Past Sugremo Chancellor Samuel Heed
died at hisliome in Mt. Holly , N. J. , August
13 , of heart failure. His funeral took place
nt the M. E. church August 17.
P. S. C. Reed was barn in Mt. Holly , N.
J..January Si , 1815. 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 Supreme
premo Lodge of the World he was elected
supreme chancellor , and continued such
until 1872.
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 these 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.

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
