Mar- tinsburg Camp, No. 2566, M. W. of A. at its last meeting adopted the following resolutions on the death of our neighbor, Henry Hildebrand: Whereas, The great supreme ruler of the universe has, in His wisdom, removed from among us our worthy and esteemed neighbor, Henry Hilde brand, and, whereas, the long and intimate relation held with him In the faithful discharge of his duties in this Camp makes it eminently befitting that we record our appreciation of him.

Therefore, be it Resolved, That this Camp, in his death, recognizes the loss of one of Its most faithful and loyal members, one who, in the exemplification of the principals of our order, has endeared himself to his neighbors and brought credit to the order of Modern Wood men of America. Because of the en dearing ties made by bis as sociation among us, Resolved, That with deep sympathy with the bereaved relatives of the deceased, we express our hope that even so great a loss may be overruled for good by Him who does all things well. Resolved, That a copy of these reso lutions be spread npon the records of this Camp, a copy forwarded to the bereaved family and a copy to the Mexico Ledger for publication. N. M.
