MEMORIAL

FROM PROCEEDINGS, 1923

From Proceedings, Page 1923-147:

Hampden Lodge, and Masonry in and about Springfield, suffered a second severe loss in the passing, on April 4, 1923, of the venerable and beloved Edmund P. Kendrick. R.'W. Bro.

He was the senior Iiving Past Master of Hampden Lodge, Past District Deputy Grand Master for the old Sixteenth District, and Junior Grand Warden in 1903. He rose to eminence in the Scottish Rite, attaining the Honorary Thirty-third degree in 1894.

Lawyer, legislator, trusted public servant, and loyal churchman, he made a host of friends as he filled his long life with noble and self-sacrificing service. We mourn him today as one of the tried and faithful elder Brethren to whom we have looked for light and leading.
