Prof. Lambdin – Memoriam
Resolutions on the Death of James M. Lambdin by the Good Templars of Jackson

It is our painful duty to impart to you this evening, the sad news of the death 
of our highly esteemed and much loved brother, Jas. M. Lambdin.  To our nobel 
order his loss is irreparable and can not be estimated.  One who was so devoted 
to every moral cause, whose life was cheerfully laid down on the altar of duty, 
in the cause of temperance, religion and Christ.  Actuated by the purest and 
holiest principles, his life was one of noble impulses and Christian deeds.  
Just entering upon manhood’s estate, an educated accomplished, and polished 
gentleman, well fitted to adorn any circle in life, a bright future opened up 
before him.

Thought young in years, the maturity of scholarly attainment and deep religious 
convictions hung as a graceful mantle upon his young shoulders.  His life was 
one worthy of emulation, and though his body lies in the dark grave, he still 
lives with us in every generous deed, living word and Christian and charitable 
act, and has left as sacred memento not “Footprints on the sands of time,” but 
deeds of love indelibly impressed on memory’s tablet.  We love and cherish your 
memory, dear brother, and may we strive by every act of our lives, to be as 
worthy and as fully prepared to meet the grim monster, death, when he comes for 
us.

Whereas  It has seemed good to Almighty God in whom all power and glory are 
inherent, and in who wisdom is infinite, to remove from this earthly to a 
heavenly kingdom our beloved brother, Prof. Jas. M. Lambdin; and, whereas, in 
his fellowship with us we recognized in him a kindly disposition and those 
moral attributes which are characteristic of the truly Christian gentleman, and 
which shone so beautifully in his noble nature; therefore be it

Resolved, That we, as a fraternity, in brotherly love feel with earnest sorrow 
the loss of our brother, and we feel that in his death we have lost a firm 
advocate of our cause.

Resolved, That we herein express to his bereaved family and desolate companion, 
our heartfelt sympathy and condolence in their loss of a noble son, a worthy 
brother and a true, loving and devoted companion.

Resolved, That we remember him and cherish his memory as a devout Christian and 
true member of our noble order, and point to his life with pride, as an example 
for ourselves and our society.

Resolved, That these resolutions be published in the Middle Georgia Argus, the 
Jackson news, The Barnesville Gazette, the Eatonton Journal, and a copy be sent 
to the relatives of the deceased and spread upon the minutes of this Lodge.
