Resolutions of Respect
 
Death is abroad in our land, gathering fruits for eternity.  And has visited our church and taken another of our loved ones.  Sister Myrtle Beard.  She was borned Oct. 21, 1893, departed this life Mar. 18, 1913, age 21 years, 4 months, and 26 days.  She professed faith in Christ at thirteen years of age and united with the Missionary Babtist Church at Thompson Creek ever after living the life of a Christian.  Myrtle leaves a father, mother, five sisters, and two brothers and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her death.
 
Resolved, That we bow humbly before him who doeth all things well.  We feel that the church has sustained a great loss.
Resolved, that we deeply sympathize with the family and commend them to the protecting care of a father and in his unfailing love which our sister trusted so implicitly.
Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon our church record, one sent to the family, and one sent to the Dresden Enterprise and Babtist Builder for publication.
