The death of one bolding so high and

important a position in Freemasonry , must , under any circumstances , create a deep emotion in the breasts of those over whom he ruled ; but the late Prov . G .

Masonic career of nearly half a century , whether as a private member of the Order or as a ruler in the Craft in his high official positions as D . Prov . G . M . and Prov . G . M . of Leicestershire , which offices he had successively held during a period of twenty-three years , his chief anxiety seemed to be that of doing goodof alleviating the sorrows and of increasing the enjoyments of all with whom he came in contact . The Masonic Fraternity of this province must long deplore their irreparable loss . They beg respectfully to offer their heartfelt condolence and sympathy to the family of the departed , and to express their earnest prayer that the G . A . O . T . U . will bless and protect them .
