In Memory of Brother Jimmie Gunter
   On Friday morning February 5th 1926, the gentle spirit of Brother
Gunter took its departure to that house not made with hands eternal in
the Heavens.  Jas. J. Gunter was 86 years old when God called him, he
was a native of Walton county, Ga., was born in 1840.  Joined the
Methodist church in his boyhood days, inlisted (sic) in the army April,
1861, served four years, returning home in the spring of 1865, he
served under Captain Enoch McCullum, was married to Missouria Cook of
Oconee county in 1867 joined the Mars Hill Baptist Church with his wife
some 12 years ago.
   Brother Gunters record as a Master Mason was something to be proud of,
he was made a Mason at Mountain Lodge in Walton county at the age of 22
years, he was worked with the Craft at Bogart almost since the Lodge
was instituted, having moved his membership from Walton county he was
faithful in all his undertakings, he was loyal to friends, his
community, Lodge and church.  Brother Gunter lived a life before the
world that was an inspiration to all who knew him.
   Whereas, God in his wise providence has seen fit to remove from our
midst one of our most loved brothers and coworkers, we do most humbly
resolve to submit to the will of Him who doeth all things well.
   Be it resolved.  That we as Masons try the hardest to imitate the
beautiful life of our deceased brother, thereby better fitting our
spiritual lives as living stones for that building not made with hands
eternal in the Heavens.
   Be it resolved further. That our deepest sympathy and love be extended
to the family and relatives of our deceased brother, and that our
prayers be lifted for Gods richest blessings ever rest on them.
   Be it further resolved.  That a copy of these resolutions be spread
upon the records of our Lodge, and a copy be sent to the family and
also a copy be sent to the local papers for publication.
   Respectfully Submitted,
   O.H. Bradbury
   Dr. L.H. Elder,
      Committee
      Bogart Lodge 507
      F.& A.M.
