Bluefield, W.Va., Aug. 8, 1904.
Pocahantas Lodge No. 578, B, of R.T. has suffered the loss of one of the most beloved members in its death of Bro. T.S. Compton, who died at 12:15 p.m., August 6th, 1904. The funeral was under the directics of the B.F. T., and the interment was in Maple Grove Cemetery at 11 a.m., Aug. 7th. Personally, Bro. Compton was gentlemanly and unassuming and with a character of unsurpassed by honesty and fairness that drew friends to him and cemented friendship so firmly that it could never be broken. He was true to every trust and confidence imposed on him, and in his death, the Brotherhood has lost a member whose good works will stand as a fitting monument to his memory. And as further evidence of the esteem in which the members of our Brotherhood hold him we offer the following resolutions.
1st. That as God saw fit in His infinite wisdom to remove from our midst our dear Brother T.S. Compton, the Brotherhood deeply mourns our great loss.
2nd. That the Trainmen extend their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved wife and relatives of Brother Compton in their sad and sorrowful ordeal. And may the Great ___ be with them and protect them in this sad hour of bereavement.
3rd. That we extend to all who ministered kind assistance to our dear Bro. the thanks of all our members.
4th. That our hall be draped in mourning for 60 days for our deceased bro.
5th. That these resolutions be placed in the minutes of our Lodge and published in the "Bluefield Daily Telegraph" and a copy be sent to the bereaved wife of Bro. Compton and the members of the family.
