This circumstance Mr. Scbmidlapp often speaks of and rankait among the most pleasant Incidents of his life. lie emigrated to Indiana In 1S30, and settled in Madison, where be now resides. He was first a member ot the Grand Lodge In 1833, and has .been present and aided with his coulsjI at every meeting of that body since until the convocation ot 1875, which he did not attend on account oi his physical infirmities. Ha la now la feeble health, and his many Masonic friends in Indiana will probaDly never have the pleasure ol meeting him again in the body which was honored by his presence for 38 years. He is a true man, a devoted Mason, and the writer of this, who knows him well, can bear testimony of his fidelity to the principles of an order which he was ao long a bright and shining ornament. It lathe universal wlshof the fraternity in In- ... dianathat Goi may blees Father Scbmidlapp, and make easy and pleasant bis pathway to the Grand Lodge above. PAST DEPUTY GRAND MASTER M. D. MASS0N, of Crawfordavllle, deserves honorable mention la the sketch of Indiana Masonry. Fe -was a valiant soldier of the war of the re- - bullion, acd is no lee distinguished In re ace . than he war in war. ne was, a few. y ars
azo, the candidate of his party lor tte office of secretary of tat, and was afterward elected to congress from bis district. When In oßkial life be was noted for his strong common sense and interlty of purpose. He is still living, and la in vigorous health. QBA5D S ECKET ART MORRIS, one of the best known and most influential secretaries the Grand Lodge of Indiana ever bad, was Austin W. Morris, who died on the 21st day of June, 1851, while filling that office. He was a son ot Morris Morris, and a brother of General Thomas A. Morris, of this city. lie was born in Kentucky, on the 9th day of August, 1304, and was in the prime of life when be died. He waa much in public life, and every position he filled was honored and dignified by his actions. lis lelt his impress upon the city of his
adoption, and to-day his name Is honored and revered by all who knew Indianapolis twenty-flve years ago. Particularly
la his memory dear to his Masonic brethren wbo knew him as grand secretary oi tue highest body of their order, and an active worker in ail ininga appertaining to the good of Masonry. The following article, written by the editor of the Masonic Review, and published shortly alter the death of this distinguished Mason, is so beautifully concieved and ia such a truthful es'.ima'e of bis character that we re produce It Just a it wai written: Wabave known many excellent men In our day. men of rare piety and unlfor n consistent goodness, bat we have known few, if any, wbo combined so many traits ot excellence, so good, no kind, no true, a tne subject ol this notice. We Know blm well; we had known him long, and we loved him. As secretary of the Uraud Lodge of Indian, and as a prominent and leading Mason of that state. we have been familiar with his deportment as a Maaon for t number of years, lie wa. in our eye, the beau Ideal of a freemason. Frank, generous, firm, consistent, on wavering in bis at tachments to tne principles or me order, aeter mined, and consistent In hH efforts is preserve Masonry in its purity, and exhibiting a in own character a living illustration oi wnat i Mason outrnttobe. He taught by example. Few, very few, have passed fiora thla earth who left behind a more stainless reputation than Austin W. Morris. The Grand Lodge of Indiana, in order to testify its appreciation of his service and to commemorate his name, erected to his memory an lmpcsiag monument, and the visitor to-lay will see at Crowu Hill, the beautiful cematery where rest s many ot our friends and loved ones a column upon which is en graved an epitome ot the virtues ot one whom the Masons ot Indiana loved while living and wbote memory they now revere. JAMES F. D. LANIER, the head of the t-m'nent banking house of Winslow, Lanier fe Co., was Grand Secre tary of the Grand Lodge of Indiana, in 1830. At that time he lived at Madison, and was a practicing lawyer. Subsequently be was president of the Malison Branch Bank, and went to Ne lork in IS 13 to start the Dank ing honse which now bears bis name. JCDGB 8UIXIVAN. Among the officers ot the first Grand Lodge of Indiana were Jeremiah Sullivan and Nicholas D. G rover. The first was native of Virginia, and came to Indiana when a young man. lid settled at Madi son. and remained a resident ot that city until bis death, which occurred a lew years ago. lie was aigninea in nis