Lowell Ledger - 21 April 1875
On Friday morning, 16th inst.,after a short illness, Joseph Pickard, aged 56 
years and 6 months.

Mr. Pickard was an old resident and well known citizen in this village and 
vicinity and his sudden death is deplored by many friends.  His remains were 
interred by his brother masons last Sabbath, in Keene where he formerly 
resided.  The following resolutions are handed us by the committee for 
publication:

WHEREAS - It has pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from us by death our 
brother Joseph Pickard, for many years a member of this Lodge, therefore

RESOLVED, that we cherish the memory of our departed brother as that of an 
honest upright man and mason, and a useful and honored member and former 
officer of this Lodge.

Resolved, that we deeply sympathize with the widow and the fatherless in this 
the hour of trial, and that we commend them for comfort to Him who alone can 
measure their grief and their loss.

Resolved, that we attend the funeral as a Lodge, and inter the body of our 
deceased brother with the usual masonic honors.

Resolved, that a copy of these Resolutions suitably signed, be presented to the 
family of the deceased and a copy be furnished the Lowell Journal for 
publication.

Committee:  Henry M. Clark, E. A. Sunderlin, S. P. Hicks
