A pretty little story comes from
Providence Forge. where. on last
Sunday, a number OF Richmond Elks
was practically ''marooneds'' and
could not get to Richmond In time to
take part In the annual memorial SER
vices at the Academy of Music
Mindful OF the services which were
to be held IN Richmond, as in every
city in which there Is lodge OF
Elks. In memory OF the departed
brothers. these "marooned" Elks held
their own services.
Brothers Oscar Lehman. who
has sung at many memorial services
In years past: Past Exalted Ruler
Wiley Lawrence, former Inside Guide
Julien Bossieux, and James Anthony,
one OF the most active members Of
the local lodge, conducted the SER
vices. Mr.. Anthony was chosen chap
lain. He read the services, and made
few appropriate remarks. while
Brothers Lawrence and Lehman sang
the ode and several hymns. Mr.. Bois-
sieux made the principle address.
The remainder of the afternoon
was spent in discussing the merits OF
the organization and the good traits
Of the departed brothers. Those who
took part In the impromptu service
returned to Richmond feeling much
better, although they did miss the
regular Lodge Of Sorrow"
