In the Templar branch of Masonry

cially interested in Maysville Com
mandery. For many years he was, per-
haps, the most active member OF Mays
vile Commandery and did as much, II
not more than any other of its men,
bers, to help it reach its present high
standard. He took an active interest
always in every movement for the
good of the Commandery, and he will

Maysville will miss him, Maysville
Commandery will miss him but most
of all, he will be missed by those who
knew him best. His life is epitomized
in the following sentiment:
do something for somebody some
where
While Jogging along life's road;
Help someone to carry his burden
And lighter will grow your load;
Do something for somebody striving
To help where the way seems long
And the homeless hearts that languish
Cheer up with little song.
Do something for somebody always.
Whatever may be your creed
There's nothing on earth can help you
So much as a kindly deed"
