Whereas, God in His infinite wisdom, has seen fit to remove Bro William H CULPEPPER from the walks of men to transplant him in the kingdom above, the Masonic Fraternity has suffered a great loss. Bro CULPEPPER was our oldest and most loyal member until extreme age prevented. He was born Oct 17th, 1813; died March 22nd, 1909. He was made a Mason at Milltown Lodge in 1853. As a Minister of the Gospel and a true christian [sic] worker, the church has lost a noble life. No better, noble life has this Lodge ever possessed. Resolved, that while we deeply mourn our loss, we humbly bow to the will of God which was accomplished in this life and death. We will ever cherish in our hearts the memory of this good man and imitate his virtues in our lives. That the bereaved family have our deepest sympathy in their loss, but we point them to the life he lived, and to all who follow in his footsteps there will be a grand reunion of this lodge and noble family, in that home above, where Jesus has gone to prepare for you, that “where I am there you may be also.” (Signed) Alfred M CAMP, W M.
