Province of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight .

FUND FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE WIDOW OF THE LATE W . BRO . R . STEBBING , P-G . D ( ENGLAND ) AND D . Prov . G . M . PRESIDENT . —The Bight Worshipful W . W . B . BEECH , M . P ., Provincial Grand Master .

At a meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge , recently held at Landport , it was unanimously resolved that a Committee be appointed for the purpose of raising a fund , to provide a suitable memorial to our late deeply-lamented Bro . Stebbing .

In pursuance of the foregoing resolutions meeting was held at Southampton , which was largely attended , when the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : — "That the Ledges and Chapters of the Province and Freemasons generally be solicited

to subscribe to a fund , to be appropriated ? s the Committee shall determine , for the benefit of the Widow of our late lamented Bro . J . R . Stebbing , whose circumstances at the time of his decease render this appeal absolutely necessary . "

• " That copies of these resolutions be forwarded to each Lodge and Chapter in the Province , inviting their co-operation , as well as that of Brethren and Companions generally , in obtaining subscriptions to the fund . " " That a circular stating the circumstances

be also transmitted to all other Lodges and Chapters in England . " The name of the late Bro . J . R . Stebbing is so well known in all Masonic circles that it seems unnecessary to set forth at length his long and valuable services . For many years he

was a constant attendant at Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter , assisting the interests of the Brethren and Companions . He was Vice-President of the Board of General Purposes in in J 86 I , 1862 and 1863 , and also an active member of the Building Committee of the present

Freemasons' Hall , London . He was rarely absent from the elections in the various Charities , giving his valuable aid to the poor and distressed amongst the brethren and their relatives , contributing from his means to the advancement of those charities , in which he had qualified as Vice-Patron of the Boys '

School , Life Governor of the Girls' School , and Life Governor of the Benevolent Institution ; and it is sincerely hoped that the Widow of on » who was so actively engaged for the benefit of others ( herself a Life-Governor ot the Boys ' School ) should be placed in circumstances which will assist her in her present unexpected bereavement .

Subscriptions in aid of this fund may be transmitted to the Treasurer , Aldermoor House , near Southampton ; or to his bankers , Messrs . Maddison , Atherly , Hankinson , and Darwin , Southampton . vV . HICKMAN , Treasurer . J . . LE F ' EUVRE , Secretary .
