The meeting of Mount Holly Lodge, No.
IA. Free and Accepted Masons, on Mon
day evening last, was made notable by
the presence of Stewart Brown, of VIII
mington, Delaware, a member of Franklin
Lodge, of Philadelphia. There was no
one present whom Mr.. Brown could re-
cognize as being member when he paid
his first visit to Mount Holly Lodge forty
nine years ago, all those whom he knew
here at that time being now dead. Another
remarkable coincidence 10 that Mr.. Brown
is the only survivor Of the ten members of
the order who accompanied him at that
time. MIR. Brown enlisted at the out
break of the civil war, and while on
southern battlefields made the acquaint-
ance of several members Of Mount Holly
Lodge, one of them being Captain Samuel
Read, who was father of the order of
Knights of Pythias in thirteen states Of
the Union. Mr.. Browns "reminiscences
were startling in interest and his remarks
were greatly enjoyed. Mr.. Brown was
acquainted with past grand master Josiah
w. Evan, whose presence at the meeting
added to the pleasure of his visit.
