death of Ill., Brother Frank H. Bascom, 33o
| of Montpelier, an active member of the Su-
preme Council. Death seemed very near
| us as we were told OF the death of Brother
Bascom. 1t touched us all as the tidings
spread, for few indeed could have been
taken from our midst better known to more
Masons and more constant in his attend
ance on the duties Of the craft. High in
rank in our fraternity, he had found time to
devote to other fellowships, and was particu-
| larly honored among the Odd Fellows.
| Brother Bascom stood so near to us all, and
all were so well acquainted with him, that
it is particularly hard and needless to add
words unto words to recall the memory OF
one whom none of you will soon forget
Peace be to him We will ever remember
him as the kind, liberal Mason and man
good husband and very tender father"
