whole community. If they would do a*,

pray in secret, it would be much to the

Americus, Go., May 18, 1870.
At a meeting of Americus Lodge. F. A.
M., the undersigned were appointed a
committee to draft each resolutions as
would express their bereavement, conse
quent on the death of onr brother, Col.
Win. M. Brown. In compliance there
with we submit the following
REPORT:
Col. Wm. M. Brown was a resident ol
Marion county, and died suddenly in
Americus on the morning of the 29th of
April, 1870, in the 63d year of his age.
The death of onr brother was a sad and
mysterious one, the cause of which is
known only to the great “I Am.” With
in a few hoars of his death he was in the
vigor of manhood, but death suddenly
aid his icy cold hands upon him, and
claimed him as his own. Though he was
not permitted by Providence to breathe
his last in the peaceful abode of his own
loved home, or be surrounded by liis af
fectionate companion and loving daugh
ters, yet wc have tho consolation of
knowing that he was attended in his last
moments by his two sons and a large num
ber of sorrowing friends and mystic
brethren.
The character of CoL Brown was
strongly marked by n strict integrity in
all his business relations. He was firm
in his attachments and candid in the ex
pression of his sentiments apon all sub
jects. He was a high-toned, generous
gentleman, genial companion and nsefal
citizen. His loss is a great calamity, not
only to the section of conntry where his
lot was cast, bat to the entire State. Th<
family and community feel that they
have sustained an irreparable loss in the
death of CoL Win. M. Brown—a void not
easily filled.
In testimony of our respect as mem
ben of Americus Lodgo for tho rare
qualities of head and heart of onr friend
and brother, be it therefore
Resolved, That while we bow with sub
mission to the divine will of onr heaven
ly lather in removing from onr midst on
much esteemed friend and brother, and
mourn with hearts full of sorrow, we can
bat exclaim, “Thy will,not ours, be done,
O God. ”
Resolved, That we extend to the wi
dow and family of CoL Wm. M. Brown
onr heartfelt sympathy and condolence
in their great affliction in that they have
lost a good husband and kiud father.
Resolved,' That onr condolence be ten
dered to the brethren of Marion Lodge,
of which onr bro her was a zealous mem
ber, and mingle oor grief with theirs in
this sad calamity.
Resolved, That the. Secretary be in
stroetyd to forward a copy of this memo
riam to the Lodge of wbioh the deceased
was a member, and also to the family of
our deoeosed brother.
