"TRIBUTE OF RESPECT FOR SAMUEL H. MCKEE

At a regular communication of Sawyer Lodge No. 93, A.F. and A.M., held in the Masonic Hall at Wedowee , Ala. , April 25, 1896, the following resolutions were adopted:

Whereas the grim tyrant Death has again alarmed our door and has marked and claimed as his victim our brother, Samuel H. McKee, therefore be it resolved: 1st; that in the death of brother McKee, Masonry has lost the influence of a devoted member. Although for many years his afflictions have prevented him from attending our communications, his fidelity to the principles and teachings of Masonry have been inflexible. 2nd; that we tender to his family our sincere sympathies in their bereavement. 3rd; that the members of this lodge wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. 4th; that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes and that a page in our records be dedicated to his memory. 5th; that the Randolph Toiler be requested to publish these resolutions. J.C. Swann, J.K. Tennant, V.T. Bonner, Committee. April 25, 1896."
