BRO . JOSEPH W . MOUNTAIN . We deeply regret to have to record the death of Bro . Joseph W . Mountain , which took place in July . Bro . Mountain was initiated in the Lodge of Unions , No . 318 , 19 th February , 1844 , of which he became W . Master in 1846 ; he also remained Treasurer of this Lodge to the time of his death . This highly-esteemed Brother also joined the Lodge of
Fortitude and Old Cumberland , No . 12 , June 1844 , and became its W . Master in 1847 . In Royal Arch he was as much respected as in Craft Masonry . He was exalted in the Chapter of Prudence , No . 12 , 19 th May , 1845 , and was Second Principal at the time of his death . He was elected on the Board of General Purposes in June 1846 and 1847 ; on 16 th November , 1849 was presented with a handsome P . M . jewel , together with a silver tea service , * as a testimonial for past services as acting Secretary for six
years of the Emulation Lodge of Instruction , No . 318 . We cannot allow this announcement of the death of Bro . Mountain to pass without attempting to do honour to his memory , for in him Masonry has lost a shining light , and one whose qualifications will not be easily supplied . The indefatigable manner in which he discharged the office of Secretary to the Emulation Lodge of Instruction for six years is so well known to the Craft , that it is unnecessary for us to dwell upon that portion of his
career ; in every circumstance of his life he was loved by all who knew him , and respected by those who had the pleasure ofhis acquaintance . He was a man of intelligence and varied information—the beau ideal of a worthy man in the sense in which every Mason ought to be so .
