Unitarian Church of Atlanta – Meeting Minutes, Apr 21, 1907 (Resolution for Brown)

Atlanta, Ga., April 21, 1907

At the morning services of worship held Sunday April 21st at the Church of Our Father (Unitarian) the following expression by the congregation was unaminously passed with a rising vote.

Mr. Ralph H. Brown, one with us in faith and fellowship, a loyal contributor to the support of this church and always deeply interested in the progress, having recently passed away, the congregation of the Church of Our Father herewith records our warm appreciation of his high character as citizen and friend; and to his bereaved mother, wife and family, we send the expression of our deep and tender sympathy, with the earnest prayer that they may be sustained and consoled with Heaven’s best blessing.

The Clerk of the church is instructed to send a copy to the family and city papers and to record the same on the church minutes.
