eighteen years he held the important office of Treasurer to the Lodge ; was ever a ready and willing contributor to the Masonic charities ; and on the reorganization of the Provincial Grand Lodge , in 1854 , he received and has since retained the office of Provincial Grand Begistrar . The funeral took place on Tuesday , the 22 nd . From an early hour several tradesmen in the neighbourhood partially closed their establishments , and before noon not an exception remained throughout North-street , and scarcely in the
streets immediately adjoining . It was a spontaneous act , speaking volumes . The funeral cortege , consisting of a hearse , five mourning coaches , and the mayor ' s private carriage , left the residence of the deceased shortly before one o ' clock . On reaching the entrance to the extra-mural cemetery , a most imposing spectacle was afforded by the presence of upwards of 100 Freemasons , who , as previously arranged , took up their positions and preceded the hearse in the following order : — Bro . John Bacon , W . M ., and about twelve members of the new Boyal Brunswick
Lodge . Then came Bro . 0 . Woollven , W . M . of the Royal York Lodge , and about thirty of his Officers and Brethren . Lastly came Bro . G . Lowdeli , W . M . of the Boyal Clarence Lodge ; and with him Captain Dalbiac , who has lately been appointed by the Duke of Richmond as his Deputy Provincial Grand Master , and about sixty of the Clarence Brethren , including the present Officers and many past ones . The recognition of the services of Bro . Foikard , by the presence of the D . Prov . G . M . was greatly appreciated . At a short distance from the chapel the Bev . H . Wyatt , of Trinity Chapel , where the deceased usually attended , who was requested to officiate , commenced the service , assisted by the Bev . J . Image , and the mourners , having alighted , passed up through the Masonic Brethren , all attired in private mourning and ranged on each side , into the chapel . During the reading of the service in the chapel , the Brethren proceeded to the grave and formed themselves into a circle , and thus remained until the conclusion of the service , and the departure of the mourners . It was generally remarked , that the scene presented was of the most impressive nature .
BROTHER ALDERMAN FEICKER
At Boston , on the 22 nd instant , after an illness of only a few days , aged fortysix , Bro . Fricker , P . M ., her Majesty ' s coroner for the Boston district , an alder ^ man of the borough , editor of the Lincolnshire Herald , and one of the P . Ms , o ^ the Lodge of Harmony , No . 339 , and P . Prov . G . S . The Boston Guardian , which was opposed in politics to the deceased Brother , says : — t { We have neither right no desire to speak of the deceased gentleman in his private capacity ; nor do we feel that , even as a public man , this is a fitting time to make an estimate of his character . So far as capacity and energy are Concerned , he was the leading man of the Conservative party in Boston , the head that dictated its policy , and the strong arm that carried that policy out . In his editorial , judicial , and aldermanic duties he was post efficient ; and his personal demeanour to those with whom he was brought into antagonism on public matters , was always urbane and even chivalrous . His political faults were , to a large extent , learned in a school which considered them as virtues , and the high estimation in which he was held by his party is an evidence of the thorough devotion and zeal with which he laboured to advance their interests . But , as lately political opponents , we feel that around a newly opened grave differences should be forgotten , and even the echo of discords
cease : — ' Be to his faults a little blind , Be to his virtues very kind / He had great powers , which he used for the benefit of his friends and party . As a public man his memory will not soon perish , for his friends will remember him with regret for the qualities that distinguished his public career , and his old opponents will remember him for the social qualities which made so many of them his private friends .
