Death has entered our ranks, and again

yesterday Bro David Charles Henry

curtesies Of social life and responding
most frankly and heartily to the greetings
OF his brethren and many friends. Today
he is not here; he has left US, never again
to receive our greetings nor give or
receive the warm pressure of the hand,
or mix with our assemblies. His chair
will be vacant forever. He Will never
again respond, as was his wont, most
cordially and generously to the calls of
charity, and to sympathize with the
berieyed and afflicted. He was Mason
and a gentleman, and has left with US
the unperishable memory o. his many
excellsnciss, his many virtues and his
many noble traits of character. We
Z rurrn biz departure but rejoice over the
rsc..rd that remains. Therefore, be 1t
Resoired, That It is with pleasure that
We record our high estimation of the
soeia! and private life OF Bro. Rothschild,
and point with pride TO his character as
a brother, as a citizen, Is a husband and
as d father.
Resolved, That in the death OF Bro.
Roth, child thia Lodge has suffered the
loss OF an active. jealous member, and
our fraternity an honest and upright
Mason.
Resoiued, That We most earnestly sym
pathize with bis bereaved family in this
the dari, hour OF their great affection
Fraternally submitted.
