The Lumberton Argus 10/21/1904
Tribute of Respect.
   The Supreme Architect of the
Universe has summoned, from this
transitory existence to the eter-
nal home above, one of our old-
est and most worthy brethren;
therefore, we the members of
St. Albans Lodge No. 114 A. F.
& A. M., desire to place on record
the following resolutions of re-
spect:
   Brother Neill Townsend was
born December 13, 1838, served
his country faithfully and well
during the civil war, and was
ever a good, exemplary citizen,
devoted to his church and Sun-
day school, a model husband and
father, a promotor of every
movement having for its object
the elevation of his community
and county.
   Whereas, Brother Townsend
fell sleep on August 25th, 1904,
thus severing ties, which we
trust will be united in the Para-
dise of God; therefore, be it
   Resolved, 1.  While we deplore
his departure from our midst, we
know that “our loss is his gain”,
for “him that honoreth me, will
the Father honor.”
   Resolved, 2.  We extend to the
bereaved family our sincere sym-
pathy, poiuring to the Great
Physician, who alone can be
their guide and comforter.
   Resolved, 3.  We commend his
life as an example worthy of
emulation, for he has left the
priceless legacy of a well-spent
life, full of good deeds and
words.
   Resolved, 4.  That a page of
our records be inscribed to his
memory; that our charter be
draped and our members wear
the usual badge of mourning.
   Resolved. 5.  That a copy of
these resolutions be spread upon
the records of the lodge, a copy
be sent to the bereaved family,
also to the Orphan’ Friend,
Argus and Robesonian for public-
cation.
   Respectfully submitted
            C. B. Townsend,
            H. T. Pope,
            R. T. Allen,
                        Committee.
