MEMORIAL
From Lucius Paige 's address at the 1850 Feast of St. John, as recorded in Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. X, No. 4, February 1851, Page 106:
In the days of his strengh, he was an intelligent, useful and respected citizen, and a bright and active Masou. As a citizen, his townsmen bestowed on him the most important offices in their gift; the duties of which he faithfully performed As a Mason, having successively ofrciated as Masler of his Lodge, and D. D. G. M. in his District, he was elected S. G. W. in 1833. The close of his day was clouded. After a gradual decay of vigor, both physical and mental, he was prostrated, aboui six years ago, by paralysis. He survived, in a state of helplessness and imbecility, until the fourth day of November last, when he died at the age of sixtythree years. Let us preserve the memory of his virtues, and draw the veil of oblivion over his imperfections.
