Only a few weeks before his death, however, he exercised in writing his kindly interest in his Brethren of the Grand Lodge and his regret that he could not expect to meet with them again.

His funeral was at the Arlington Street Church, in Boston, on the Saturday following his death, and was attended by the few who remain of those who knew him in the days when his presence was familiar in the gatherings of the Craft.
