Word comes from Ontario Lodge

fornia, that Brother /. H. Laws, a
member of Crystal Fount Lodge No.
10 is i'll and under their care. Very
few members of Crystal Fount Lodge

he resided in Milford. When we real
ize that Brother Laws is now SO years
OF age and left Delaware quite a
while ago. it refreshes our memory.

schooners Governor Stockley," "The !
Belle of Dover" and the Three Sis |
