May they rest in peace, remembered always by their Elks family.
"You have heard the tolling of eleven strokes. This is to remind you that with Elks the hour of eleven has a tender significance. Wherever Elks may roam, whatever their lot in life may be, when this hour tolls upon the dial of night, the great heart of Elkdom swells and throbs."
— The Eleven O'Clock Toast
