Tribute of Respect

St. John’s Lodge F. & A. M. No. 45, April 18,1889

Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God in his wisdom to remove from our ranks to 
the Grand Lodge above our much beloved and honored brother, W. G. McMichael, in 
the seventy-ninth year of his age,

Whereas, having recognized him to be one of the most substantial citizens of 
our county and one of the most fervent, conscientious and devout ministers of 
the gospel, a warm friend and kind father, always punctual to every engagement, 
unswerving in his convictions and brilliant in mind, therefore

Be it resolved, 1st.  That we bow in humble submission to the will of the Grand 
Master of the universe in thus taking from our Lodge our brother; still a void 
is left in our hearts when we think of the many years of social intercourse and 
brotherly love we have enjoyed with him and the many words of sound advice and 
admonition we have listened to from his lips,

2nd.  That while we have consigned the mortal remains of our brother to the 
silent tomb we will cherish his memory in our breasts and strive to emulate his 
example of living the life of the righteous and dying in the love and esteem of 
the brothers of the mystic tie.

3rd.  That a blank page be left in our record book, on which shall be inscribed 
his birth, initiation, passing and raising, death, &c.

4th.  As a further token of the respect we hold for our deported brother that 
the usual badge of mourning be worm for thirty days.
