Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, May 21, 1908
Resolutions of Respect.
HALL OF DALE LODGE, NO. 25   }
CAMDEN, ALA., March 20, 1908 } 
  Whereas our Lodge since its last communication, has been bereft of one of our 
most useful and brightest members, in the death of Brother Neill McArthur, a 
past Master of Dale Lodge, No. 25, who died near Camden, Feb. 23, 1908, aged 66 
years.
  And whereas, Brother McArthur, was a man who endeared himself to the Lodge, 
by his profound study and knowledge of Free Masonry, whose genial nature, 
innocent wit, and personal amiability, whose kindness to the poor, the sick, 
needy and suffering, and whose upright life, and unquestioned integrity, caused 
us to recognize in him, a most worthy examplar; into whose life, shone the 
seeing eye, and who worked with the square, and whose walk was level and plumb; 
who as High Priest of the chapter, lived such Masonic life, that in the arch of 
his life, was placed the keystone, and as Thrice Illustrious Master of the 
Council, the Spekinah of the Devine Presence was with him; and whereas, as a 
Lodge, we realize that it is difficult to fill his place, in the ordinary walks 
of life, and in our circle.
  Therefore, be it resolved, that in the death of Brother McArthur, we mourn 
his demise, and commend his spirit, to a Merciful God who gave it.
  Resolved, that our condolences are tendered to his bereaved relatives, and we 
would have them remember, that what is their loss is his gain.
  Resolved, that a blank page in our book of minutes be suitably inscribed, and 
these resolutions be handed the county papers for publication.
                   S. D. BLOCH,
                   R. E. McWILLIAMS,
                   E. N. JONES,
                             Committee.
