Ills grandfather and father both were among the most prominent members of the bar of the state , but our de- ceased ¬ brother preferred some mechanical pursuit , ami in lSW-5 : , at Philadelphia , learned the trade of : i bricklayer and after- ward ¬ followed that business in New York and Charleston. In IS 13 Brother Rood was made an Odd Fellow and was grand- master of New Jersey in lt 4" ( t. In 1S4S ho became a Mason. Brother Kcod became : i member of onr order December 12 , 1807 , and , It so happened , was the lirst person to be- come ¬ a Knight in New Jersey , 'lluswasat the institution of Now Jersey lodge , No. 1 , of Cumdcn , of which he was installed as the lirst chancellor commander. Ho w.is subse- quently appointed district deputy , ami on the institution of the grand lodge of New Jersey , March lli , ISliS , composed of seven lodges , was made the first grand chancellor. The grand lodges of Maryland and Delaware were soon after instituted , making live grand Jurisdictions , Pennsylvania , Now Jersey and thii district of Columbia being the other three , while the latter was also the pro- visional ¬ supreme lo J o of the order. Pursu- ant ¬ to a call by the provisional supreme lodge , delegates from the live jurisdictions attended a convention In Philadelphia , May 15, 1S03 , in the hall of the Southwark Hose company. Brother Heed ut this convention was elected onu of the vice-presidents of the temporary organisa- tion ¬ , and subsequently at the organization in- Wuslneton August 11 , ISC' * , of the Su- preme ¬ Lodge of the World he was elected supreme chancellor , and continued such until 187- 2.Brother . Heed's lifo from the time that ho became a Knight of Pythias is so closely In- terwoven ¬ with the history of the order , es- pecially ¬ in its Infancy, and he is so closely identitlcd with several of Its most critical periods of existence that It was almost Im- possible ¬ to deal In biography without refer- ing - largely to history. His services to the order have been simply inestimable , and his noble work will bo ever remembered with gratitude. At the close of IMJ'J grand lodges had been organized in the states of Now York , Virginia , Connecticut , West Virginia , Ohio , California , Kentucky , Nebraska , In- diana ¬ and Massachusetts. Supreme Chan- cellor ¬ Heed organized most of thcso in person , traveling sometimes two and three months at a time. He also Instituted In per- son ¬ the grand lodges of Now Hampshire , Rhode Island , Illinois , Missouri , Iowa , Wis- consin ¬ , Minnesota , Tennessee , North Car- olina ¬ , South Carolina , Georgia and Ontario , and thus had the honor and happi- ness ¬ of witnessing during his term of- oftlco from ISIVS to 1872 , the birth and growth of the order In nearly every state , several of the territories , In Canada and the Sandwich Islands. With only five grand Jurisdictions when ho entered upon his duties as supreme chancellor , ho , by persist- ent ¬ work , turned over to his successor , after only four years' work , twenty-eight grand Jurisdictions with a membership of 78,297 , Ills who ! , heart was in bis work , and when duty called , whether by day or night , he was ever ready to answer cheerfully. Brother Head's strong , tlrin. hand did much to pre- serve ¬ the order , especially in the stormy times when itn disruption was threatened by the "conclaves" formed in the District of Columbia , Maryland , New Jersey and Penn ¬ sylvania. Brother Head was always on attendant at- tne supreme lodge sessions and those of the New Jersey grand lodire , whenever the in- lirmities - of advancing age would permit his traveling. His long and smccesslul career , his social qualities and conversational abili- ties ¬ always made his presence welcome whenever ho appeared among the brothers , and they always looked up to the venerable man with love , honor and deep respect.

