The Late Bro. J. Daniel Moore, M.D.

THE LATE BRO . J . DANIEL MOORE , M . D .

THE interment ' of Dr . Moore took place on the forenoon of the 17 th inst ., at the Lancaster Cemetery , and notwithstanding the intense coldness of the weather , a large number of Freemasons aud others assembled to pay the last token of respect to their deceased Brother and Companion . The funeral cortege left the residence of the deceased at ten o ' clock , in the following order : —Private gentlemen ;

members of the Morecambe Lodge , Dnke of Lancaster , Fortitude and Rowley Lodges of Freemasons ; directors of the Atheuajum ; and members of the medical profession . Next followed the hearse , the following Masonic brethren officiating as pall bearers : —Bros . Captain Garnett , Captain Sly , H . Longman , Ed . Simpson Bagnall , Hall , John Hatch and Dean . Following the hearse were two

mourning coaches , the first containing the two brothers of the deceased—Mr . J . M . Moore ( Derby ) , and Mr . H . C . Moore ( Lancaster)—as chief mourners , and the second Mr . C . Johnson and Dr . Wilson ( Hornby ) , the deceased's medical advisers : the deceased ' s private oarriage , containing Mr . Hannah and Dr . Reyne ( deceased ' s partner ) , Mr . Starkie ' s , containing that gentleman and the Rev . C . T . Royds ; Mr .

E . B . Dawson ' s and Dr . Howitt's , the latter two being dosed . On reaohing the Grammar School a few of those in the procession left the ranks , bat the bulk preceded the funeral cortSge to the Cemetery . On reaching the mortuary chapel the brethren opened out and stood uncovered whilst the hearse and mourning ooaohes passed through Before the mortal remains of the deceased were carried into the

Chapel , three wreaths—two formed of white camelia and one of acacia—the latter being sent by Mrs . Onion , were placed on the coffin by the brothers of the deceased . The prayers and lesson of the Burial Service were impressively read by the Rev . P . Bartlett and the Rev . W . D . Firth . On these being concluded , the coffin was borne to the grave side , followed by the brethren , where the service was

concluded , the brethren before quitting the grave side cast in the sprigs of acacia which they had worn during the ceremony . The deceased leaves a widow and two children to mourn his loss . We are indebted to a contemporary for the following particulars : —For some months back Dr . Moore , who was forty-six years of age , had shown signs of failing health , but much against the advice of his friends he

continued to attend to his professional duties instead of taking that rest which he stood so much in need of himself . About three months ago , Dr . Moore bad a severe attack of illness , which subsequently developed into a complication of diseases , and from which—although at one time he had sufficiently recovered to be able to take outdoor exercise—he never rallied . For a couple of weeks or so prior to his

death , Dr . Moore was slightly better , but on Friday , 14 th inst ., a relapse set in , and it was evident he could not long survive , his frame being exhausted by the previous sufferings he had undergone . Although Dr . Moore was not a native of the town yet he has been resident here so long as to become identified with it . He first came to Lancaster about 1862 , as assistant medical officer to the Lancaster

County Lunatic Asylum . Subsequently he entered into partnership with Mr . Howitt , surgeon , of Queen-square , and in conjunction with that gentleman carried on a large practice , which since the retirement of the latter , a few years ago , was successfully continued by the deceased . Some few years back Dr . Moore took considerable interest in subjects of Natural History and Science , on which he

frequently lectured , treating the matter in hand with a freshness and vigour which made it at once interesting and instructive . Dr . Moore was for a period of sixteen years honorary secretary of the Lancaster Athenaeum Company , in the management of which he took a very prominent part during the whole of that time . His illness , and subsequent resignation of the office he held , had an important influence in accelerating the decision of the directors to abandon the society ' s

entertainments . He was also surgeon to the Duke of Lancaster ' s Own Yeomanry , an office which he held at the time of his death . For the last fifteen years Dr . Moore devoted considerable time and attention to Masonic matters , and very rapidly , and at the same time very deservedly , attained the front rank amongst the members of that body , and in this district was looked upon as the leader in Masonic thought . His advancement in the Craft was mainly attained by sheer hard work and constant study of Masonic lore .

