Tender, loving, earnest and honest in all his varied relations in life, a consistent and devoted Christian, he added new lustre to the Christian profession. And Whereas, This church feels that there is a void which cannot be filled in her midst Therefore be it Resolved 1. That a page on her church book be left with only one name on it, Wiley E. Mangham. Resolved 2. That we feel our great loss to the church and the cause of the Master in our midst in the death of our noble and devoted brother. Resolved 3.

That we tender our sympathies to the devoted daughter, our sister Mrs. Mary J. Redding and her husband, and the grand children and orphan wards of our deceased brother, all of whom we commend to the God of their loved one. Resolved 5. That these resolutions be spread on our church book and copies furnished our county paper and the Christian Index with request to publish same.
