IN MEMORIAM
  At a regular meeting of Lake Grange No. 1255 held Feb. 12, 1872, the 
following resolutions were adopted, in reference to the death of sister 
Margaret Yates who was suddenly taken from this, her earthly home on the eve 
of the 9th inst.
  Whereas it has pleased our Heavenly Father, to remove from our midst, our 
beloved sister, to enjoy that rest prepared for those who have loved and 
served him, therefore,
  Resolved, That in her death this grange has lost one of its most worthy 
members, the neighborhood one of the best and most useful citizens, the church 
one of her most consistent members, her husband a kind and affectionate 
companion and children their best earthly friend.
  Resolved, That while we deeply deplore the loss of our beloved sister, we 
sorrow not as those who have no hope, but rejoice to know that she had always 
lived a trusting and confiding Christian.
  Resolved, That her amiable disposition and exemplary qualifications, were 
such as to win for her the good will and esteem of all who knew her, therefore 
causing us all to unite in expressions of sorrow, for the sad and untimely end 
of one who was so useful in every relation of life.
  Resolved, That her vacant place in our midst, will be to us constant 
reminder of her tragic death; and may it also serve as admonition to each one 
of us, to prepare as she had done, for that better world above.
  Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with the family of deceased in this, 
their sad bereavement, and point them to the God in whom she trusted.
  Resolved, That as a taken of respect to our departed sister, the members of 
this grange wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
  Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the husband and family 
of the deceased sister, and one to the Missouri Farmer and each of the Liberty 
papers for publication.
