Whereas it has pleased the Great Architect of the Universe to remove from our

Whereas, it is but just that a fitting recognition of his many virtues should be
memorialized,  herefore be it

Resolved by Dodson Lodge, No. 289 F. & A. M., that while we bow with humble
submission to the will of the Most High, we do not less mourn for our brother,
who has been taken from us.

Resolved, That in the death of Benj. W. Stone, this Lodge laments the loss of a
brother who was ever ready to proffer thehand of aid and the voice of sympathy
to the needy and distressed of the fraternity; an active member of this society,

prosperity; a friend and companion who was dear to us all; a citizen whose
upright and noble life was a standard of emulation to his fellows.

Resolved, That the heartfelt sympathy of this Lodge be extended to his family in
their bereavement.
