Overstreet this lodge feels the weight of an irreparable loss; that his personal service in the cause of the truth, his pure and noble character, affording an example to his survivors, and the now broken ties that long connected many of us in personal relationship with him, make this a heavy yoke of death which this lodge has been called on to bear; second, that we, the brethren of T. W. Wash Lodge No. 430, extend to the bereaved family of the deceased our heart-felt sympathy in their sad hour of bereavement; and that, in token of which, we will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
