TRIBUTE OF RESPECT for SAMPSON SEALEY
 
            The committee appointed to prepare suitable resolutions expressive 
of the emotions of deep regret which St. Alban’s Lodge has felt and acknowledged 
upon hearing of the very sudden and mysterious death of our worthy and lamented 
brother, SAMPSON SEALEY, which took place at his own residence in Robeson 
County, on the 12th day of December, A. L. 5860 – make the following report viz:  
Whereas, another sad, solemn and awe-awakening appeal from the Spirit-land has 
been
received by us in having heard of the very sudden and mysterious death of our 
excellent, esteemed and lamented brother, Sampson Sealey, therefore:
            Resolved, That while we humbly submit to the wise and mysterious 
gevents of an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God, “Whose ways are not as 
our ways,” whose all-seeing-eye is ever upon us, and reminding us of the 
uncertainty of life, and the all important theme
of being “also ready!”  Yet we fully realize the loss of our noble, generous and 
excellent brother; and that St. Alban’s Lodge has lost one of its devoted and 
efficient members, a cause in which he delighted and labored faithfully and with 
zea for the last nine years of his virtuous and useful life.
            Resolved, That we tender our heart-felt sympathy and condolence with 
the relatives and friends of our deceased brother, in this sad bereavement.
            Resolved, That in token of respect for our well beloved brother we 
wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
            Resolved, That a page of our records be inscribed with the date of 
the death of our lamented brother, Sampson Sealey, and that the same be 
preserved inviolate from the other proceedings as a testimonial of our respect 
for his memory.
            Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be entered on the minutes 
of the Lodge, and that the Secretary send a copy to the bereaved family of our 
deceased brother and that the same be published in the Fayetteville papers.
            Fraternally submitted,
                                      R. E. TROY,    )
                                      Wm. B. BLAKE,  (  Com.
                                      A. D. BROWN,
J. R. Carter, Secretary
Masonic Hall, Lumberton, Robeson Co., N. C. Dec 27
