BRO . CHARLES BOARDMAN . This worthy Brother , W . M . 432 , and member of 336 and 481 , Blackburn , expired awfully suddenly on Friday evening , 7 th March . The lamented ^ gentleman was held in universal esteem in Blackburn ( his native town )^ and his unexpected and untimely death cast a deep mental gloom wherever the mournful intelligence was carried . He died in the full vigour of manhood , and in the

midst of his usefulness , both public and private , at the early age of thirtytwo . He was a member of the Town Council , and had been so since the incorporation of the borough : several beneficial reforms and improvements , and matters of refinement and taste , were furthered by him . The last act of his life was his assisting in the inauguration of a monumental pillar , of enduring granite , to the memory of his preceptor ( the late Mr . Atkinson , head master of Queen Elizabeth ' s

Eree Grammar School , Blackburn ) , which he was mainly instrumental in erecting . Eor some years he had taken great interest in the resuscitation of the Grammar School ( of which he was lately elected one of the governors , in token of the appreciation of his efforts in the good cause ) , and during the last few months he had the happiness to see the accomplishment of his wishes , and tho euhool once more a benefit to the town . - The deceased gentleman was possessed of scholarly attainments , and elegant and refined tastes . His amiable disposition

won the love of all who knew him , and of him it might truly be said , "he had many friends , and but few ( if any ) enemies . " Plitherto we have spoken of him as a man , but from what we have said , our Masonic readers will know that such a man must have been a " worthy Mason ; " and such he indeed was , always ready to work out the principles of the Craft . He excelled in " that

most excellent gift of charity ; his ambition was that Masonry and his own Lodges , particularly that of which he was W . M . ( 432 ) , should prosper , and during the time he governed that Lodge he had the satisfaction to see it rise from adversity to prosperity , especially in its working . Here , too , his lofty and aspiring spirit led on needful reforms , which have secured to him and the Lodge the honour of praise and encomia from influential quarters . To the last he

attended to the interests of his Lodge—the Monday preceding his death he presided at a meeting of the officers of the Lodge on important business , with his usual high ability . On the 11 th inst . his remains were interred in St . Peter ' s Churchyard , without pride or pageantry . The corpse was borne to its last earthly home by a number of his workmen , and the funeral cortege , in addition to the chief mourners , consisted of the deceased ' s fellow-pupils and friends , and the master and scholars of the Grammar School .
