Resolutions of Sympathy.
Whereas, The immutable laws of
Divinity have fixed a span beyond
which human life may not be ex
tended, and
Whereas, Our Comrade, H. R.
Sturdevant, has yielded obedience
to that mandate, the secret of
which none may penetrate and the
wisdom of which none may question,
and taken his abode in the quiet of
the little green tent whose curtain
never swing outward, and
Whereas, We recognize that Com
rade Sturdevant, by his patriotic
loyalty to his country and by his
indomitable courage and heroic en
durance as a soldier of the Civil
War has left an impress upon the
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic and the Woman's Relief
Corps of no ordinary character;
therefore, be it
Resolved, By Abe Lincoln W. R.
C, No. 49, that by his death we
have lost a valued friend and ad
viser, the community a man of
heroic character and his country
one who in a marked degree exem
plified that devotion to the basic
principals of free government which
marked an epoch in our nation's
history and establishad the republic
upon an imperishable foundation.
Resolved, That these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes of Abe
Lincoln Woman's Relief Corps, and
a copy "be sent to the Lincoln
County Leader for publication and
to our sister, Ina Sturdevant, the
wife of our deceased comrade, Cap
tain Sturdevant.
