Lineville Headlight
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty. God to call from our midst our beloved 
Brother, Richard Sanford Gray. He was born December the 5th, 1827, and died 
September the 26th, 1913, and was 85 years 9 months and 21 days old at the time 
of his death. He was made a Mason at Daviston, Alabama, in 1862. He later moved 
his membership to Hardy-Howle Lodge at Delta, Alabama, of which lodge he was a 
member in good standing at the time of his death: Brother Gray was a faithful 
member, and we shall miss his presence in our lodge meetings. He was a good 
neighbor and a truthful and honest man. He leaves a wife, four sons and three 
daughters and a host of friends to mourn his loss. We mourn with his loved ones 
but bow in humble submission to the will of the Supreme Master of the Universe 
and commend the bereaved ones to Him Who doeth all things well. Loved ones, weep 
not for him who is gone, for, as the poet said, "Death is only a dream" and we 
trust that when we cross over death's dark river and join the redeemed of earth 
Brother Gray will be there to welcome us. Resolved, that a copy of these 
resolutions be spread on the minutes of the Lodge, a, copy be furnished the 
bereaved family, and that it be published in The Headlight, J. K. Hardy, I.A. 
Garrett, W. J. Ingram, Commitee from Hardy-Howie.
