Rev. THOMAS JONES PACKARD.

| NEW AHOMAo OONEo ANhANbs
At meeting of the Representatives Of
the Masonic Bodies held in Rockville on
January %. 1912, the following memorial
was adopted and its publication in the
county papers requested:
There is Reaper whose name is Death.
And with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at a breath,
And the flowers that grow between"
Death has again invaded the ranks of
the Masonic Fraternity of Montgomery
County and removed most esteemed and
beloved Brother. Companion and Sir Knight,
while in the strength of mature manhood,
Rev. Thomas Jones Packard.
AS representatives Of the several Ma
sonic bodies of which he was an hOnored
member, we desire to commemorate his
memory and give expression to the feelings
of sorrow and regret which fill our hearts.
Brother Packard was made Mason in
Montgomery Lodge June 20. 1899. Royal
Arch Mason in Montgomery Chapter June
4, 1900, Royal and Select Master in King
Solomon Council June l6, 1900, and a
Knight of the Temple and Malta in Mont
gomery Commandery January %, 1904.
On April 8, 1908, he was elected Prelate
of the Commandery and continued in that
Office until his death on January 8, 1912.
He was thoroughly devoted to the prin-
ciples of Masonry, and regular attendant
upon our meetings whenever his duties to
his church and to his family would permit.
In his death the Fraternity has lost a
worthy member, whose life and conduct
were such as best expressed the principles
which we endeavor to inculcate and prac-
tice the Church, a true and faithful SER
want. who upheld the banner of the Cross
with unselfish devotion, and the community
in which he lived. just and upright citi-
zen, who was first and foremost in pro-
noting civic righteousness and its general
welfare.
To the family of our deceased Brother
and Companion we tender our sincere and
heartfelt sympathy, recognizing the fact
that Every heart knOweth its own bitter
ness" and to them in their hour of distress
and sorrow all human sympathy must seem
of but little moment yet trusting that the
knowledge of the esteem in which their
beloved dead was held by his associates
may serve in some degree to mitigate their
grief and comfort them in their affiiction.
Having finished his course, he now rests
from his labOrs.
From hence forth blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord; even so saith the
Spirit for they rest from their labors and
their works do follow them"
