attendance at his bedside. His aged
father and mother and his wifes pa

willing friend, whom one could trust,
and in whom one had perfect conf
dence. But Brother John has gone on
before, gone to receive his crown, gone
to meet in the Grand Lodge prepared
by the. Great Creator, of which he gave
abundant proof to the aged parents.