manners aud of the strictest integrity. He was a lawyer by profession and attained great distinction. He was a iudga ol the Supreme Court ot Indiana for many years and, with his associates, Judges Blackford and Dawey, constituted a legal trlumviate, whose decisions were authority wherever tbev were known. He waa the father of General Sullivan, who attained distinction in the war of the rebellion, and the grand father of Thomas L. Sullivan, a promising your g attorney of this city. GENERAL G ROVER, who died at Logansport last summer, was the last member of the first Grand Lodge of this state. He was originally from Madison, where he lived for many years, and was well known In both the southern and northern portions ot Indiana. His lace will te missed in the Grand Ledge Hall where it has been known so long, lie fnrvivedbut a short time, bis friend an l associate in the first Grand Lodge, John B. Rate, of Wabash, who died a few years ago. STEPHEN C. STEVENS, who represented his lodge at the first meet ing of Masons at Corydon, was originally from Vevay, but many years ago removed to Madison. He was a lawyer by profes sion, and at one time was a judge of the Su preme Court of Indiana, tie was active In politics, and a pioneer In the abolitionist movement. In his old age misfortunes overtook him and bis mind became c'oaded. He was an inmate of the Insane Asylum, uer this city, where he died about three years ago. lie is buried in the graveyard there, and bis tomb contains the remains of ore who was a good lawyer, a friend of down trodden humanity, and a zsalous Mason. FRANCIS KINO, wbo held the office of grand secretary, from 1851 to 1S03, a period of fourteen years, will be remembered by many of the readers of this sketch. He was the private secretary of Governor Wright during the time he held that office, and as such came into contact with men from all parts of the state. After Governor Wright weht out of office, Mr. King was elec'.eJ treasurer of the city ot Indianapolis, and served for some time. Sub
sequently ne was eiecied grand secretary ot the Grand Lodge, and continued in office until he died. He was an honest and conscientious man, and his death was much lamented by the citizens of Indianapolis, both Maoonssnd non-Maeons, as well aa by ti e fraternity throughout the state. GRAND TREASURER CHARLES FISHER The present grand treasurer of the Grand Lodge of Indiana is Charles Fisher. No history of Masonry lb this state would be complete without a biography ot this worthy man. It is believed that there is no other member of the fraternity in the United States who has ssen ao mtay years of cont'nuons service as an officer of the order as Mr. Fiber. In all bis official lifa there hai nt ver b.ea a breath of suspicion against bis integrity.' He is a model citizen as well as a model Mason, and his example is worthy of emulation , by all men wbo aspire to be good citizens and good Masons. He was born in Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, on the 26th day of February, 1806, aud came to this city in October, 1834, aud baa resided here continuously ever since. He was nade a mason by Center Lodge on New Year's day, 1836. In 1S40 be was elected secretary of his lodge, and la the present incumbent ol the office, having occupied the place without interruption tor 35 v eara. lie has been recorder ot Indianapolis Chapter of R A. Masons since 1S55, recorder ol Rapier Commandery since ls55, treasurer of the Grand Chapter of Indiana alnos 1SG0, treasurer of the Grand Commandery since 1860. and treasurer of the Grand Council since 1861. In 1833 he whs elected grand secretary of the Grand Lodge ot Indiana and held the office one y tar. In ISIS he was sleeted grand treasurer of the Grand Lodge, and holds the office to-day, having been the custodian ot tbe funds of the Grand Lode for twenty-eight years. In addition to these cilices, on the formation ot tbe Masonic Mutual Benefit Society of Indiana, tn 1870, . Mr. Fisher was elected treasurer of that association and has been annually re elect 1 ever since. As treasurer of this eocltty more than one million or dollars has passtd through his hands. His accounts taje always been - correetly kept, and there ba never been a dollar ot discrepancy between his books and those ot the secretary. Surely tbis is a record ot which any man may be proud, and bis many trienda in Indiana Mtsor.s and sou Mmol w ill be gratified to know tbat bis health is still vitorou, and that bt bids fair to live many yta tt to honor the many responsible offices he hj ably fills. JOHN II. BRAMWELL, the present grand secretary of the Grand Lodge of Indiana, is a native of Jefferson county, Indiara. He was a merchant's clerk tor several yeara In Madiaon, and afterwards went int obusiness on his own account. He was tbe flrt auditor of JtflVrson county, being elected In 1811, and servIcg until ib-13, when he lesigoed and came to
