Alexander Lindsay
Board of Public Works
1936 - 19+9
Resolved: That whereas it has pleased Almighty God in his supreme
wisdom to take to himself our fellow Board member, that by his
death, we have lost a long active and conscientious member and who
was always interested in the welfare of the Town.
Resolved: That we deeply sympathize with his wife and family, and
offer these lines in memory of our departed fellow Board member.
110, what are light afflictions here?
They only bring the promise near.
Of brighter things in Heaven at last,
When all these changing scenes are past.
Be ours a faith serene and bright,
Whose eye can pierce the darkest night,
A faith that sweetly works by Love,
And lifts the soul to joys above."
Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family
of our fellow Board member and that a copy be spread upon the
records of the Board of Public Works.
