Empire State – Spalding County Georgia Week of December 23, 1856
C. W. Black
Tribute of Respect

Pine Grove Lodge
Henry County, GA

At a called meeting, we the following committee, to whom was referee the duty 
of preparing suitable resolutions expressive of the memory of our dear beloved 
Brother, who departed this life November 26th, 1856, suddenly, with an attack 
of apoplexy, will respectfully submit the following.

We are reminded of the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death – that we 
live in a land of shadows, a fruitful field of flaming promises alone.  We had 
every reason to believe that our brother C. W. Black, lived the life of a good 
mason; and that he is gone and the struggles of the reluctant nature over his 
body sleeps in death, and the soul returned to God, to Paradise; but there is 
no appeal or relief from the great law which dooms us to dust.   We flourish 
and fade as the leaves of the forest.   In the death of our departed brother, 
we lost one of our brightest jewels; his wife a loving husband and his doting 
mother as obedient son. And in token our sincerity, be it therefore

Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with the bereaved family of our deceased 
brother in their irreparable loss.

Resolved,  That in respect for the memory of the deceased, we will wear the 
usual badge of mourning on our left arm, for thirty days.

Resolved,  That the Secretary furnish the family of the deceased brother with a 
copy of these resolutions.   Also to the Empire State, and the American Union 
for publication.

 T. G. Barnett, A.G. Couch,  D. S. Smith, Committee
