In Memoriarct.
At u regular meeting of Oscaluwa Grange,
held at Grange Ilall, in North Towanda, on
Friday evening last, the death of Past Master
E. ItKUBKN DkLong, was announced, and the
following memorial presented and adopted:
Jt is with profound sorrow, and grief un
feigned, that we have heard the announce
ment of the death of our worthy and highly
esteemed Brother, Past Master K. R. 1)k-
LONG. VVe remember with gratitude his
efforts in establishing this Grange, and his
self-sacritieing labors, in season and out of
season, to render our meetings pies sunt and
profitable, and dissemmiuate the ennobling
principles of our Order. This beautiful, com
modious hall in which we meet, is a monu
ment to his liberality and practical interest
in the Patrons of Husbandry. While in the
enjoyment of health his place here was seldom
vacant, and no duty devolving upon him ever
failed of prompt and cheerful fulfillment. As
Patrons, we can best honor his memory by
emulating hi* example.
In the death of Brother DKLONG, his fanil
lv have been deprived of one who always
made home eliet rlul, community has lost an
enterprising, indusl rous, upright citizen, and
the Grange one of its brightest ornaments
and most useful members, nudtho Urd< r
atrlargc an intelligent, loyal Patron.
While we mourn the dispensation which
has removed from our midst one so eminent y
worthy the high distinction b<- had attain
ed, we bow m humble submission to the
decree of the (ireat Master, who has called
him from the labors of earth, to enjoy an
eternity of rest. While he was yet loling
he heard the ever gentle voice saying "Come
unto me, for my burden is light," and gladly
obeyed.
To our bereaved sister, tlitis widowed, and
aged mother, bereft of a son, we oiler our
sympathy, and direct them for consolation to
One who rules in heaven and among the
children of men, and who never willingly
afflicts his children.
As a token of our esteem for our departed
lirother, it is ordered that this minute la;
spread upon our records, a copy s nt to his
bereaved widow; and the Husbandman,
Farmers' Friend > and papers of Towanda be
requested to publish the same.
