IN MEMORY OF BRO. JAMES P. YOUNG
Brother Yong
was born Nov. 13th 1829 and departed this life March 8, 1908. He
was married to Miss MARTHA T. BOX April 30th, 1854, who has preceded him
to the gloryland 10 years. To this union were born 7 sons and 3 daughters,
five of whom have already passed over the River.
He was a loving
and tender husband and father, a kind friend and hospitable neighbor, his
home being always a resting place for the weary and especially was his
pastor always welcomed.
Bro. Young was
a devoted member of the Methodist Church from early childhood, and was
for many years one of the pillars of New Hope Church. When his country
was called to arms in defense of all that was true and good, he was among
the first to tender his services, and being commissioned a lieutenant in
Co. F., 26th Ala. Volunteers, rendered acceptable service and made a valiant
soldier.
He was made
a Mason in Old Moscow Lodge on the 14th day of May 1859, and lived a consistent
member till it surrendered its charter in 1873. He became a member
of Sulligent Lodge on the 17 day of May 1902. On the day following
his death as an evidence of the love and respect in which he was held,
his body was laid to rest in New Hope Cemetery by his Masonic brethern
in the presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives who had gathered
to witness the last sad rites.
He believed
in that which was right and fair - in fidelity, in adhering to right and
justice, in rendering to every man his just dues, with charity to all and
special privileges to none, he was the embodiment of all those virtues
essential to a Christian gentleman.
Therefore, be
it resolved that whereas the Grand Master of Heaven and earth, in His allowing
providence has seen fit to remove from our midst our beloved brother, and
whereas we His creatures with reverence humbly bow to our Sovereign's Will
and while we feel that our loss is his eternal gain, yet we have no language
to express our grief at the loss of our dear brother, felling that, as
the years pass, we shall miss him more and more.
Be it further
resolved that Sulligent Lodge tender to the bereaved and stricken family
and especially to those loving daughters who ministered so faithfully to
his wants during his last illness, the sympathy of our hearts. May
God less them and may the angels of mercy camp around and about them -
supply them with grace sufficient for each day.
Resolved further
that a copy of these resolutions be spread on the minutes of the Lodge
and a copy sent to The Lamar Democrat for publication.
