In Memoriam
The Faults of Our Members We Write Upon the Sand; Their Virtues on the Tablets of Love and Memory.
Eleven O'clock Toast
You have heard the tolling of eleven strokes. This is to remind us that with Elks the hour of eleven has a tender significance.
Wherever an Elk may roam, whatever their lot in life may be, when this hour falls upon the dial of night the great heart of Elkdom swells and throbs.
It is the golden hour of recollection, the homecoming of those who wander, the mystic roll call of those who will come no more.
Living or dead, an Elk is never forgotten, never forsaken.
Morning and noon may pass them by, the light of day sink heedlessly in the West, but ere the shadows of midnight shall fall, the chimes of memory will be pealing forth the friendly message..."To Our Absent Members"

Vacant Chair
The clock of their days has stopped, their journey through eternity commenced. We wish them an enjoyable and safe voyage and shall recall their virtues when the dial of night strikes Eleven.
