BRO . HIS GRACE THE DUKE OE WELLINGTON .
SUDDENLY , at Walmer Castle , on Tuesday , 14 th September , Brother F . M . His Grace the Duke of Wellington , full of age and honours . His long and brilliant career has been arrested by the hand of death , but his name and fame belong to history , and will not cease to be venerated through ages yet to come .
Our noble and illustrious Brother , when colonel of the 33 rd regiment of foot , was initiated a Brother in Lodge 494 , which was then held in the castle of Dangan , county of Meath ; the late Earl of Mornington , the Duke ' s father , being then Master . This Lodge , which at that period was composed of the late Earl of Guildford , Marquis of Wellesley , Earl of Westmeath , Sir John
Sommerville , Bart ., Sir Benjamin Chapman , Bait ., and other eminent individuals , has for many years been in abeyance ; but we believe the Warrant is extant . Our warlike Brother now rests in peace , and when the last trumpet calls him into a new existence , may he find a place in the lod ge of just men made perfect .
