Master Mason John J. Simkin, and whereas, the long and intimate relation held with him in the faithful discharge of his duties in his Lodge, makes it eminently befitting that we record our appreciation of him therefore Resolved, That the wisdom and ability which he has especially in the aid of our fraternity by service contribution and counsel will be held in grateful remembrance. Resolved, That the removal of such a life from among our midst leaves a vacancy and a shadow that will be deeply realized by all the members and friends of Cokerville Lodge No. 75 A. F. & A. M., and will prove a serious loss to the community and the public. Resolved, That with deeply sympathy with the bereaved relatives of the deceased, we express our hope that when so great a loss to us all may be overruled for good by "Him who doeth all things well." Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of the Lodge, a copy printed in the local papers, and a copy forwarded to the bereaved family. Respectfully, D. M. Maxwell W. L.