Mallett , eminent commander ; To the Masonic Knights .Templar of the United States : In the presence of the pest- ilence ¬ now sweeping the city of Jacksonville , its seems eminently lilting that the order of- Knigtits Templar , as such , should dispense to the destitute and striken that charity which has over been one of Its fundamental principles. It Is the Intent of the command- cry hero to establish a hospital , the equip- ment and maintenance of which shall bo di- rectly ¬ under the auspices of the Knights Templars of the United States , for the recep tion of the destitute and sick of all classes and creeds , Will the eminent commanders of every commamlcry receive donations and forwaro the sumo to Samuel Briggs , Cleve- land ¬ , O. ; James l { .

ceased¬

brother preferred some mechanicalpursuit , ami in lSW-5: , at Philadelphia ,

learned the trade of : i bricklayer and after-ward

¬

followed that business in NewYork and Charleston. In IS 13 Brother Roodwas made an Odd Fellow and was grand-master of New Jersey in lt 4" ( t. In 1S4S hobecame a Mason. Brother Kcod became :imember of onr order December 12 , 1807 , and ,

It so happened , was the lirst person to be-

come¬

a Knight in New Jersey , 'lluswasatthe institution of Now Jersey lodge , No. 1 ,of Cumdcn , of which he was installed as thelirst chancellor commander. Ho w.is subse-quently appointed district deputy , ami on theinstitution of the grand lodge of New Jersey ,March lli , ISliS , composed of seven lodges ,

was made the first grand chancellor. Thegrand lodges of Maryland and Delawarewere soon after instituted , making live grandJurisdictions , Pennsylvania , Now Jersey andthii district of Columbia being the otherthree , while the latter was also the pro-visional

¬

supreme lo J o of the order. Pursu-ant

¬

to a call by the provisional supremelodge , delegates from the live jurisdictionsattended a convention In Philadelphia , May15, 1S03 , in the hall of the SouthwarkHose company. Brother Heed ut thisconvention was elected onu of thevice-presidents of the temporary organisa-tion

, and subsequently at the organization in-

Wuslneton August 11 , ISC' * , of the Su-preme

¬

Lodge of the World he was electedsupreme chancellor , and continued suchuntil 187-

2.Brother.

Heed's lifo from the time that hobecame a Knight of Pythias is so closely In-

terwoven¬

with the history of the order , es-pecially

¬

in its Infancy , and he is so closelyidentitlcd with several of Its most criticalperiods of existence that It was almost Im-

possible¬

to deal In biography without refer-ing

-largely to history. His services to the

order have been simply inestimable , and hisnoble work will bo ever remembered withgratitude. At the close of IMJ'J grand lodgeshad been organized in the states of NowYork , Virginia , Connecticut , West Virginia ,

Ohio , California , Kentucky , Nebraska , In-diana

¬

and Massachusetts. Supreme Chan-cellor

¬

Heed organized most of thcso inperson , traveling sometimes two and threemonths at a time. He also Instituted In per-son

¬

the grand lodges of Now Hampshire ,Rhode Island , Illinois , Missouri , Iowa , Wis-consin

¬

, Minnesota , Tennessee , North Car-olina

¬

, South Carolina , Georgia and Ontario ,and thus had the honor and happi-ness

¬

of witnessing during his term of-oftlco from ISIVS to 1872 , the birthand growth of the order In nearly everystate , several of the territories , In Canadaand the Sandwich Islands. With only fivegrand Jurisdictions when ho entered upon hisduties as supreme chancellor , ho , by persist-ent

¬

work , turned over to his successor , afteronly four years' work , twenty-eight grandJurisdictions with a membership of 78,297 ,

Ills who ! , heart was in bis work , and when

duty called , whether by day or night , he wasever ready to answer cheerfully. BrotherHead's strong , tlrin. hand did much to pre-serve

¬

the order , especially in the stormytimes when itn disruption was threatened bythe "conclaves" formed in the District ofColumbia , Maryland , New Jersey and Penn ¬

sylvania.Brother Head was always on attendant at-

tne supreme lodge sessions and those of theNew Jersey grand lodire , whenever the in-

lirmities-

of advancing age would permit histraveling. His long and smccesslul career ,his social qualities and conversational abili-ties

¬

always made his presence welcomewhenever ho appeared among the brothers ,

and they always looked up to the venerableman with love , honor and deep respect.
