IN MEMORY OF JOSEPH P. DAY

By the Lebanon Lodge No. 484, A.F. and A.M.

Your committee, appointed to draft resolutions ofn the death of Bro. Joseph 
P. Day, submit the following:

Whereas, on the 22nd day of November 1931, at the home of his son J.M. Day 
in Irwin county, Ga., it pleased the Grand Master of the Universe to call 
our esteemed and beloved brother (Joseph P. Day) from labor to refreshment 
and transplant him from this earthly to that celestial lodge above, there to 
receive his blessed reward and hear the welcome plaudit, "well done, good 
and faithful servant."

Bro. Day was born in Newton county, Ga., on Oct. 20, 1849; he came to 
Cleburne county where he made his home until about seven years ago; he was 
making his home with his daughter Mrs. Fannie Adamson in Tift county, Ga., 
but was visiting his son in Irwin, Ga., at the time of his death. He is 
survived by five sons and three daughters: R.N., J.M., and D.J. Day of 
Chula, Ga.; B.F. and M.W. of Hopewell, Ala; Mrs. Fannie Adamson of Tift 
county; Mrs. Mollie Pressley of Rome; Mrs. Perry Lee Day of Walnut Grove, 
Ga.

His wife and four children preceded him to the grave. Bro. Day joined the 
Missionary Baptist church at Lost Creek in Cleburne county about 58 years 
ago; he was a deacon and holding his letter from Central Church at the time 
of his death. He joined the Masonic fraternity some 40 or 45 years ago; he 
was a member of Lebanon Lodge No. 484, A.F. and A.M.

Therefore, be it resolved first; that while we bow our heads in humble 
submission to Almighy God, we see consolation in the promise that all things 
work together for good to those who love the Lord and our Lodge has lost one 
of its useful members, the county and state a patriotic citizen and his 
children a devoted father.

Be it further resolved that we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved 
family; that we mingle with their tears of grief and commend them to the 
mercy of One who doeth all things well.

Be it further resolved that we drape the Jewels of the Lodge, wear the usual 
badge of mourning for thirty days, and that a page in our minute book be 
left blank to his memory and a copy be sent to The Cleburne News for 
publication.

William L. Hewitt, Secretary, Lebanon Lodge No. 484, A.F. and A.M.
