Resolutions of Respect
Your committee offer the following:
Death has again invaded our lodge and stricken down one of our oldest and most worthy members,Brother Green Woolverton,whose memory we fondly cherish,and to whom we now pay the last tribute of respect, was imagination that we can get, 78 years old, and is perhaps one of the first and one of the oldest members of this lodge.He has been for years a great sufferer,being both blind and a cripple,and had been confined to his home for some time,so his death was not unexpected to us.
Be it resolved that in his death MT. Enterprise Lodge has lost a faithful member,a true Mason and a good brother, and
the country a good citizen, and the children a faithful father. Be it further resolved that this lodge wear mourning the allotted time and that a copy of this be sent to THE NEWS and Henderson Times for publication and that a copy be handed to the bereaved family with whom we most heartly sympathize. His remains were interred in the Shiloh cemetery with Masonic honors Friday, the 31st day of January, 1891.
Humbly submitted, E. L. Ruark, John Isbell,Richard Madden,Committee. Mt. Enterprise, Texas, February 7.
