"The following preamble and resolutions were adopted by Austin
Lodge No. 12, upon learning -of the death of Brother Orsborn:
Whereas, It having pleased an all-wise God, to whose inscrutable
decrees we bow in meek and humble submission, to call from this
warm and breathing life of time, to that undiscovered mystery,
cold and dark beyond, our worthy and esteemed Brother, ABRA-
HAM H. ORSBORN, of Houston, Harris county; deeply sym-
pathizing with his bereaved family for the irreparable loss they
sustain by his untimely end, -and tenderly feeling the deep wound,
the mandate of Him who giveth and of Him who taketh away, has
inflicted on our hearts and on our Order, in suddenly calling our
worthy and beloved Brother from the scene of his earthly labors to
that Lodge not made with hands, eternal in the heavens,
1st, Be it resolved by this Lodge, That the members of the same
offer their heartfelt condolence to the family of the deceased in
their sore bereavement in this unforseen visitation of Providence
that has removed from their bosom the brother and affectionate
counsellor, and has taken forever from our Order an able and effi-
cient member,-one whose zealous devotion to the interests of the
craft must long be pleasingly remembered.
2d. Resolved, That the members of this Lodge will wear the
appropriate badge of mourning for the space of thirty days, in
token for our high regard for the worthy and esteemed character of
our deceased Brother.
3d. Resolved, That the Secretary of this Lodge forward to the
relatives of the deceased a copy of these resolutions, and also to
Holland Lodge No. 1.
4th. Resolved, That the foreging resolutions be published in the
Texas Democrat.
