Resolutions of Respect

Whereas on the 27th day of January 1900, the Death Messenger entered our midst and summoned hence our dear sister, Mrs. Isolind L. NORMAN, a member of the Ladies’ Aid Society of the M.E. Church, South, Plymouth, N.C. therefore be it resolved

1. That our Society has lost one of its truest and most zealous members who always had the prosperity of the church at heart and who by her cheerful Christian spirit and untiring activity did much to enhance the interests of the cause which we represent.

2. That we extend to the bereaved husband and other loved ones our heartfelt sympathy and devoutly pray for Divine guidance and heavenly comfort to be afforded them in this great affliction.

3. That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the Society; that a copy be sent to the bereaved family, and that a copy be sent to the Raleigh Christian Advocate and to The Roanoke Beacon for publication.
