WHEREAS v ° ■ •
On July 2, I960 the Orand Master of the Universe saw fit to summon the soul of Brother E. W. 'Brown to rest in the Lodge Eternal and at 10:30 p.m. he quietly passed to his Heavenly rest. Not only a a tried, trusted and true Mason, but as a man like Christ, he devoted his entire life to the alleviation of the ills and sufferings of those people around him, at all times having the best interest of his patients first and foremost in his heart and mind. He was always ready and willing, regardless of his personal comfort, to go to the relief of someone in trouble. He was spared in this work for 70 years.
AND WHEREAS he was initiated June 18, 1889, passed July 12, 1889 and raised September 3, 1889. He served' as Master of Washington Lodge AF and AM No. 78, from 1894 to 1905. He served as Secretary for 40 years and pras rarely absent from his desk in the Southeast, and then only on account of illness in his family or that of someone else. He filled this position until he became so incapacitated that he could not attend Lodge even with helpTruly a great Mason, a man who loved his Lodge and his Brethren, a splendid Physician, a man very temperate in his habits, a devout Baptist, and a true Virginia gentleman has passed. What more could be said of any man?
THEREFORE we the committee appointed at the last stated communication express ot the# Lodge and each.-' member- thereof sur deepest regrets at the passing of Brother Brown and to the widow we express our deepest sympathy.
