Jackson and her community has lost a noble, generous Christian citizen, his integrity and honor stainless, his usefulness unbounded in our community. The sudden and unexpected death of our dear Brother makes us pause and ask, is David J. Spencer dead; who has lived so long as the idol of an unbroken family who have grown nature together? “Tis true, but hard; yet God’s providence we cannot doubt”. May we not hope that as the night settled thick upon the fast ebb in life he could catch the breath of a better land hallowed by an eternal day. Resolved : That we tender to his grief, stricken family the sincere sympathy of our Lodge in this day of their sore grief, commending them to the kind mercies of the Father of all. Resolved : That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the Minutes of our Lodge, a copy be sent to his sorrow stricken family, and the Jackson Argus and Jackson Times be requested to publish same.
