Henry Hendrick – Resolution

St. John’s Lodge, No. 45, F. & A.M. – August 15,1887

Again Death, is silent but solemn step, as invaded our sanctum, and his awful 
mandate has gone forth.  While it was not altogether unexpected, yet we are 
grieved at the loss of our brother Henry Hendrick.

He had been in failing health for some years, and bore his sufferings with 
fortitude and patience.  The end came, and on the 28th day of last July he 
quietly closed his eyes and fell asleep.  His departure was painless and 
peaceful.  In his death this lodge recognizes the loss of an old, esteemed, 
worthy and accomplished Mason.  The tenets of the order were his law, and he 
walked therein for a long tenure of years without reproach.  Loving and kind, 
generous to a fault, none knew but to love him.

We withhold not from his memory the praise his virtues claim. Wherefore:

Resolved, 1, - That we leave a blank page upon the minutes of this lodge sacred 
to his memory.

Resolve, 2, - That these resolutions be published once in the Middle Georgia 
Argus, and that a copy be furnished the family of the deceased.

Resolved, 3 – That we extend to the family of our worthy deceased brother our 
condolence, and that we as Masons emulate his virtues and thereby keep green 
his sacred memory.

Resolve, 4, - That the lodge be draped in mourning and that the members wear 
the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.

F. J. Key, R. G. Bryans, E. P. Catchings.
