TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
Grove Academy, Kenansville, Dec. 31st, 1861
At a meeting called by the students of Grove Academy and organized by
choosing Leonidus STANFORD as Chairman and Edward MARTIN as secretary, the
following resolutions were offered and unanimously adopted.
Whereas it has pleased Almighty God, In the dispensation of His all wise
precedence to remove from our midst our highly esteemed fellow student:
Spious ROCHELLE, therefore,
Resolved, That though we deeply lament and much deplore the death of our
friends; yet we bow with humble submission to the will of God, and meekly
bed the burden which He has placed upon us.
Resolved, That by the death of our schoolmate who was in the bloom of life,
we have been deprived of a noble and honest student and hope that our great
lose is his eternal gain.
Resolved, That we, the students of Grove Academy do sincerely sympathize
with the bereaved parent and friends of the deceased, and that we wear the
usual badge of mourning for thirty days, and that a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the Wilmington Journal for publication.
Leonidus STANFORD, Chairman
Edward MARTIN, Secretary.
