Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address, Commemorative of Their Fraternal Dead of 1860: Delivered Before Halo Lodge, No; 5
Once, twice, thrice, yea, even six times, has the shaft of the insatiate archer stricken down a brother by our side. Again and again were we called upon to suspend our daily labor, and bury our dead. Again and again was impressed upon Our heart and reiterated in our ear, the solemn lesson that from earth we came, and unto earth we must return again.
It is not for those who had lived their three score years and ten - not those whose heads were silvered o'er by age, for whom we are called upon to mourn. It is for the young and middle aged. For those, to whom life Opened with apparently a lengthened vista, and whose future was sparkling and bright with all the rainbow hues of Hope.
