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. Cnss. W.
