From Proceedings, Page 1908-220:

GEORGE JULIAN TUFTS was born Oct. 26, 1852, at Eden, Me., and died suddenly in Chelmsford, Mass., Dec. 13, 1908.

In his youth he resided in South Boston, where he attended the public schools. He afterward attended Tufts College, graduating in the class of 1874, and then went to Boston University, where he obtained the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1877. Subsequently he entered upon the practice of law in the city of Boston.

Brother Tufts received the Masonic degrees in Zetland Lodge of Boston, in 1892, and was its Worshipful Master in 1904 and 1905. He was elected Secretary of Zetland Lodge in 1905 and served three years. He was appointed District Deputy Grand Master of the Second Masonic District in 1905 and served in 1906 and 1907.

Brother Tufts was present at the Annual Meeting of Zetland Lodge, apparently in the best of health; but on the following Sunday, while walking along the highway in Bedford, he was suddenty stricken and died immediately.

Brother Tufts was an earnest, workful and beloved member of our Fraternity who lived universally respected and died universally regretted.
