joined to his has
lost a companion that would have made
her life as bright as her hope had painted
it.
Resolved: Further, that a copy of
thes? “In Memoriam” resolutions be in
scribed on a blank page of the record
book of our Division, that a copy be en
grossed by our worthy secretary and for
warded to the bereaved wife, and that
the Waycross Herald be requested to
publish same. ...
