Jackson Argus – Week of February 17, 1897
Major Wolihin Dead

Maj. A. M. Wolihin died at his home in Macon on the night of the 22nd inst after
an illness of about two months.

Maj. Wolihin enjoyed an extensive acquaintance among the Masons of the state and
especially of this section.   He has visited Jackson and rendered valuable
services in conferring Masonic degrees.   The brethren here regarded him as one
of the grandest old men in the order and his death causes much sadness.

He was a consistent member of the Baptist church, having accepted that faith
many years ago.   As a Mason Major Wolihin took second place to none in his love
and enthusiasm for the order.    For the past ten or twelve years he was the
grand secretary of the order and performed the duties of that office as a work
of love.  He loved the order for its ennobling effects on mankind and no man did
more than he to help keep up its high teachings.   Major Wolihin was also grand
secretary of the grand chapter of Georgia of Royal Arch Masons and deputy
inspector general of the Southern Jurisdiction of the Thirty Third degree of
Scottish Rite Masons.   In his daily walk he practiced charity and benevolence
towards his fellow man and although one of the most courageous of men he was as
gentle as a woman.  Those who knew him best loved him most.   No man had more
warm personal friends that he and the announcement of his death will be learned
with profound regret through the jurisdiction of Georgia.
