BRO . WILLIAM JOHNSON .
This indefatigable and zealous Mason expired in Carliobstreet , Newcastle-on-Tyne , on the 11 th March , aged fifty years , after a brief illness of seven days . He was initiated into Masonry April 6 th , 1837 , and from that time to the date of his death had been constantly employed in some office or other . He was elected two years successively W . M . of the Borough Lodge , No . 614 , in Gateshead ; and subsequently filled the Master ' s Chair in the Newcastle-on-Tyne Lodge , No . 24 ; and St . Peter ' s Lodge , No . 706 . He was appointed to office in the Provincial Grand Lodge of Northumberland , and attained the rank of Prov . G . J . W . As an Arch Mason he was equally active , being Past Z . in both the Chapters De Sussex
and De Burghi , and Past H . in the Chapter De Swinburne . But Bro . Johnson ' s exertions were not confined to the foregoing degrees : he was a P . E . C . of the Royal Kent Encampment of Knights Templar , and had also taken the R . C . and N . P . U . Degrees of Masonic Knighthood , as well as being a member of the Council of Knights Grand Cross . The funeral took place on the 16 th March , when , notwithstanding the extreme inclemency of the weather , upwards of one hundred
of the Brethren accompanied the remains of our departed Brother to the Westgate Cemetery . As a proof of the high esteem in which Bro . Johnson was held among the Masons of this neighbourhood , it may be stated that the under-mentioned members of the Royal Kent Encampment of Knights Templar , officiated as pallbearers : —Richard Metcalf , D . Prov . G . M . of Northumberland - , William Dalziel , Prov . E . C . of the Enct . and P . Prov . G . S . W . ; William Punshon , P . E . C . of the Enct . and T . Prov . G . J .
