Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, May 24, 1906
Mr. J. S. McBryde.
  Died on April 19th, 1906, at his residence at Oak Hill, Wilcox 
County, Ala., J. S. McBryde, Past Master of Wilcox Lodge No. 80 A. F. & 
A. Masons. Bro. McBryde was born and reared in Wilcox County. At an 
early age he enlisted as a private in the Wilcox True Blues 1st 
Regiment C. S. A., and served twelve months at Pensacola. He afterwards 
joined the 44th Alabama Regiment, was elected Orderly Sergeant of his 
company, and served in the army of Virginia until the close of the war. 
Bro. McBryde was made a Mason in Wilcox Lodge No. 80 in 1866, and was 
an active and zealous member until he died. He filled many of the most 
important offices of the Lodge including the Worshipful Master, to 
which he was elected in 1886, and served almost continually until he 
declined to be elected in 1901. After his retirement he never lost 
interest in the Lodge but was always at his post unless providentially 
hindered. As a soldier Bro. McBryde was loyal to the Lost Cause. As a 
Mason he was zealous and exemplary. As a citizen he was peacable and 
law-abiding. As a friend, true and faithful, and it is with deep regret 
and profound sorrow that we recall the death of our worthy Past Master.
Therefore be it Resolved:
  1st. - That we tender to his bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy 
and condolence.
  2nd. - That we wear the usual badge of mourning.
  3rd. - That a copy of these resolutions be furnished to the family of 
our deceased brother.
  4th. - That a copy be furnished the county papers for publication.
  5th. - That a blank page in our minutes be set apart and his name be 
inscribed thereon.
                     J. H. McWilliams,
                     E. T. McWilliams,
                     W. M. Fitzgerald,
                               Committee.
