After an illness of only a few days with influenza, Hugh B. Eidman departed this life this morning about 11 o'clock. Deceased was a prominent businessman of this city, and was associated with his brother, S. O. Eidman, in the automobile business. Funeral arrangements are awaiting word from a sister in Chicago. Besides other relatives he leaves a wife to mourn his death. The Tribune joins the many friends of the bereaved in offering condolence and sympathy. Matagorda County Tribune, Friday, October 25, 1918 RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. To the Worshipful Master and Brothers, Bay City Lodge, 865, A. F. & A. M. Brothers: The undersigned committee appointed to draft resolutions of respect upon the death of our deceased brother, Hugh B. Eidman, beg to submit the following: WHEREAS, on the 23rd day of October, A. D. 1918, at his home in Bay City, Texas, our beloved brother, Hugh B. Eidman, was called by the Supreme Grand Master of the Universe from his labors here below to rest and refreshments in that Celestial Lodge above; AND WHEREAS, by his sudden taking off we are again reminded of that truism, "In the midst of life, we are in death," for though Brother Eidman was strong, was sick only a short time when stricken with the malady which ended his useful and worthy career; AND WHEREAS a seat in our lodge room is left vacant, yet we would point to him as a model whose example is worthy of emulation. Brother Eidman was married to Miss Beulah Nuckols, who with his parents, sisters and brothers, survive him and mourn his loss. Brother Eidman was made a Mason at Bay City, Texas, June 11, 1906. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THIS LODGE, First, that in the death of Brother Eidman this lodge has lost a worthy and loyal member, and his family a devoted husband, and the county and State one of her best citizens. Second, that his lodge tenders to the bereaved family its most sincere condolences in this sad affliction and bereavement and for consolation would point to "Him who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb." Third, that the members of this lodge wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. Fourth, that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this lodge and that a copy he furnished his wife. All of which is respectfully and fraternally submitted. Geo. E. Serrill E. N. Gustafson John F. Perry, Committee Matagorda County Tribune, Friday, November 1, 1918
