Whereas, It has pleased Divine Providence to call from earth to his realm above the spirit of our beloved brother, Charles J.

Brother Lumpkin was born in Putnam county, Ind.

Since 1880 he has resided at North Salem with the exception of one year's residence in Tennessee.
Resolved, That in the death of Bro. Lumpkin our Lodge has lost a valued member, he church an earnes disciple, his family a loving husband and kind and indulgent father, and our town one of its most energetic business men.
Resolved, That while we sincerely mourn his untimely death, our most heartfelt sympathy goes out to his sorrow stricken family and relatives.
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the records of our Lodge, and a copy is presented to the bereaved family and to each of the county papers.
Fraternally, Co,. - B.F. Davis, T.J. Adams, G.W. Robbins"
