DAY By the Lebanon Lodge No. 484, A.F. and A.M. Your committee, appointed to draft resolutions ofn the death of Bro. Joseph P. Day, submit the following: Whereas, on the 22nd day of November 1931, at the home of his son J.M. Day in Irwin county, Ga., it pleased the Grand Master of the Universe to call our esteemed and beloved brother (Joseph P. Day) from labor to refreshment and transplant him from this earthly to that celestial lodge above, there to receive his blessed reward and hear the welcome plaudit, "well done, good and faithful servant." Bro. Day was born in Newton county, Ga., on Oct. 20, 1849; he came to Cleburne county where he made his home until about seven years ago; he was making his home with his daughter Mrs. Fannie Adamson in Tift county, Ga., but was visiting his son in Irwin, Ga., at the time of his death. He is survived by five sons and three daughters: R.N., J.M., and D.J. Day of Chula, Ga.; B.F. and M.W. of Hopewell, Ala; Mrs. Fannie Adamson of Tift county; Mrs. Mollie Pressley of Rome; Mrs. Perry Lee Day of Walnut Grove, Ga. His wife and four children preceded him to the grave. Bro. Day joined the Missionary Baptist church at Lost Creek in Cleburne county about 58 years ago; he was a deacon and holding his letter from Central Church at the time of his death. He joined the Masonic fraternity some 40 or 45 years ago; he was a member of Lebanon Lodge No. 484, A.F. and A.M. Therefore, be it resolved first; that while we bow our heads in humble submission to Almighy God, we see consolation in the promise that all things work together for good to those who love the Lord and our Lodge has lost one of its useful members, the county and state a patriotic citizen and his children a devoted father. Be it further resolved that we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family; that we mingle with their tears of grief and commend them to the mercy of One who doeth all things well. Be it further resolved that we drape the Jewels of the Lodge, wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days, and that a page in our minute book be left blank to his memory and a copy be sent to The Cleburne News for publication. William L. Hewitt, Secretary, Lebanon Lodge No. 484, A.F. and A.M.
