To the Wori;Lipful Master, War
denus aud Brethren of Groes-
beck, Lodge No. 354, A. P. &
A. M.
We are proud to believe that
j we live in the greatest age of o.ir
I country'« history. Many are, the
achievements, inventions, advan-
tages and blessings I hat we cu-
joy, and thai were unknown to
our forefathers, and in this day of
electric, speed we go on from one
design to another, laying oiu
plans for the employment of
many years, regardless of the va-
rious mementos of mortality with
which we daily meet, notwith-
standing Death has established
his empire over all the works of
uature. Through oiue uuac-
countabie infatuation we forget
that we are bcrn to die, and that
" la the midst of life we are in
death," and one by one we are
layed to rest. The way we live
means condemned blest.
1 Death has again entered our
fold; just who will be next is
yet untold. Therefore be it re-
solved
First,—That in the death of ou
beloved brother, G. L. Jennings,
Groesbeck Masonic Lodge No. 35<
lost one of its pioneer members,
he having been a member of this-
l<idge 35 years. He was loved by
all, aad his happy disposition and'
many words of encouragement
Were indoed a blessing to our fra-
ternity. His highest ambition in
life was to make good men bet-
tor mtn and entwine those long
graceful arms about the fallen
aud distressed, and with a big,
warm, throbbing heart lift them
to a better life.
Second—That in his death this
iountry Lost one of. its noblest
Lutizens. Those who knew him
in earlier days can testify that lie
Was always ready and willing to
give his time and means to put
forward any movement that
would be for the betterment of|
mankind.
Ihird,—That in the death ofl
I5rother Jennings the heretoved
family lost a noble, loving hus-
band and father in the home that
i« now bereft, and around the
family hearth-stone there is a
c1 air that is vacant and a still-
ness prevails where there was sum
shine, joy, and happiness, for
death has stalked into the once
happy home and robbed it of its
strength and support. In this
and the tone of his voice always
made you welcome. With a kind
word and a quivering hand ex-
tended he always saluted his
brothers and his fellowman. In j
the hour of his greatest affliction
las eyes were turned toward the
sun that was shining and he clos-
ed them when darknefrs came. A
kind word and a glad smile were
he shiboleth of his life; ho was,
j indeed, God's most noble Mason
and man.
From us, Most Worthy Master,
Wardens and Brethren, he i« gone
to mingle with the Saints beyond
the skies and to walk the golden
paved streets of that Eternal City
where sorrow** noven- come, and
to join the choir invisible that
shall ing throughout the ages of
endless time, but in his going we
shall nnt. fnnrpt. H lifft thnt n
has lived, his pleasing smile, his
jovial and WaMe nature and hie
manly heart, which exemplified
the cardinal principles of the true]
and loyal Mason.
| We submit, as a further mark]
[of respect to his memory, that a
copy of these resoutions bo
spread upon the minutes of this
Lodge, h copy furnished to the
|family, and t,o the papers for publ
lie at ion.
Respectfully submitted,
, Marrero Herring,

schools of Mexia for a period of
eight years, graduating with hon-
ors from the High School. After
working for a while in town, he
made the race for County Treas-
urer in 1900, and was successful.
He served his county faithfully
and well; and he had the distinc-

to ever hold the office. Sept.
7, 1903 he was happily married
to Miss Julia Brown of Kosse.

Weldon, survive him. After his
