In Memoriam .
— : o ; •¦ - Bro . CHARLES GREENWOOD , P . G . S . B . ENGLAND , D . P . G . M . SURREY , & c .
A PTEE a day of acute suffering the sad intelligence reaches us of the death of the worthy brother whose name heads this notice . This reference to ourselves may seem out of
p lace here , but we are impelled to make it , as Bro . Greenwood—more than any one we know—had given us his sympathy during the trying illness that has afflicted us for the last twelve months . Bro . Charles Greenwood died
on Tuesday , the 28 th September , at tho residence of his son , Dr . Greenwood , 11 Bentinck Terrace , Regent ' s Park . It is only five months hack that we made the
announcement of the death of Mrs . Greenwood , the wife of our beloved brother , and at that time we further informed our readers that Bro . Charles Greenwood ' s state of health was
giving much anxiety to his large circle of friends . However , he rallied somewhat from tho shock which befel him in April , and was enabled to take part in the annual gathering of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Surrey , in
July , when he was formally invested as Deputy Grand Master of the Province . On that occasion , General Brownrigg , the Masonic Chief of the district , paid a high tribute
to the ability and long services of Bro . Greenwood to the Province of Surrey , and felt assured he would do honour to the appointment , as he had to the many which had preceded it .
With respect to Bro . Greenwood ' s Masonic record . He was initiated into Freemasonry in the St . Michael ' s Lodge , No . 211 , on the 11 th February 1851 ; served the office of W . M . in 1855 , and at the time of his death held the office
of Treasurer therein , a post he had filled for upwards of twenty-five years . He became a joining member of the Grove Lodge , Ewell , No . 410 , about three years after his initiation , and filled the chair of that Lodge some five years
later , after which he acted as its Secretary , until 1868 , when he was elected its Treasurer , and this office he held at the time of his death . For many years he received tho
collar of Provincial Grand Secretary of Surrey , and , as we have said , was appointed by General Brownrigg to the high dignity of Deputy Grand Master of that Province on the retirement of Bro . the Rev . C . J . Arnold . He was
exalted into the Holy Royal Arch m Fidelity Chapter , No . 3 , on the 1 st May 1857 ; here he passed through the various offices of the Chapter , and regularly attended its meetings until the time of his wife ' s death . He was also
a member of the Grove and other Chapters . He was made a Kni g ht Templar in the Harcourt Encampment in 1864 , and was one of those who formed the " Arch of Steel " when His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales
"was admited to that degree . He took a foremost part in establishing a new Encampment in London , and in other ways advanced the interest of Knight Templary . He was also a Knight of Malta , and last , though certaiuly not
least , was honoured with the appointment of Grand Sword Bearer in the Craft Grand Lodge of England in 1880 . He was born in May 1822 , so thafc at the time of his death be was in his sixty-fifth year , an age at which he
could ill be spared by his private or Masonic friends , who will lose in him a staunch and zealous companion , one ever read y to devote his time and ability in the service of those who sought ifc . He was blessed with
an especial aptitude for adjusting differences , and whether he was appealed to as a Mason , or as a man of the world , tins power seemed equally effective . He would not exactly smooth away a difference , but so regulate the disturbing
influences as to remove all necessity for further unpleasanr ,-ncp s ; a power this , sometimes lacking even with the most successful " peace makers . " Our pen to-day fails ns when we desire to say more to the memory of our dear friend . n ^ le words of Shakespeare we will simply add : —
His life was gentle ; and tho elements So mix'd in him , that Nature might tt-rud np , And say to all the world , " . THIS AVAS A JUS !"
Our mournful dul y does not , unfortunately , end tin ' s Week when we have recorded the demise of Bro . Greenwood , for tho hand of death has been particularly busy in ° Qf ranks during the last few days . Bro . Joshua Nunn ,
In Memoriam.
P . G . S . B . and President of the Board of Benevolence , died on Wednesday , aud Bro . Dr . J . Pearson Bell P . G . D . D . P . G . M ., and Prov . Grand Superintendent North and East Yorkshire , on Sunday ; we have also to
chronicle the death of Bro . E . C . Mather , a Mason who had long shown an active interest iu the Girls' School and the other Masonic Institutions . To the memory of each and
all of these brethren we desire to offer our tribute , and at the same time express our sincere sympathy with their relatives .
