TRIBUTE TO GEORGE W. HILLS MEN,
DRY.
General sorrow is felt on account of
George w. Hills death. Mr. Hill was
well-known and esteemed and beloved
by those who knew him intimately.
A faithful and conscientious Chris
tian. In his death St Andrews par
ish has lost worshipper whose place
was seldom vacant on the Lords day.
A vestryman faithful in the discharge
of his duties and always ready and
glad to do according to his means and
opportunities. For some years the
superintendent as well as teacher in
the Sunday school, the interests of
the Sunday school were especially dear
to him, and he was ever ready to CO.
operate with the rector in all that
had reference to that department of
church work. During his severe sick
ness he has had the sympat thy and
prayers of his numerous friends, and
his immediate relatives, especially his
wife and son and aged parents, have
Ullc tcIluCl Sy HpdClly, III UlllS dlulCUlOu,
of the whole community. We shall
miss him for many were his kindly
deeds by which pleasure was given to
others but our sorrow is the sorrow of
the Christian, which has hope which
looks beyond the darkness and death
to the crest which remaineth for the
people of God," yea, even unto the
light and life Of God s Easter day. NM

MONROE.

HALL OF WASHINGTON LODGE, NO. 10,
F. A. M, MONROE.
The picture accompanying this
sketch is the hall of Washington
Lodge, No. 10, f. & A. NJ, at Monroe.
This lodge was chartered January II,
1871, at Huntington(of which, at that
time, Monroe was part). For about
nine years it's communications were
held at private houses. In the sum-
mer and fall of 1900 the present hall
was built, and dedicated December 80,
1900. This date was fixed SO as to COM
bine the dedication and the celebra-
ton of the Festival of St John at the
same time. The records show that
there was large gathering of the fra
ternity from that and adjacent towns;
that procession was formed, accom-
panied by a band of music, and pro-
ceeded to the meeting house, where
an excellent sermon was preached by
the Rev Brother Ambrose Todd (then
Rector of St Paul's church, Hunting
tom. The brethren then proceeded to
Brother Beardsley's and Wheeler's,
where they bartook of an excellent
dinner(we presume with the usual
trimmings). They then returned to
the Lodge Room, where the dedica-
tion services we're performed. The
lodge continued to flourish until the
Anti-Masonic Craze when, like most of
the Masonic lodges, it commenced to
decline until 1899, when its Charter
was revoked by the Grand Lodge, al
| though the brethren held occasional
meetings until 1874. The lower por-
ton, for most of the time remained va
can't until 1864, when Monroe lodge,
No. SO, was instituted, and the hall
again fitted up for lodge purposes. In
1871 the Charter of Washington lodge,
No. 10, was given them, and that Of
Monroe, No. SO, recalled by the Grand
lodge. 1t is, without doubt, the old
est Masonic hall in the state. From
the Grand Lodge Proceedings. $-@