Some business of a preliminary nature having- been transacted , and two gentlemen initiated into the Order , the ceremony of Installation was proceeded with , the retiring W . M . ably fulfilling the duty of plaoing his Bncoessor , Bro . W . Woodfield Philp , into the

, a large attendance of members of the Lodge , and the following visitors : —W . Poore P . M . 1306 , James Stevens P . M . 1426 , James Garnar P . M . 1622 , G . Bond 704 , H . W . Ruff W . M . 95 , T . W . Skelton P . M . 1056 , H . J . Godden P . M . 21 P . G . S ., G . Whitaker 73 , W .

chair . That brother , after the observance of the customary ceremony proceeded to invest his Officers , the following brethren receiving the respective collars .- —Bros . Johnson Senior Warden , Taffs Junior Warden , Mann Treasurer , Seex Secretary , Horsey Senior Deaoon , G . W . Hook Junior Deacon , Dyer Inner Guard , C . W . Noehmer D . of C , Creighton and Page Stewards , Woodstock Tyler . The installing

Master then gave the addresses , and thus concluded the work of his year of office in most efficient style . On rising for the first time the W . M . said he had a duty to perform—one of the first which usually fell to the lot of a W . M ., and which to him was a most pleasing duty . He was gratified at being called upon to present to the outgoing Master the jewel whioh the brethren had voted for him , and which

they had presented as a mark of their esteem , and in recognition of the able and courteous way in which he had carried on the dutie * appertaining to the chair . The W . M . and brethren only hoped that Bro . Allison would live long to wear it , and that he would be able to look upon it with gratification for many years to come . Bro . Allison suitably returned thanks . He accepted the jewel , and should always

look upon it as a most gratify ing memento of his term of office in the Industry Lodge . The petition of a Brother , who is now , and has been for some time past , in most distressed circumstances , was brought be « fore the Lodge , and , on motion duly made and seconded , the sum of two guineas was presented to him from the Funds of the Lodge , The W . M . then closed the Lodge and the brethren adjourned to re .

freshment , which was served in the Freemasons' Tavern ; The newly installed Master ably fulfilled the duties of president of the festive board , and if we may judge from the boisterous enthusiasm with which the brethren supported him he did so to their entire satisfaction . But at the same time we think that as much regard can be shewn for a W . M . b y the members of a Lodge by

quiet appreciation of his efforts as by the continued exercise of the powerful lungs of the more enthusiastic brethren . To say the least , it is unnecessary in a Masonio Lodge to employ noise to shew pleasure , and however enjoyable it may be to the brethren who make it , it is very unpleasant to the quiet ones , and must be particularly so to the Brother who for the first time finds himself at the head of a Lodge . The toasts of the Queen and

the Prince of Wales having been given and honoured , Bro . Seymour Smith gave his experiences of Lord Mayor ' s Day , and , as usual , his efforts met a most hearty reception . Bro . Allison having assumed the gavel , rose to propose the health of the W . M . He considered this the toast of the evening . It would be almost impossible for him to enumerate the many good qualities possessed by Bro . Philp ; he further felt that the W . M . was so well known to the brethren as

to render such a course unnecessary . He would simply call upon them to drink the toast , and to wish Bro . Philp a successful year of office . The W . M . in reply referred to the time of his initiation , at which he had looked with veneration and awe at the then W . M . He remembered wondering if it would ever be his good fortune to become Master of that or any other Lodge : and to-day , when the honour had

been conferred on him , he looked upon it as the proudest attainment of his life . The next toast was that of the initiates , whioh was proposed from the chair . The Worshipful Master gave the newly admitted brethren a most hearty welcome , as did also the brethren in drinking to the toast . Eaoh of the initiates responded , and then the W . M . proposed the health of the Installing

Master and the Past Masters of the Lodge . They were a most influential body , one and all of them being ever ready to give their time , asssistance , and influence for the Lodge . As regarded the Installing Master , Bro . Allison , the W . M . felt all would agree with him when he said it was impossible to say too mnch in his favour ; he was a Mason heart and soul , and had devoted all his energy during the past year to the duties of the office he had so ably filled . He

especially referred to the services rendered by the Treasurer and Secretary , and concluded by saying that , as all had done good service in the past , so he hoped they would live long to do so in the future . Bro . Allison briefly replied to the toast , and was followed by other of the Past Masters . The W . M . next proposed the toast of the Visitors , to whioh Bros . Gorlden , Cantle , and Stevens replied Other toasts followed in dne order , and the proceedings were in due course brought to a conclusion .
