In Memory Mr. James A. Steed

Hall of Mauk Lodge, Number 662, Mauk, Ga.

“On July 13, 1917, he quietly submitted to the grave summons of the messenger,
Death, and passed to that world from whose bourne no traveler returns.  Bro.
Steed was born in Talbot County, Ga. November 4, 1843.”

“He lived when his county was in its grandest splendor, he lived to see its soil
drenched with the blood of its noble sons, he lived to see the conqueror invade
every corner and he lived to see the dark cloud drawn aside and the sunlight of
prosperity again beam upon our horizon amid all the scenes of life.  Brother
Steed was generous in prosperity, cheerful and hopeful in adversity, obedient
and submissive to the will of his supreme Master as a Mason and as a Christian
faithful.  He was a member of the Methodist church, a useful citizen and a
patriot.  He lived respected and he died regretted."
