London . Our late Brother was truly respected by the public and the fraternity , who repaid his great attention and personal kindness by extensive patronage . Under his management the George and Vulture became the " ¦ Freemasons' Tavern of the east end , " and in its number of meetings bid fair to rival "The Tavern" itself . A handsome Lodge-room , built with great care , and fitted up with much taste , was the last Masonic act of Bro . Symonds . He laboured for a long time
under a very severe affliction , from which he in a great measure recovered , but his constitutional powers at length gave way . He has left a widow , children and friends , who sincerely loved him , to mourn his loss . In manners engaging , in disposition amiable , and in charity generous , Bro . Symonds was an example . He had served as Steward for the Aged Masons' Asylum , as Grand Steward , and we believe also for the Girls ' and Boys' School .
