BRO . JOHN UDALL , P . G . D .
Death has , during the last week or two , been sadly busy among the Masonic brotherhood . Several wellknown brethren , of more or less note , have been summoned to their eternal rest : —Among others , Bro . Col . Burlton , P . District G . M . of Bengal ; Bro . Dr .

Bro . Udall was horn at Winchmore Hill , the parish of Edmonton , in the year 1 S 00 , and we find that he was initiated into Masonry on the 7 th February , 1836 , in the Westminster and Keystone Lodge , No 10 , in which lodge he served the office of Master . He was exalted to the Royal Arch on the 19 th January ,
1838 , in the Chapter of Fidelity , 3 , and in due course became its M . E . Z . Bro . Udall ' s Masonic merits were acknowledged and rewarded , at a comparatively early period , hy tbe Grand Master , who appointed him Junior Grand Deacon in April , 1849 , and Second Assistant Grand Sojourner of the Supreme Grand
Chapter iu the following month . Our deceased brother was likewise an active Knight Templar , a Mark Master , and had attained the rank of S . P . R . S . 32 in the Ancient and Accepted Rite . Butit is more especially in connection with the charities of our order , that our brother was more closely identifiedand with

these noble institutions . He was a Vice-President of each and all of them , and that he considered no personal sacrifice too great , whereby he could promote the welfare of these charities , will best be shown by the time and attention he earnestly devoted to their service . His loss will be deeply felt , not only by his Masonic brethrenbut also by a large circle of

of his age . The mortal remains of our departed brother were consigned to the family vault in Edmonton Churchyard on Saturday last . In addition to the relations present , we observed Bros . AV . Young , H . Brown , E . H . PattenB . Head , J . R . SheenG . CoxRaynham
