 Brother E. L; Bronson of Waterbury joined the Odd Fellows in 1883. 1atcl he joined Nosahogan lodge. No. 21, by card. Nov. Is. 1892 He was noble grand from July to December, 1897 He joined Ansantawae encampment No 20, July 27. 1893. Was chief pa triarch from Jan. l. 1901, to Jan ,, 1902.

Brother Bronson leaves a widow, one daughter, nan>' relatives and large circle of frienis man and of few words; his judgment was good and his advice safe to fol- low. He will be missed very much by the board of managers. Our Brother E. L. Bronson has gone over only q little in advance.
 Recommendations.
 No. 1. That per capita tax of f5 cents. semi annually. be levied the same as last year.
 No.,2. That the grading, which was not finished this last year, for the want of time and money be completed
 al of he property are very poor. I would recon- mend that the incoming board of man : agers be empowered to build as much new fence as our means will allow. Do not forget, brothers, that 15 cents semi annually only means just trif1e over half cent a week for each brother. and think how much good that will do.
 Let me urge you to visit the home Do not depend upon what someone else tells you. It is yours; look it over and judge for yourselves. No one does too much. See to it that it is not said of you that you did not do enough
