TOWLER, Thomas A. – Tribute of Respect – Sylva Lodge No. 282, F.&A.M., June 13, 1893 - Whereas, By the directions of the Great Architect of the Universe, our beloved brother Thomas A. Towler has been transformed from our lodge to the celestial lodge above.
Be it resolved, That in the death of Brother Towler this lodge and the craft have sustained a great loss and we shall miss from our meetings and intercourse a brother who for more than thirty years has been an honor to Masonry and who has in his life illustrated and typified the virtues and principles which it is the object of our order to inculcate an advance.
Resolved, That the lodge be draped in mourning for thirty days in memory of our departed brother and that these resolutions be spread on the records of our lodge there to remain as a green sprig pointing to the souls “immortality.”
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished to the family of our late brother and to the county papers for publication. (Signed) J.H. Layman, T.J. Harmon, H.M. Benbrook – Committee
