Jackson Argus – Butts County, Week of February 25, 1898
David Jepth Spencer

RESOLUTION OF RESPECT

We, the undersigned committee appointed by St. John’s Lodge 45 F. & A.M. to 
draft resolution on the death of our dear Brother David Jepth Spencer, who was 
called by the grand Master of the Universe to refreshment Feb.7th, 1898, and 
was buried with Masonic honor in Jackson Cemetery Feb. 8th, 1898

Resolved : That in the death of Brother Spencer the Lodge has lost a true and 
loyal Mason.  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.

W. M. Mallet, Chairman
Sam’L McKibben
