most worthy patron of the National Sec
ton of North America at its next conven-
ton. Mr.. Rodman was born in New

of his life in North Carolina, where his
father had large mining interests. He
was educated in Baltimore preparatory
to entering the u. S. Navy as midship-
man under President Buchanan. When
the war opened Mr.. Rodman, at sixteen
years of age, organized company of in
fAntry and served through the war The
father of Mr. Rodman was at one time
the largest steamboat owner on the
North River. and was proprietor of the
City Foundry and Machine Works. He
served two successive terms in the State
Legislature. When Mr.. Rodman was
called TO the chair as grand patron he
had only been member of the order for
one year, but in that time he
had by his interchangeable zeal
instilled q degree of nope and en-
thusiasm among the members of the
highest honor within the gift of the
grand section. In one year he had per-
sonally organized three sections with an
aggregate membership OF two hundred,
free OF all debt with surplus in the
treasures
The John B. Cough Section, of which
he is the father, and at present worthy
patron, has accum ulated nearly $500 in
two years
Mr.. Rodman is member of the Pres
byterian Church, OF Newtown, Long
Island, and is an earnest and successful
Sunday school teacher. The esteem in
which he is held by his associate grand
officers, rs well as by every officer
and member of the subordinate sections
ia New York and New Jersey, is the best
evidence of his popularity and efficiency
for the exalted position TO which he has
been called as grand patron, and for the
more honorable one TO which he viii
doubtless soon be elected without OPP
