The late Bro . J . S . Eastes , P . G . D .
IT is with profound sorrow we have to record the death of Bro . James Smith Eastes , P . G . D ., who for so many years has filled the honoured position of Deputy Provincial Grand Master of Kent . To the Freemasons of Kent the name of Bro . Eastes was a household word , not merely because he held an exalted
position in the Craft , but because he treated every Mason with true Masonic geniality . To him the tenets of the Order were sacred , and his observance of them was of a deeply conscientious character . Good fellowship and hospitalitywere not with him a mere formal phase of Masonry ; his
idea was to carry them out in practice , and his large number of friends and fellow Masons will long remember how tenaciously be held to these traditions of the Order . It was on March nth , 18 57 , that Bro . Eastes was initiated into the mysteries of Freemasonry in Prince Edwin ' s Lodge ,
No . 125 , Hythe . Coming to Ashford he was one of the founders of the Invicta Lodge , No . 709 , in the same year . From that time up to the present autumn he
THE LATK 11 HO . . 1 . S . KASTKS . regularly attended the lodges of the Invicta , although he attained eminent rank in the higher grades . For instance , he was appointed Deputy Provincial Grand Master of Kent
on July ioth , 18 74 , and continued to act as Earl Amherst ' s Deputy up to the time of his death . Subsequently , in 188 4 , he entered the Grand Lodge as Junior Grand Deacon . Bro . Eastes became a Royal Arch Mason on June 20 th , i 860 , being exalted in the Belvedere Chapter , No . 503 , at
Maidstone , and becoming M . E . Z . in 1867 . In 1877 the Invicta Chapter , No . 709 , was consecrated at Ashford ; Comp . Eastes was one of the founders , and in 1878 succeeded Earl Amherst as First Principal . He was subsequently appointed Grand Sword Bearer ; this was in 188 4 .
In Mark Masonry Bro . Eastes took an interest , being one of the founders of the Invicta Lodge , No . 378 , at Ashford , in 1887 , and being chosen as its first Master . In 1875 he was made Senior Grand Warden . With the Craft , Royal Arch , and Mark Masonry Bro . Eastes was content ; other Degrees
he objected to as being extraneous to Freemasonry . Bro . Eastes was well known for his benevolence , especially in connection with church work . His private gifts were generous , and deserving charitable institutions never appealed to him in vain .
