was regularly advanced in line and in June of 1918, was elected and installed to the exalted position
of Most Worshipful Grand Master.
The Supreme Grand Master, Creator of Light, Life and Knowledge saw fit in His great wisdom to
grant to our Most Worshipful Brother a long and useful life, calling him from labor on November
28, 1950. He lived to the advanced age of 82 years, always contented to obey his God, to cherish
the circle of his family, to serve his community and to labor with his fellow man. Quiet in nature,
lovable in character and understanding in judgment, he was honored and respected as a man of
sterling qualities by his many friends and brethren.
