Bro. Wesley Wilson Addy was born in Lexington county, S.C. on Oct. 9, 1827 and died at his home near Haralson, Ga., Feb. 25, 1908, being 80 years of age. When 17 years of age he moved with his father to Georgia and settled near Haralson. In early life he was confirmed in Salem Evangelical Lutheran church in Lexington, thereby assuming the baptismal vows made by his parents for him in his infancy, and he ever lived a true, consecrated Christian life. On Feb. 20, 1851, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Gable Weems, nee Bernhard of Henry County, Ga., from which union twelve chidren were born, eight sons and four daughters, al of whom survive. His wife preceded him to the spirit world several years ago. In the late War Between the States, he enlisted and did service in the State Militia. He was a true and faithful soldier, cheerfully performing any duty imposed upon him. At the close of the war, he returned to his home and family near Haralson and devoted his time to the rearing of his family and educating his children. He also reared two orphan nieces. Bro. Addy was made a Maston Mason in Haralson Lodge No. 142 on the 9th day of April 1864 and remained a faithful member until his death. Forty-four years a Mason, he has gone to answer the roll call in the Grand Lodge above. He met all men upon the level, squaring his life with all mankind by the square of virtue. Bro. Addy was a true and affectionate husband, a kind, loving and indulgent father, a good citizen, and a lovable neighbor, being ever ready to assist the poor and needy. None knew him but to love him. He loved his church, and when able attended his meetings regularly, being ever ready to assist in any charitable work either in church or community. Therefore, be it resolved: 1. That in the death of Bro. Addy the community has lost one of its most beloved citizens; Mt. Pilgrim Evangelist Lutheran church one of its oldest and most devoted members and strongest supporters; and Haralson Lodge one of its oldest and truest members. 2. That Haralson Lodge tender the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy in this their sad bereavement. 3. That a page of our minute book be inscribed to his memory and that the Lodge wear the usual badge of mourning for 30 days. 4. That a copy of these resolutions be furnished the family of our deceased brother, and that a copy be sent also to the Senoia Enterprise-Gazette and Newnan Herald and Advertiser with the request that they publish the same.

Addy's wife was Margaret Isabella Bernhard, daughter of Jacob Bernhard & Esther Lites. Her first husband was John M. Weems.
