IN MEMORIAM
Death has come into our constella
tion of Stars and claimed its victim in
the person of our sister. Mrs. Ida
Belie Adams.
We bow in humble submission to the
inscrutable, inevitable and incompre
hensible laws of Him that reigneth
over the hearts and lives of men.
Sister Ida's Star has set,
No more its silver rays will shine:
Though from the great beyond it
doth yet
Illumine your pathway and mine.
In a brighter world where no sor
rows come,
Nor where death reigns supreme;
To shine more gloriously, it has gone
To bask in the brighter rays of our
King.
Therefore lie it Resolved, That the
Eastern Star Lodge of Newark has
lost a faithful member. Our cluster is
void of one of its brightest Stars whose
soft and gentle rays brought enchant
ment to our cluster at its every rising.
She bore her sufferings without a
murmur and died as she had lived,
trusting in Him who is the “Father of
Lights,” and sweetly made her depar
ture, to join that great company of
Stars that never#set, and whose radi
ance and splendor are nevermore ob
scured by the dark night of death,and
across whose face the clouds of sorrow
and disappointment never again pass
to obstruct her luminous rays.
She sweetly filled every'station in
life in which she was thrown, to-wit: a
dutiful and devoted companion, a de
vout Christian, a loyal friend and an
affectionate daughter.
Resolved, further, That a copy of
this memorial be spread upon the min
utes of our Lodge; a copy he furnished
her bereaved husband, R. B. Adams;
a copy delivered to her mother, lilrs.
Martha .1. McAhron; and one to each
of her sisters and brother, Miss Ellen
McAhron, Mrs. Mollie Rodgers and
Wm. L. McAhron.

Lodge of Newark this 11th day of
