MEMORIAL

From Proceedings, Page 1942-170:

Brother Kenrick was born in South Orleans, Massachusetts, on October 25, 1857, and died there on Friday, July 3, 1942.

He was educated in the public schools of Orleans and his many and varied interests centered there throughout his long and useful life. He was very active for years, not only in Masonry, but in the civic and business interests of his community.

Brother Kenrick was raised in Pilgrim Lodge of Harwich on April 20, 1888, and served as Senior Deacon in 1889 and 1890 and Senior Warden in 1891 and 1892. He retained his membership there until his death. He became a Charter Member of Universal Lodge in 1918, serving as Senior Warden in 1917,1918 and 1919, as Worshipful Master in 1920 and 1921, and as Chaplain from 1922 until his death, with the exception of but one year.

He served as District Deputy Grand Master of the 32nd Masonic District in 1924 and 1925, by appointment of Most Worshipful Dudley H. Ferrell, and in 1935 was elected Junior Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge. Most Worshipful [http://masonicgenealogy.com/MediaWiki/index.php?title=GMAllen Claude L. Allen in 1935 awarded him the Henry Price Medal, and in 1938 the Veteran's Medal was conferred upon him by direction of Most Worshipful Brother Perry.

He was a member of Sylvester Baxter Chapter, R. A. M., of West Harwich, New Bedford Council, R' & S'M', DeMolay Commandery, K.T., of Boston, and of the Scottish Rite Bodies in Boston. He gave freely of his time to Craft Masonry but never held office in any of the collateral bodies.

Brother Kenrick was never married and spent his entire life in the home in which he was born.

To the Committee on Memorial is left the task of fittingly expressing an appreciation of him and of the varied and valued services that he rendered to Freemasonry and to the community at large.

Funeral services were conducted by Universal Lodge at the Universalist Church in Orleans on Tuesday, JuIy 7, 1942.
