WILSON To the Worshipful Master, Wardens and Brethren of Haralson Lodge No. 142, F. & A. M. We, the committee, appointed to draft suitable resolutions on the death of our Bro., T.W.T. Wilson, we make the following report: Bro. Wilson was born in Coweta county on July 29, 1847 and died at his home in Meriwether county on June 16, 1910. He was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason in Erin Lodge No. 70 on Feb. 22, 1873 and affiliated with Haralson Lodge in 1879. He was a Past Master at the time of his death, always presiding with dignity. Bro. Wilson was a Christian gentleman, an excellent neighbor, a faithful friend, an honored Mason and a Confederate soldier, true to his country and an upright loyal citizen, a man who feared God and loved to do right. He was honored and respected by all. He rests from his conflicts and toil in a brighter land. As a Mason he has been called from labor to refreshment in the Grand Lodge above, presided over by the Grand Master of the Universe. He was a devoted husband and father. Be it resolved; That we extend our heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved family and commend them to the care of the Supreme Grand Master above who "doeth all things well." That in the death of Bro. Wilson, we have lost a true Mason, the community and county a good, law-abiding citizen, the church a faithful member, and society has lost a strong moral support for justice and right. That the above be placed on the minutes of the lodge, a copy sent to the family and also mailed to the Meriwether Vindicator, the Newnan Herald and Advertiser and the Senoia Enterprise-Gazette for publication.
