Joseph L. Fretwell
Jackson Sabbath School

September 11,1881

We the committee appointed by the school to present the Resolutions expressive 
of the feelings at the school in regard to the death of our brother and school 
mate, Joseph L. Fretwell, submitted the following:

Resolved 1.  That while we meekly submit to the will of God, who gave and has a 
right o take away.  Yet we feel a deep mortification in the death of one so 
much beloved by us, whose gentleness, honesty, truthfulness, industry, sobriety 
and chastity of life had won our entire affections.

Resolve 2. That we recommend his christian character to the entire school and 
feel assured that while our hearts are stricken with the pangs of grief, his 
immortal soul is basking in the sunshine of immortal bliss.

Resolve 3. That his sorrowing family have our sympathy in this their sad 
bereavement and with them we unite our prayers that their and our lives may be 
as his and that we may as friends, family and school meet him at last where 
there will be no more death or sorrow, but in the presence of our God live and 
reign forever.

Resolve 4.  That a copy of these resolutions be furnished to the family of the 
deceased.

Resolve 5.  That these resolutions be furnished to the Jackson News and Middle 
Georgia Argus with the request for publication.
