Frank +. DeYoe, High Caief Ru1e,.
High Chief Ruler f. L. DeYoe of
Waterloo, n, Y, was born and reared in
this appropriately town for head
quarters of a cold-water army, December
10, 1918, and is therefore 43 years Of age.
His first temperance work was with the
|. O. G.. r. in 1866. In 1871 he with others
organized division of the Sons of Tenn
perance. His first work for the Rechabite
order was in 1878, when he assisted in
organizing tent of Rechabites which did
good work for fallen men for many
years but finally disbanded but he like
many others who have seen communities
benefited so often by the influences tent
has did not remain satisfied until the
order was again established in his town;
so in 1885 he with a few other faithful
members spread their charter on the
walls of theirte room, where it remains
TO this day. High Chief Ruler DeYoe has
attended the Grand Tent sessions in New
York every year for the past six years.
not missing but one of the twelve sessions
that have been held. In 1887 he was
elected grand deputy ruler of the State
and at the session held in the follow
ing year he was elected to the
highest Office in the gift of the members
Of New York State-Grand Chief Ruler.
He was a delegate to the High Tent from
New York Grand Tent in 1889, that met
in Ballston Spa, New York. He was
there placed at the head of the order in
North America, and, at the High Tent
session in Hagerstown, Md, in 1890, he
was re elected by the largest most en-
thusiastic and harmonious session since
the war Brother DeGoe, since assuming
his high position, has had many knotty
questions to solve, and, acting on the
golden rule, has managed to retain the
respect and esteem of the entire member
ship in rendering his edicts He is honest
and straightforward in all his official acts,
and, when once convinced that certain
action is needed, he is not slow to do it,
and We scribe believes the entire member
ship of the order could not swerve him
from his duty as he saw il. The loss of
his wife last year, the destruction of his
house by fire this year and serious finan-
Cial troubles has deferred HIM from doing
much more than he has done, but the
membership in Washington are thankful
that the order has again been firmly es-
tablished by him, and will sing his
praises evermore.
