BRO . CHARLES LEE . It is with deep and unfeigned regret that we announce to the Craft the death of Bro . Charles Lee , of Leeds , Grand Superintendent end Deputy Provincial Grand Master of West-Yorkshire . Bro . Lee died on Thursday , the 6 th ult ., aged sixty-two years , and his remains were conducted to their silent home on Tuesday , the 11 th . The funeral was plain and unostentatious , in harmony with the character
of our departed Brother , and was attended by a large number of the Brethren of the Province , who , notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather and other untoward circumstances , assembled from various parts to do honour to the memory of their D . Prov . G . M . The Brethren appeared in plain black cl othes , and black gloves , knowing that their late D . Prov . G . M . had often expressed his decided objection to Masonic demonstrations on such painful occasions . The funeral took place at Adel
Church , about five miles from Leeds . The service was conducted m a most impressive manner by Bro . the Rev . A . F . A . Woodford , M . A ., Prov . G . Chap , of West Yorkshire , and the mortal remains of our esteemed Brother were consigned to the tomb amidst the tears and regrets of sorrowing relatives , Brethren , and friends . Bro . Charles Lee was a member of the Alfred Lodge , No . 384 , Leeds , and of the Fidelity Chapter , No . 364 , Leeds . He became a Mason in the year 1823 , and a
somewhat singular circumstance led to his entrance into the Order . On die 3 rd of April , in that year , he happened to be in Wakefield on business , and saw a Masonic procession going to the parish church of that place ; upon inquiry , he learned that the Earl of Mexborough ( then Lord Viscount Pollington ) was about to be installed as Prov . G . M . of West Yorkshire , and that a sermon was going to be preached to the Brethren on the occasion . From a feeling of curiosity he
followed to the churcn , and listened attentively to the Sermon , which was preached by the late Rev . Dr . Naylor , Grand Chaplain of the Province . The eloquence and force of the preacher had such an effect upon the mind of Bro . Lee , that he at once determined to join the Order , and within two months after that occurrence he was initiated into Freemasonry . Bro . Lee was appointed Prov . Grand Superintendent of West Yorkshire in July , 1854 . He was appointed Deputy Prov .
Grand Master on the 7 th May , 1838 , and the first Prov . Grand Lodge which ho attended in his official capacity , was held at Dobcross , in Saddleworth . It is a somewhat singular coincidence that the last Prov . Grand Lodge he attended was held in July last , at the same place . During his tenure of Office several elegant presents were made to Bro . ! Cec by his Brethren , to mark the high estimation in
which he was held by them , and on one occasion in particular two splendid silver vases were presented to him by the R . W . Prov . Grand Master , on behalf of the Brethren of West Yorkshire , " as a token of their high respect and fraternal regard . " We have now before us an account of the presentation , which took place at Halifax , on the 23 rd October , 1844 , when unwards of 200 Brethren assembled
