CHICKERING, JONAS d. 1853
From Proceedings, Page V-472:
Whereas the Masonic family have recently been called to mourn over the sudden loss of its late dear Brother, Jonas Chickering, this Grand Lodge feels itself called on to enter on its records some slight memorial of its regard for the departed, and some expression however unavailing, of its sympathies with the survivors.
As the representatives of the Masonic family of this State, we may well lament, in their name, the withdrawal of one, who was in every relation of life, indeed, a workman that needed not to be ashamed, in religion, sincere and devout; in every duty which religion prompts most faithful and true; ever seeming to live to God and to his fellows; in whom the sufferer ever found a friend, and who, we humbly trust, when the earth and sea shall give up their dead, will rise called and fitted for higher exertion, and for undying happiness.
Ordered. That the Chairs of the Presiding Officers, which we owe to his bounty, and that the Organ due in a great degree, to his Kindness, be clothed in mourning, and that the Stewards of this Grand Lodge attend to that duty.
Ordered. That the Recording Grand Secy, send a copy of these votes, with the preamble to the family of Bro. Chickering, and that the same be entered on the records of this Grand Lodge.