this city to engage .in mercantile pursuits. He was In the employ ot Robert Browning and Browning A Sloan for many years. He was made a Maaon in Marion Lodge in 1850, and ever since baa been an active and zealous worker in the various Masonic bodies or tbe city. He was elected grand secretary ot tbe Grand Lodge in 18G8, and has held tbe office until the present time. He is methodical in his babits, is a fine accountant, and in every
way qualified to fill tbe important position assigned him by his Masonic brethren. A FEATURE OF THE ORDER. THE MASONIC MUTUAL BENEFIT SOCIKTT ITS ORGANIZATION, MISSION AN OFFICERS. During the 21 years, from the completion of the Grand Lolga HaU, till its demolition last summer, all the grand bodies held their meetings in the building. The reports of these years are full of interesting matter. but limited space forbids any extended mention of the events ot this period. One matter ot especial Interest to tbe fraternity deserves notice. Many leading members ot the order had long felt tbat some more complete and effective system should be devised to provide for tbe families of deceased Maions than the ordinary charity of the lodges was able to furnish. As an outgrowth ot this idea THE MASONIC MUTUAL BENEFIT SOCIETY OF INDIANA was formed. This organization has become so interwoven with Masonry in the state as to form a part ot its history. The society was incorporated on the 5:h day of August, 1SC9. The articles of incorporation were signed by John Love. W. W. Wool ien, Charles Fisher, J. O. Martin, Robert N.Todd, P. G.C. Hunt, and Uenry C. Gumn. The object of the society is " to furnish financial aid to the widows, orphans and dependents of deceased members." Its membership is confined to Master Masons of Indiana. It now num bers 'uearly five thousand members. It has already paid ELEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS to the families of two hundred and saventytw decea-ed members. This vast sum of mocey has been distributed between about fifteen hundred widows aud orphans, thus making ample provision for their future support. Tbe average amounts paid to each family have been about $4,200. It is cer tainly one of the grandest charities in tbe world. As a system ot life Insurance tt has proved a great success. It has cost the members leas than one half what they would have bean required to pay tor tbe same atr.ountoi insura nce in any of the regular companies. It is claimed tbat it has saved over two million dollars to th9 circulating medium of the state. It has stood the test of the financial pan! j, and tbe bard times tbat followed it, and is firmly established. Its pUns and system have been copied by tbe Masons and Odd Fallows of many other states. GEN. JOHN LOVK WAS THE FIRST PRESIDENT. He took a deep interest and did efficient service in its organization. Whea the second election of officers took place, General Love was absent in Europe, Intending to remain abroad for several years, and was succeeded by William Wesley WoolleD, wbo still continue? president of tbe society. Tbe follow! nur are tbe officers of the organ izatioo: W. W. Wooden, president; Martin H. Rice, vice president; J. O. Martin, secre tary; Charles Fisher, treasurer; F. S. New comer, medical examiner; P. G. C. Hunt, general agent; II. C. Guffin, attorney. CONCLUSION. We have sketched the history of Masonry in Indiana from tbe first meeting in the wilderness in 1817 to the completion of the "Second Temple" In this city. Tbe "Second Temple" at Jerusalem exceeded the glory of the first, and sent out its builders to other parts of the world to carry tbe leaching and tbe skill of masonry to all lands, so we trust that our second temple will exceed tha glory of tbe first. The taik has been a pleasing one. When this new temple shall roe destroyed by the tooth of time or to give place to one still greater, may tbe historian of another century who shall write the story for oar children's cbil dren be able ti show as great a degree of growth and prosperity a is shown in the past history ot Masonry in our state. May bis record show, as ours does, that the Grand Architect of tbe universe crowns with his blessing the work of the craft.
