JAMES WILKS GAYLORD – In December, 1873, James Wilks Gaylord died.  He was a 
member of San Simeon Lodge, which placed on record expressions of appreciation 
of his many virtues, deploring the loss of a beloved brother with feelings of 
sincere regret, softened only by the confident hope that his spirit departed 
from its earthly tabernacle to the mystic lights of the Grand Lodge above, to 
participate in the companionship of those who, having fought the good fight here 
below, are enjoying their reward.  In token of esteem, the lodge was draped in 
mourning for thirty days.
