A Tribute
Lindale Knights of Pythias Pass Resolutions of Sympathy for Henry Johnson upon 
the Death of His Mother

Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God in his wise providence to call Mrs. M.J. 
Johnson, the mother of our brother Harry Johnson, to higher clime and nobler 
living, still the parting of dear ones and especially the going of a devoted 
and lovable mother mantles us in gloom and pains out hearts.
On the 25th day of January, 1845, Mrs. Johnson first caught the gleam of light. 
Early in life she decided to live for God and became a member of the Methodist 
church. Her sufferings were intense but she bore them with patience and 
christian fortitude.
On the 9th day of March, 1910, after the sun had dispelled the sable shades of 
night, kissed  away the morning dews shot athwart, his resplendant rays 
lightning up the deep blue seas of heaven, God sent his messenger from the 
realms of the elysium fields to the home of our brother and bade his mother go 
hence.She answered the call, she was ready. "I am going to Heaven." were the 
parting words.
The Rev. Mr. Cantrell conducted the last sad rites and Mrs. Johnson was 
lovingly laid to rest to await the resurrection.
Her gentle spirit was born away on the pinions of angels to Paradise to dwell 
with God. She left her children a rich legacy, one that out shines all the gold 
and diamonds, an untarnished character.
"To dwell in peace, with home affections bound, 
To know the sweetness of a mother's voice,
To feel the spirit of her love around,
And in the blessing of her eye rejoice [illegible] love.
Our brother who feels the blow so keenly we would say, Look! there is a rift in 
the cloud and beyond it is all sunshine. 
"And with the morn those angels faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and dost awhile."

Resolved, That the Lindale Lodge No. 110 K.of P. extend to our beloved brother 
our deepest sympathies in the loss of his precious mother, and pray that his 
Knightly life be as true as his mother's was queenly.
Resolved second, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished our brother and 
a copy be spread upon our minutes.

Marshall G. Ledford, Howell E. Newton, Frank L. Sammons, Committee on 
Resolutions
