Obituary
Fred C. Eggleston was born, May 24, 1885, in Scotland County at the paternal home and passed away there Monday morning at 2:30, September 11, 1922, having attained the age of 37 years, 3 months, and 16 days. At an early age he united with the Methodist Church at Brock, and throughout his life remained faithful to his baptismal vows. On March 21, 1907, he was united in marriage with Miss Nellie G. Merritt. Three children were born to this union: Clark E., aged14; Jennie E., aged 11; and Wayne F., aged 3. Of a quiet disposition he won the esteem and affection of a large circle of friends who delighted in his friendship and fellowship. About three years ago he was initiated into the mysteries of Free Masonry, becoming a member of Memphis Lodge No. 16, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. As a citizen whose influence was exerted for that which was noblest; as a Christian whose loyalty to Christ was never questioned; as a friend, who was faithful and true; as a son, who was loving, thoughtful and kind; as a husband, whose affection was strong and tender; as a father, whose love was manifested in countless ways, he will be honored and his departure mourned. He is survived by his wife, two sons, one daughter, his mother, Mrs. Emily Eggleston, grandmother, Mrs. Louzear Drake; two brothers, Bert and John, Scotland County; four sisters, Mrs. Effie Mains, Mrs. Edith Robinson, Mrs. Myrtle Bull of Scotland County; and Mrs. Maude Rosenberger, of Van Buren County, Iowa and other relatives. The following served as pallbearers: B.L. Troth, W.E. Glover, John Troth, S.C. Adams, Vance Mankopf and Fred Southmayd. Services held at Brock Tuesday afternoon by Rev. E.M. Nesbitt.
Resolutions of Respect
By the decree of the all-wise providence, Brother Fred Eggleston has been called from life’s labor below to Eternal refreshment in the Grand Lodge above. Therefore Be It Resolved that by the death of Brother Eggleston, our Lodge has lost a true and ardent Mason; his family, a kind and affectionate Husband and Father; the community, a loyal and Honorable citizen; and while we bow in humble submission to the mandate of Him who doeth all things well, we sadly said: “Let Thy Will be done.” That to the bereaved family of our deceased brother we tender our sincere sympathy in this, their dark hour of sorrow and affliction, and that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon our record and copy furnished the family and a copy to the papers for publication.
