OBITUARY for J.C. GIBBS

Whereas the grim reaper death, has again invaded our community and taken from
us our dear brother J.C. Gibbs and whereas Bro. Gibbs was a man of unswerving
integrity and loyalty to truth and right, and whereas he was a loyal and
faithful member of the Heflin Chapter No. 33, Order of the Eastern Star; a
kind an loving husband and father; a faithful friend, an upright christian
gentleman. Therefore be it resolved by Heflin Chapter No. 33, Order of the
Eastern Star, first; that our chapter has lost one of its very best members,
and that we mourn his loss but not as those who have no hope; for we feel that
what is our loss in his eternal and infinite gain. Resolved second; that we
recognize and bow to the will of our god for this dispensation of his
providence; that as Longfellow has expressed it;

"We see dimly through these mists and vapor,
amid these earthly damps
what seems to us but sad, funeral tapers,
may be heaven's distant lamps."

Resolved third; that his family has suffered an irreparable loss; the church
a loyal faithful member, and the community an esteemed citizen.

Resolved fourth; that we tender to his loved ones our deepest sympathy and
commend them to the god of all grace who has promised to be a husband to the
widow and a father to the fatherless.

Resolved fifth, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved
family; a copy recorded in our book of minutes and a copy be furnished the
Heflin papers for publication.

Respectfully submitted,
C.B. Boman
Lou Ttkins
Mattie Hunnicutt, Committee
