BROTHER CHARLES GODTSCHALK .

THOSE of our readers to whom this popular and energetic brother was so well known will regret to hear of his decease , which took place at the residence of his daughterin-law , Town View , Derwent Road , Lancaster , on the

llfch instant . As charity representative for the Province of Devon Bro . Charles A . Godtschalk did good and substantial work for the Masonic Institutions , and secured for himself the goodwill and esteem of all with whom he was

brought into contact . Some two years back , in consequence of failing health , he felt constrained to relax somewhat in his efforts , and resigned the office he had held so worthily for many years , much to the regret of all active Masons in the Province of Devon . Por some time he had been

suffering from cerebral softening and paralysis , and on the recommendation of his medical man removed from London , wifch the idea that change of air and scene might be

beneficial . This , so far was successful that his brain power was decidedly improved , but his helplessness was painful to contemplate . During the past few weeks , however , he became worse , and lost all consciousness early on Sunday

last , gradually sinking away until the end , just after midnight . The interment took place in the Lancaster Cemetery at noon on Thursday . Bro . Godtschalk was born in March . 1826 , and was therefore sixty years of age .

The usnal monthly meeting of the Committee of Management of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution was held on Wednesday , afc Freemasons' Hall , Bro . Edgar Bowyer

P . G . Std . Bearer in the chair . The minutes having been confirmed , Brother James Terry ( Secretary ) reported the deaths of three male aud one female annuitants . The

Warden ' s report was read , as also was that of the Financial Committee , which was adopted , aud ordered to be entered on the minutes . A widow was granted the half of her deceased husband's annuity for the usual term . Two

petitions from aged brethren were rejected , while three from widows of deceased brethren were accepted , and the names placed on the list for next year ' s election . The usual vote of thanks to the Chairman brought fche proceedings fco a conclusion .
