BRO . C . H . MARQUARD . Died , Sept . 18 , Bro . C . H . Marquard , J . W . of the Yarborough Lodge , 812 ( ^ Commercial Road East ) , aged 48 years , leaving , deeply to deplore his loss , a widow and two infant children ( the younger horn but twelve days previously to the death of its parent ) , and a numerous circle of relations and friends . Bro . Marquard was initiated into Freemasonry , in the above Lodge , on the 6 th December ,
1849 ; and being possessed of a mind capable of appreciating all that is excellent , was at once struck with the noble princi ples of the Order , and applied himself studiously to the working of the ceremonies , and especially of the lectures and illustrations on its allegories and symbols . As a reward of his truly Masonic industry , his Brethren were looking with anxious pleasure to an early period for his occupation of the highest office in the Lodge . Bro . Marquard was a good husband , a tender father , a steady friend , a diligent officer in his profession , and a virtuous and upright man : and in commemoration of his
worth , his friends have determined to place a tomb over his grave , by subscription . The lamented Brother was one of those who joined the Metropolitan Police Force at its formation ; on account of his activity and exemplary conduct , he was promoted , in the year 1840 , to the office of Superintendent of the K division , stationed at the eastern end of the metropolis , and in that , as in all his previous appointments in the public service , continued to the
period of his death , to discharge his onerous duties with the . greatest satisfaction to his superiors . Such was the respect entertained for Bro . Marquard ' s memory , that near three hundred of the Police corps , with several Masonic Brethren , attended his remains to their final resting-place , at Stepney church , with a firm and steadfast hope that , as his mind had been steadily and humbly fixed on " that bright morning Star , whose rising brings
peace and salvation to the faithful and obedient of the human race , " he has been removed to the " Grand Lodge above , where the world ' s Great Architect rules and reigns for ever . "
