Brother Sir Henry Edwards, Bart., C.B., P. Prov. Grand Master Of West Yorks.
BROTHER SIR HENRY EDWARDS , BART ., C . B ., P . PROV . GRAND MASTER OF WEST YORKS .
TN our last issue reference was briefly made to tho departure from our ranks of one who for a long series of years had filled a hi gh
ancl important sphere in the Masonio Fraternity , a . well as in those positions whioh naturally belong to a country gentleman and landowner . Few men have taken a more active part in public affairs , and the life so usefully spent for , at any rate half a century , has closed amidst universal expressions of regret . Our deceased
brother for more than forty years represented Yorkshire constituencies in the House of Commons , and the result of his labours forms no blank page on the Statute-book of the realm . As Justice of the Peace for his Division of the premier county , as foreman of the Grand Jury at the county assizes , as High Sheriff of Yorkshire , and
in ofcher capacities he was equally assiduous ; whilst be was ever foremost in local and parochial matters , expending his time , money , and influence in the promotion and management of institutions calculated to promote some good and benevolent Object . He was , moreover , the founder of the Second West Yorkshire Yeomanry Cavalry ,
of which he was appointed captaiu in 1843 , and we are told b y those who knew him best how highly his hearty , though costl y , service had endeared him to that fine body of men . Iu all relations of life he was deservedly beloved , and his removal by the hand of Death has left a gap which it will not be easy to fill , We have often had
occasioa to refer to the great and useful part whioh our deceased brother took in the Craft , attending with zeal and discretion to the administration of the business of his Province , whioh comprises no fewer than sixty-nine Lodges . The records published in the pages of the FI -E EMASON ' S CHEO , . ICWS reveal how constant he was in his
attendance , not merely ab the meetings of Prov . Grand Lodge , bufc at many of the gatherings in various parts of the West Riding which came under his immediate surveillance ; and perhaps nowhere will his genial presence be more sorely missed than at the gatherings of tho " mystic tie , " whereat his kindly words of counsel and encourage .
ment so frequently fell on admiring and appreciative ears . Only about eighteen months ago the hon . baronet was compelled , throngh failing health , to resign his appointment as Prov . Grand Master , the first Mason on whom the Graud Master conferred thafc dignity ; and his place has been supplied by the election to thab
high office of Bro . T . W . Tew , of Poutet ' nicfc . The heartiness with which he entered into the duties of his Masonio profession was not less ardent than that which characterised his other positions of responsibility , and won for him the heartfelt and sincere admiration of the whole of the brethren , nofc only in his
Province , but the Craffc in general , amongst whom his name was as " a household word . " Our beloved brother , who had been ailing for some time , passed peacefully away afc his residence , Pye Nest , Halifax , on the 23 rd ultimo , he being then in the seventy-fourth year of his age . Although it appears
to have been his wish , and than of his famil y , thafc the obsequies should take as quiefc and unostentatious a form as possible , it was only natural thafc those by whom he had been so long surrounded , and who had learned to appreciate his high and genuine qualities , shonld manifest a desire to pay a lasfc
tribute of affectionate respect to thoir lost friend , neighbour , and benefactor . Muffled peals wero tolled from the churches ou the morning of the funeral , whilst flags were fl ying at half-mast over all the public and other buildings iu Halifax . All classes of fche community seemed to evince a desire to show some tribute of respect to
ono who bad lived and grown old amongst , them ; and there were not a few amongst those who had experienced the true Masonic maxim he ever practised , that Charity is twice blessed , both to him who gives ancl to him who receives . The procession was marshalled in the town about nine o ' clock , the various contingents taking up
positions on the road leading to Pye Nest , ready to fall into tho places allotted to them . The Loyal Gregorean Society , tbe Halifax and Calder Agricultural Association , the Conservative Associations , the Mayor and Corporation , the Rifle and Artillery Volunteer - ., and the Yeomanry Cavalry , all took part iu tho cortege ; whilst
the brethren ol tho Province , who mustered in gr ^ at force at the Masonic Hall , each wearing a spri g of acacia as a button-hole , formed a conspicuous f .-a'ure in the mournful pageant . As the bier was borne by loving hands from the famil y mansion and placed upon the hearse , the band of the Second West
Yorkshire Rifle Volunteers played the Dead March in Saul , and tho procession moved away in the direction of King Cross , ami . Ist a throng of thousands of sympathetic spectators , who lined the way with heads uncovered for a considerable distance . All thu shops were closed en route , and the windows of private houses bad tho
blinds drawn in token of respect .
