GEO. FITZSIMMONS
In Memoriam.

At a meeting of Island Grange on Saturday, June 28th, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted:

WHEREAS, It has pleased a mysterious Providence to remove from our midst by the hand of death, Bro. Geo. Fitzsimmons, who was a charter member of the Island Grange and ever a consistent and faithful member of the same; therefore be it


Resolved, That in the death of Bro. George Fitzsimmons Island Grange has lost one of its most valuable and trustworthy members, and one whose loss can never be replaced within its walls. As a brother no one could have been more kind or considerate; as a member he was always punctual: and as a “patron” he had untimited “Earth in God.” Be it further.


Resolved,That we tender our heartfelt sympathy to Sister Fitzsimmons in her sad bereavement, and instruct our Secretary to present her with a copy of these resolutions, and also to request their publication in each of the Muscatine Papers.
