At a regular meeting of Richmond Lodge No. 69, I. O. G. T., held on March 18th, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty Ruler of events to remove from our Lodge by death our worthy Brother, Philander Scott, we feel it due to him to take this method of expressing our sincere regret at the loss we have sustained, and also our high regard for him as a true and faithful member of our Order. Brother Scott enlisted in the 69th Reg't. Ind. Vols., at its organization, and with that Regiment went through the severe ordeals of war to which it was subjected; at the battles of Richmond, Ky., Vicksburg and Arkansas Post, he distinguished hemself as a brave and courageous soldier. A kind friend and a genial comrade, he was universally beloved by his companions, ample proof of which was given by the assiduity and uninterrupted attention with which they watched him in his last sickness, and administered, as far as possible, to his necessities. He died of Typhoid fever, in the hospital, boat, at Young's Point, near Vicksburg, on the 13th of February, and as a testimonial of our appreciation of him, we respectfully submit the following:
Resolved, That in the death of our worthy Brother, Philander Scott, the Lodge has sustained an irreparable loss, the cause of Temperance a faithful and consistent advocate.
Resolved, That by his vacant seat we are reminded of the transitory nature of all earthly enjoyments and associations, and feel the necessity of living up to the high moral obligations of our Order, that we may like him exchange the labors and duties of the Subordinate Lodge for the higher and more enduring joys that await the faithful in the great Lodge room of the Eternal.
Resolved, That a copy of this preamble and resolutions be forwarded to his family, and to the city papers for publication.
