WHEREAS, It has pleased the Almighty Father to remove from our midst our late brother, Michael McBreen; and, Whereas, The intimate relations long held by our deceased brother with the members of this union render it proper that we should place on record our appreciation of his services as a member and his merits as a man; therefore, be it Resolved, By L. U. No. 23, that while we bow with humble submission to the will of the most high, we do not the least mourn for our brother who has been called from his labor to rest: Resolved, That in the death of Michael McBreen, this union loses a brother who was always active and zealous in his work as a brother, ever ready to succor the needy and distressed of the fraternity, prompt to advance the interests of the order devoted to its welfare and prosperity, one who was wise in council and fearless in action, an honest and upright man, whose virtues endeared him not only to his brothers but to all his fellow citizens. Resolved, That a committee from this Union go to Covington, Ky., to attend the body of our deceased brother to the grave, to pay the last honors to his remains; Resolved, That these resolutions be entered upon the minutes of this union, and that a copy of them be sent to the family of our deceased brother.
