WHITING, JOSEPH J. d. 1863
From Proceedings, Page VI-455:
The Grand Master also announced the sudden death of Joseph J. Whiting a highly respectable and beloved member of Aberdour Lodge of Boston. Though not a member of the Grand Lodge, he was so universally esteemed by his Brethren, and was so worthy a mason and citizen, that the Grand Master said he could not feel at liberty to pass over his decease in silence.
WILLIAMS, MARLBOROUGH d. 1888
From Proceedings, Page 1888-69:
Yet another grief must I announce to you. On the evening of Monday, April 30th, Brother Marlborough Williams met with, us in this Temple at the constitution of Winthrop Lodge. On the next evening, Tuesday, he intended to visit his own Lodge, and left his home for that purpose. While on the way he became suddenly ill, and thought it advisable to return home. The symptoms soon became alarming, and he died that evening at nine o'clock.
For more than twenty years the sterling virtues of our friend and Brother, have been well known to me. His death only symbolized his life. Faithful in all his duties to the last moment of his existence, he presents to us a man whom we could honor, who undertook nothing without accepting it as a trust to be fulfilled, and whose life bore constant witness to the presence of those Masonic virtues which make for character, and which our Order aims to inculcate.
