Fermer SkOWhegan Man HOnOred by
Lodge Men

Last Wednesday evening the mem
bers of Somerville Lodge. No. II
knights of Pythias, at their regular
convention, assisted by members of
Arcadia, No. 113. presented Past Chan
cellor George Simpson, the prelate
of the lodge, with several pieces of
beautiful silyerware in recognition
of the fact that he and his estmable
wife had, together enjoyed the sun
shine and brayed the storms, de-
voted pair. for twenty-five years.
George Simpson and George Lowe
we're married in the State of Maine
November 80. 1895 They have two
children, a son and daughter. The
daughter is the wife of John A. Dan
iels. Jr who is also a member of
Someryille Lodge. They have been
residents of Somerville. in the Winter
Hill section, for the past twelve years.
and are held in the highest esteem
by those who know them.
Past Chancellor Simpson was a char
ter member of Skowhegan Lodge, No.
79 of Skowhegan, Maine, which was
instituted April 81, 1892. The mem
bers of this lodge, recognizing his
sterling worth and ritualistic ability,
at once elected him to office and he
soon rose to the position of chancel-
lor commander. which he filled in a
highly creditable manner.
ON Nav 81 1912, he transferred his
membership to Winter Hill Lodge of
Someryille. and was installed master
Of finance. one OF the most important
Offices in the lodge. in January, 1916
and continued in that position until
the amalgamation of the SOmerville
Lodges which occurred September s.,
1919. At this time he was elected
prelate, which position he has since
filled in a highly commendable man
ner. His rendition of the ritualis-
tic work in the three ranks of the or
der cannot be excclled. His ability
has been recognized by the grand
chancellor of the order in the past,
he having been appointed deputy
grand chancellor over some OF the
best lodges in the State.
At home. in church work, in bust
ness life and in social activities. he
is at all times the eXemplification OF
the highest type of Pythian manhood
and American citizenship.
The presentation was made in an
impressive manner by Past Chancellor

cellor over Somerville Lodge (Som-

She was in the sanitorium for weeks
this fall but had to leave on account
