In memory of brother Clarence I. Burkett, who died Octo. 21, 1918.
Once again the "Great Spirit" hath summoned through death a brother Red Man to take the long trail to the happy hunting grounds, to the Kingdom of Ponemah, to a life in the land of the hereafter. He has been a diligent and faithful worker in our tribe's labors of freedom, friendship and charity, and has contributed freely of aid in relieving the necessities of the widow and orphan. As a recompense of his service, he has received the plaudit, "well done" from the Great Spirit.
And, whereas, the all-wise and merciful Father has called our beloved and respected brother home; and he having been a true and faithful member of our Mystic Order, therefore be Resolved, That Seminole Tribe No. 33, Order of Red men of Marshall, Ill, in testimony of our loss, tenders to the family of our deceased brother our sincere condolence in their deep afflictions be sent to the family.
