at Tipton , on Wednesday , the 11 th November , after a lingering and painful illness of some months . Bro . Davies was initiated in the Noah ' s Ark Lodge , No . 435 , Tipton , of which Lodge at the time of his death he was Junior Warden . He was likewise Senior Warden of the Dartmouth Lodge , No . 960 , West Bromwich , and the W . M . elect for the ensuing year ; but his continued
illness prevented his being installed into the chair . He also held the office of Scribe N . in the Vernon Chapter , No . 7 SG , Walsall . A Brother more beloved by the Craft of which he was a member , or a man more highly and deservedly respected , as well by his brethren of the medical profession , as by all wdio knew liini , did not exist . His death has cast a gloom over the Craft which will long be felt , and his " vacant place in the Lodge " will long remind his sorrowing
