F UND I ' OR THE B ENE i ' IT OF THE W IDOW OF THE LATE W . BRO . J . R . STEBBING , P . G . D ( ENGLAND ) AND D . Prov . G . M . PRESIDENT . —Tha Right Worshipful W . W . B . BEECH , M . P ., Provincial Grand Master .

At a meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge , recently held at Landport , it was unanimously resolved that a Committee be appointed for the purpose of raising a fund , to provide a suitable memorial to our late deeply-lamented Bro .

Stebbing . In pursuance of the foregoing resolution , a meeting was held at Southampton , which was largely attended , when the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : —

" That the Ledges and Chapters of the Province and Freemasons generally be solicited to subscribe to a fund , to be appropriated ? s the Committee shall determine , for the benefit of the W idow of our late lamented Bro . J . R . Stebbing , whose circumstances at the time

of his decease render this appeal absolutely necessary . " " That copies of these resolutions be forwarded to each Lodge and Chapter in the Province , inviting their co-operation , as veil as

that of Brethren and Companions generally , in obtaining subscriptions to the fund . " " That a circular stating the circumstances be also transmitted to all other Lodges and Chapters in England . " The name of the late Bro . J . R . Stebbing is so well known in all Masonic circles that it

seems unnecessary to set forth at length his long and valuable services . For many years he was a constant attendant at Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter , assisting the interests of the

Brethren and Companions . He was Vice-President of the Board of General Purposes in in 1861 , 1862 and 1863 , and also an active membur of the Building Committee of the present Freemasons' Hall , Loudon .

He was rarely absent from the elections in the various Charities , giving his valuable aid to the poor ancl distressed amongst the brethren and their relatives , contributing from his means to the advancement of those charities , in which he had qualified as Vice-Patron of the Boys ' School , Life Governor of the Girls' School , and

Life Governor of the Benevolent Institution ; and it is sincerel y hoped that the Widow of one who was so actively engaged for the benefit of others ( herself a Life-Governor of the Boys ' School ) should be placed in circumstances which will assisther in her present unexpected bereavement .

Subscriptions in aid of this fund may be transmitter ! to the Treasurer , Aldermoor House , near Southampton ; or to his bankers , Messrs . Maddison , Atherly , Hankinson , and Darwin , Southampton . W . HICKMAN , Treasurer . j . E . LE FEUVRE , Secretary ,
