The following newspaper clipping was pasted in an old scrap book. The collector is unknown and most of the clippings appear to be from a Cuba, MO. newspaper. Thursday, Nov. 19, 1891 Obituary The Supreme Master of the Universe has laid the icy hand of death on our well beloved brother Wm. T. Scantlin, leaving in the hearts of the Masonic Fraternity an aching void, which time, the greatest of all healers, cannot fill. The cold, clay city to which we sadly consigned his remains, never received a nobler nature or a wamer or more generous heart. Diligent and honest, discharging every duty pertaining to the sphere in which he moved, however humble it may have been, entitles the name of our departed brother to be placed on the roster of good and noble hearted men, who have passed to that bourne whence no traveler returns. Fraternity, affection and esteem were his while living. the mound, which clasps his city beneath it, was bedewed with the tears of the many friends and relatives who assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to so good a brother. Tender recollections of his benevolence and kindness will ever embalm his memory in our hearts. Resolved, that Cuba Lodge No. 312 A.F. & A.M. tenders to his heart-streken family their sympathy at the loss of so devoted a husband, father and brother. Resolved, that in the death of brother Wm. T. Scantlin, Cuba lodge has lost a true, earnest and faithful member, whose example is worthy of emulation. Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions and preamble, with the seal of the lodge attached, be sent to the bereaved family. Resolved, that a copy be also filled in the Archives of the Lodge.
