Just as we go to press, we received the sad intelligence over the phone that Fin Workman, a highly respected citizen of Laings, dropped dead while shoeing a horse at his shop at that place.

Resolutions of Respect on the Death of Finley Workman – Hall of Oak Council No. 294 – Jr. O. U. A. M., February 18, 1900
Whereas, Death has again entered our council and taken from our midst our beloved brother, Finley Workman, who departed this life January 3, 1900.
Brother Workman was a member of Laings Council Jr. O. U. A. M. until that Council was united with Oak Council No. 294 Jr. O. U. A. M. and has since been a faithful member of the latter Council until his death.
Oak Council deeply feels the loss it has sustained by the death of Brother Workman. His manly and honest conduct which characterized his intercourse with his fellowmen made him beloved and respected by all.
He was a true husband, an indulgent father, a good citizen, a warm friend, a faithful Christian.
While we deeply regret the loss of our beloved brother we humbly bow to the dictates of our Heavenly Father who doeth all things well. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the charter and flag of the council be draped and the brothers wear the badge of mourning for thirty days in memory of our deceased brother; also, that a copy of these resolutions be furnished the family of the deceased, and that they be spread on the minutes of the council and published in the county papers.
