IN MEMORIAM.

To THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF FRosTBuEG
LODGE, No. $50 AND BROTHER KNIGHTS OF
HONOR:
Again the hand of time has singled from
our midst and summoned to the Supreme
Lodge of the Universe a brother whose MEM
DRY we should ever cherish, whose example
we should emulate.
OUR brother, THOMAS c. PRICE, was the
~ soul Of honor; his word was his bond ;
his counsels were replete with sound iudg-
ment, and, with no murmur from his lips,
laid aside the robe of earthly existence to
obey the summons universal.
While we deeply regret the nntimely de-
parture of our brother our sympathies should
center in those most dear to him and to the
partner of his joys and sorrows.
To the family and relatives, therefore, we
herewith extend our sincere and heartfelt
coincidence, and commend them to bear their
severe atlliction with the fortitude of the
departed.
In conformity with the custom of our
Order we recommend that the charter Of this
Lodge be draped i'll memory of brother
THOMAS G. PRICE for thirty days; d copy Of
this paper spread upon the minutes; a copy
forwarded to the family and one for publica-
ton in the FRoSTBURG MINING Journal.

impulse of the moment after reading S. c..
Dubois sketch of the Bryan family, be-
ginning with George Bryan, one of the heroic
antagonists of the Stamp Act" 1t was the
date Of the Bryan settlement in Culpeppcr
Va. that particularly struck and led me to
jump to an erroneous conclusion.
Particular investigation discloses the fact
that Gov Spottswoods first expedition be-
yond the Blue Ridge took place in the month
between August Il and September 20, 1716
His was merry party of friends, rangers,
Indian guides and servants. When they re-

encourage future expeditions, he gave to each
of his companions a small go'den horseshoe
to be worn as badge, and the members of
the expedition were known afterward as the
Knights of the Golden Horseshoe
How | obtained the idea that the horseshoe
was silver l cannot now explain, and, Of
course, am somewhat chagrined at an error
ofso long standing.
AS you made use of the paragraph I am
very sorry erred, knowing how particular
you are and ought to be in matters historical.
The paragraph over which this
trouble occurs was copied by the
Journal from private letter. 1t was
not intended for publication, of
course, but its fine construction, rather
than any other feature, attracted
notice.
