that Lodge in particular , and the other Lodges in the town generally , he ( Bro . Eccles ) thought it would be only a seemly and a graceful act if they were to open a subscription list , with a view of raising f unda for the erection of a memorial stone over Bro . Eedfern ' s grave . Bro . Eedfern had been connected with that Lodge between 40 and 50 years , for five years he was W . M ., and for many

a long year he was tho Installing Master , and during his connection of nearly half a century with the Lodge thei-e had not been a single present made him in recognition of his valuable services . Seeing that they had not had the pleasure of betokening in a material manner the warmth of their esteem for him during his life , he ( the W . M . ) thought they ought , at leaat , to leave

some mark of their respect for his memory over his grave . ( Hear , hear ) . Bro . Fred . Anderton gave his cordial approbation to the W . M . ' s suggestion , and made some touching allusions to the departed brother , whose son was initiated at last Lodgo meeting .

subscription list be opened , for the purpose of receiving contributions from the brethren in the town generally , for the purpose of erecting a memorial stone over Bro . Eedfern ' s grave . Bro .

discussing a substantial repast , the W . M . gracing the seat of honour . The usual Loyal and Masonic toasts were honoured . Bro . Simpkin gave the toast of the newly raised Bro .
