IN MEMORIAM
At a regular meeting of Lake Grange No. 1255 held Feb. 12, 1875, the following resolutions were adopted, in reference to the death of sister Margaret Yates who was suddenly taken from this, her earthly home on the eve of the 9th inst.
Whereas, it has pleased our Heavenly Father, to remove from our midst, our beloved sister, to enjoy that rest prepared for those who have loved and served him, therefore,
Resolved, That in her death this grange has lost one of its most worthy members, the neighborhood one of the best and most useful citizens, the church one of her most consistent members, her husband a kind and affectionate companion and children their best earthly friend.
Resolved, That while we deeply deplore the loss of our beloved sister, we sorrow not as those who have no hope, but rejoice to know that she had always lived a trusting and confiding christian.
Resolved, That her amiable disposition and exemplary qualifications, were such as to win for her the good will and esteem of all who knew her, therefore causing us all to unite in expressions of sorrow, for the sad and untimely end of one who was so useful in every relation of life.
Resolved, That her vacant place in our midst, will be to us constant reminder of her tragic death; and may it also serve as admonition to each one of us, to prepare, as she had done, for that better world above.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with the family of deceased in this their sad bereavement, and point them to the God in whom she trusted.
Resolved, That as a token of respect to our departed sister, the members of this grange wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the husband and family of the deceased sister, and one to the Missouri Farmer and each of the Liberty papers for publication.
