The Upson Pilot
Saturday morning, May 12, 1860 #26


Collinsworth Institute May 5, 1860 (Talbot County)
At a called meeting of the Students of Collinsworth
Institute, the undersigned wer appointed a committee
to drave resolutions expressive of our feelings in
regard to the death of their much loved companion,
Lucian C. Raines -- who died May 3, 1860 ages 14
years.

Whereas it has pleased an All wise Providence to
remove from our midst a dear fellow student, and a
universal favorite, although we greatly deplore his
early decease, yet with bleeding hearts we humbly
bow in meek submission to "him that doeth all things
well".

Resolved 1. That in the death of Lucian C. Raines,
we have lost one of our dearest associates; the
Methodist Church; an acceptable member; the
community a promising genius and Society a yout who
bid fair to become one of her brightest ornaments.

Resolved 2. In view of his many virtues--his kindness
of heart; generosity of nature, and gentlemanly
deportment to all with whom he was associated -- we
will cherish for his memory the warmest feelings of
friendship and tender to his grief-stricken
relatives our heart-felt sympathies.

Resolved 3. That, as a tribute of respect to the
memory of our deceased brothere, we will wear the
usual badge of mourning for thirty days.

Resolved 4. That a copy of these resolutions be
furnished to his deeply afflicted mother -- also to
the Christian, Adovate, and Upson Pilot.

Committee: J.O.A. Sparks, W.W. Ridenhour, James
