Gray Clarke , Grand Secretary , was initiated in the Benevolent Lodge , late No . 480 , Bombay ( now extinct ) , and was passed to the second degree on the 9 th December , 1841 , in the Bank of England Lodge ( No . 263 ) , on which occasion he became a joining member
of that lodge , and was subsequently raised therein on the 13 th January , 1842 . He continued a member of No . 263 for five years , and on the 13 th February , 1843 , joined tho Corner Stone Lodge , late No . 37 , which was amalgamated with No . 5 in 1844 , and to the united lodge he contributed up to December , 1846 . On the 3 rd January , 1849 , Bro . Clarke joined tho Lodge of
Perseverance ( No . 164 ) , Sidmouth , in which he served the office of W . Master in 1853 , and subscribed to the lodge for eight years to December , 1856 , when he removed to Guernsey and became a member of Doyle ' s Lodge of Fellowship ( No . 84 ) , the precise date being 9 th December . The late G . Secretary was Senior Warden of this lodge at the time of his appointment in succession to the late
Bro . W . H . White , G . S ., in April , 1857 . On his return to London , Bro . Clarke rejoined No . 5 on the llth May , 1857 , and of this lodge , as well as ol the Royal Alpha ( No . 16 ) , which he joined 7 th June , 1858 , he remained a

Clarke was suddenly seized with an attack of paralysis on Monday , the 13 th ult ., when about to attend a meeting of the committee for carrying out the arrangements to celebrate the 25 th anniversary of the Grand Master ' s accession to office , and on being conveyed to his residence never rallied and died on Wednesday , the . 15 th ult , as before stated .
