a member , and rely upon him usually as an energetic officer and instructor . His attendance was assiduous , his labours indefatigable , and he will long be remembered as a most zealous propagator

of light in the East . For some time past the health of this esteemed brother has been failing , and of late his accustomed place has often missed his familiar and

welcome presence . At length on Sunday , the 7 th inst ., it pleased the G . A . O . T . U . to call him to his well-earned reward after having trod life ' s chequered pavement for the long period of

72 years , the last 26 of which had been passed in the constant service of the Craft . His remains will be interred at the Tower Hamlets Cemetery ,

Bow , E ., this day , Saturday , 20 th April , 1872 , at 3 p . m . when a numerous assemblege of the brethren may be expected to be present to pay the last sad tribute of respect to departed merit .
