 Feb              Whereas, it pleased God to remove from us
19th 1871         by death, January 15th 1871, in the 76th year of his age
                  Mr Duncan McNeill, who was long a member
                  And Ruling Elder in this church (Philadelphus)
                  He was a highly esteemed citizen, a sincere, exemplary
                  christian + a faithful and useful Ruling Elder.
                  His wisdom in counsel, his prudence in action, and
                  his remarkable punctuality in attendance on the ordinance
                  of God’s house and its duties, till failing health
                  deprived him, of this privilege, gave him, no ordinary
                  influence among the people.
1.      Resolved therefore, that while we feel and moves our great loSs in his 
removal from us, and while by this event, we are amonished, that we too must 
die, and give account of our stewardship, yet we love to cherish his memory, 
with gratitude to God for the grave bestowed upon him, in health and in 
sickneSs, for his example and usefulneSs among us and for the hope, that we have 
good reason to cherish, that he is now at rest with his saviour in the kingdom 
of glory. 
2ndly  Resolved that this paper be recorded in our minutes
and a copy furnished the family of our deceased
friend. ~ Adjourned sinc did closed with prayer
                                      James McCallum Clerk
