Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, May 21, 1908
Resolutions of Respect.
HALL OF DALE LODGE, NO. 25   }
CAMDEN, ALA., April 10, 1908 } 
Thomas Sumter Caldwell, a past master of our Lodge, died at his home at Camden, 
April 3, 1908, aged 64 years, and his remains were interred that afternoon with 
masonic honors, in the town in which he was born, reared and lived. Though he 
had not passed into the sere and yellow leaf, yet we miss his genial presence, 
and useful personality.
  Our brother had by cultivated training, given to a mind naturally elastic and 
active, much study, so that he was recognized on many matters, as authority on 
information. Fond of the social and refined pleasures of life, he neglected 
none of its cares and duties. He bowed in humble adoration before the Grand 
Master of the Universe, and endeavored to square his every action by the Golden 
Rule. A consistent Mason and devoted husband and father, a gentleman true to 
the relations of life, and a citizen watchful of the public interests; a brave 
soldier of the South when he was but a mere youth, he was gentle to those he 
loved, and kind to those in need of his assistance. He was true to Free 
Masonry; he was a faithful chapter Mason; and from the beginning to his death, 
he was the trustworthy secretary and treasurer of our Wilcox County Masonic 
Association. Therefore be it - 
  Resolved, That in the death of Brother, T. S. Caldwell, Dale Lodge No. 25 has 
been deprived of the counsel, and co-operation of one whose interest in the 
work of Masonry, rendered him a worthy and accepted brother, and his family, a 
protector and help, who truly discharged his duties. 
  Resolved, that we extend to his immediate family, the sorrowful sympathies of 
this Lodge, and invoke God's blessings for them, in this sad hour.
  Resolved, that a blank page in our book of minutes, be suitably inscribed to 
his family, and these resolutions be published in the county papers.
                           S. D. BLOCH,
                           J. S. HUNTER,
                           D. B. JONES,
                                 Committee.
