ERICK REBEKAH LODGE No. 352, I.O.O.F.
October 25th, 1929 - Whereas, God in infinite wisdom, saw fit to take from
us our sister, Minnie Evans, Resolved, that we drape our Charter thirty
days, furnish a copy to the Erick paper, and to the family, knowing how
weak and fruitless might be any words that we might attempt to say to the
bereaved family at such loss.  We extend our heartfelt sympathy and pray
that they may find comfort in their Heavenly Father, who doeth all things
well.
Committee --
Armanda Gilbert.
