The roll of the workman has been called and, one Master Mason, Most Worshipful Brother Kenneth A. Elliott, 33°, PGM, has not answered to his name. He has laid down the working tools of life and with them has left that mortal part for which he no longer has use. His labors here below have taught him to divest his heart and conscience of the vice and superfluity of life, thereby fitting his mind as a living stone for that spiritual building, that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Strengthened in his labors here by faith in God, and confident of expectation of immortality, he has been granted admission to the Celestial Lodge above. His Brethren mourn the passing of a great man and Mason. Brother Ken is survived by his wife Margaret. A memorial service is pending for the Spring and information will be shared as soon as the family has a chance to make the arrangements.
