BROTHER THOMAS PARKINSON , P . G . D . W . E regret to announce the death of this worthy Brother , who expired on the 12 th of August , at the residence of John Purkis , Esq ., Sturmere Hall , Essex , aged sixty-one . The immediate cause of death was carbuncle , for which an operation was performed , under which our respected brother succumbed . Bro . Parkinson was initiated in the Old Union Lodge , No . 54 , on the 14 th of February , 1838 , and
subsequently passed the chair of the Lodge . He was also a P . Z , of the St . John ' s Chapter , No . 196 . In 1846 , this Brother was appointed J . G . D . in Grand Lodge , and Director of Ceremonies in the Grand Chapter . Bro . Parkinson served the office of Steward at festivals of each of the charities , and in addition to being a Life Governor on each of the four funds , was a regular annual subscriber . He was an active member ofthe committees of the several charities , and few Brethren would be more missed .
BROTHER PHILIP BROADFOOT . It is with deep regret we have to record the death of Bro . Philip Broadfoot , P . M ., and permanent Secretary of the Philanthropic Lodge , No . 124 , King ' s Lynn , which event took place on Monday , the 16 th of August , 1858 , in the seventy-fourth year of his age . Bro . Broadfoot entered Masonry in one of the London Lodges , in or about the year 1810 , and continued as a first class working Mason in London up to the year 1835 , when he removed from the Custom-house of London to that of Lynn , where he continued his usefulness as a working Brother up to his decease ,
and also held the office of Proy . J . G . W . of Norfolk , until the 16 th of July last . His name will doubtless be well remembered by many of the old London Brethren , who , upon his leaving London for Lynn , entertained him in 1885 with a dinner at the George and Yulture Tavern , and presented him with a silver snuff-box bearing a suitable inscription , and containing the sum of £ 115 . The mortal remains of our departed Brother were interred on Thursday , the 19 th inst ., and followed to th ? grave by a number of Brethren of his Lodge , who deeply regret the loss of sd valuable a member—a loss , we regret to say , that cannot be replaced by any Brothel "i Lynn or the neighbourhood .
