BBO . HENEY DOWELL ,

Of the Beadon Lodgo ( No . 619 ) and New Wandsworth ( No . l . Oi'l ) We have to announce the death of our much lamented Bro . Henry DowelJ , who died after a long and painful illness , borne with Christian fortitude , on the 2 nd inst ., at the early ago of 31 . Our doceassd brother , though an able exponent of our noble Order , never aspired to

the chair of K . S ., preferring to see it occupied by those who could devote the time necessary to make them worthy representatives of the same , aud for which his lodge has become so well known . To the very last Bro . Dowell continued to be a faitful and . amiable Mason , practising that greatest of all theological virtues—charity . It was a melancholy satisfaction to his family to witness

the respect paid to his memory by those personally acquainted with him—his brother Masons . His surviving family , while mourning their irreparable loss , have cause to be thankful to the Great Architect of the Universe that he was spared to make ample provision for his widow and family . May his soul rest in peace . His remains were interred in the family grave at the London Cemetery , Ilford , on the 9 th inst ., followed by several of the brethren .
