Masonic Obituary.
to the principles and practices of Freemasonry , and his strict and unflinching adherence to the rules and orders of the society , that he was never known to be absent from the regular meeting of his Lodge , unless prevented by something of the most urgent nature . It was his constant practice to refuse all invitations which interfered with his JIasonic duties ; a sacrifice in him of no ordinary kind , when it is knoivn how numerous were his friends , how extensive the circle of his acquaintance ,
how much he enjoyed their society , and the kind and respectful manner in which he was always received among them . In his domestic capacity , Brother Lynch supported the character of a good Mason . To the amiable partner of his life , who survives him , he was ever " true and sincere ; " to his children he was at once the father and friend . You knew not which to admire most ; the gentle amiability of the mother , the frank and hospitable friendshi p of the father , or the dutiful submission of their children .
Brother Lynch was many years Deputy Provincial Grand Master for Lancashire , under the late F . D . Astley , Esq . He enjoyed the confidence of the Grand Lodge , and upon several occasions received its thanks for the manner in which he conducted the JIasonic business of the province . Difficult and perplexing as were sometimes the matters he had to investigate , his decisions were always satisfactory . Such was the confidence placed in him by the Fraternity , such the straightforward
integrity of his whole conduct , that even those who were so unfortunate as to deserve his censure , submitted without a murmur . The writer of this poor tribute to the memory of one of the members of his Lodge , feels how unequal he is to do justice to the great JIasonic worth of his departed Brother . Let the fraternity imagine he sits before them , the ruler and governor of his Lodge—mark the mild yet firm benignity of his demeanour , the alacrity with ivhich his orders are obeyed , and the respectful attention of the members—let them inquire who among them had the good word of all , and the ill-will of none ¦ it was Daniel Lynch .
BROTHER RICHARD JOHNSON , S . AV . ofthe Lodge of Fortitude , No . 77 , Manchester , departed this life on the 22 nd of February , 1836 , aged 34 . He was a " man and a JIason" in every sense of the word , and-had he lived , would have been a shining character , as he was completely devoted to the Craft .
