MEMORIALS

JOHN H. WALES 1798-1843

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. II, No. 11, September, 1843, p. 370:

Died, in Stoughton, on the 25th of July last, Br. John H. Wales, Master of Rising Star Lodge, aged 45. He was a worthy member of our Fraternity and ardently attached to its principles. He discharged the duties of a presiding Master in a manner highly creditable to himself and acceptable to the Lodge. By his punctual attendance at all the communications of the Grand Lodge, he performed a duty too often neglected by others, and has left an example of promptitude worthy of imitation. The last time we saw him, he was at the head of his Lodge in the procession to Bunker Hill, on the 17th of June last On that auspicious day, in the vigor of health, he was with us to exchange congratulations on the bright and cheering prospects every where presented of the returning prosperity of our benevolent Institution. But, "man cometli forth like a flower and is cut down"— and thus, suddenly, in the prime of manhood, was our Brother taken from us. Let us cherish his memory and imitate his virtues. Let us sympathize with his afflicted widow and orphan children in their irreparable loss; and may they and we be consoled in the confident trust that his " immortal spirit has returned to God who gave it."

Our departed Brother, was a member of several other Associations, who attended his funeral, as the last solemn tribute of respect to his memory. The funeral obsequies were performed at the Universalist church in Stoughton, where an appropriate discourse was delivered by the Pastor, Rev. M. B. Ballou.

SIMEON TUCKER 1766-1843

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. II, No. 11, September, 1843, p. 370:

Died, in Canton, Mass., on the 13th of July last, Br. Simeon Tucker, a member of Rising Star Lodge, aged 77.

It is not our intention, at this time, to present an extended obituary notice of Br. Tucker. During a long life he sustained an irreproachable character; and " as he lived respected, so he died regretted." But our object is briefly to speak of his constancy and fidelity to the Institution when assailed by the anti-masonic faction a few years since, in that section of the country. If we honor the patriots of the Revolution, who fought and conquered the enemies of their country in times which "tried men's souls," in like manner ought we to cherish the memories of those veterans of our Order who, faithful to their principles and obligations, defended it against the ruthless assaults of its adversaries. Of this number was our deceased Brother. His residence was in the county of Norfolk, where the first anti-masonic assembly, ever convened in this Commonwealth, was held. The faction speedily assumed a political form. Anti-masonry was carried into the elections. All officers elected in the county of Norfolk were anti-masonic. In several towns, Freemasons were excluded from the jury boxes. In others, threats and intimidations were resorted to, with the view to induce them to renounce the Order. Under such circumstances of peril and difficulty, the subject of this notice, though often assailed, stood firm and inflexible. He lived to see the faction which persecuted him, utterly prostrated, and its leaders covered with infamy and shame. In justice to the other members of Rising Star Lodge, it should be stated, that they all supported their integrity and honor. No traitor was found in their ranks. Opposition from without had no other effect than to cement more closely their union. None "bowed the knee to Baal."

The funeral of Br. Tucker took place at the Unitarian church in Canton, where appropriate religious services were performed by R. W. and Rev. Br. Benjamin Huntoon.
