In Memory of Departed Brethren

Recently, I had been visiting a local graveyard here in Halifax, as it was the anniversary of the Titanic sinking, and a large number of those who perished on that horrible night are buried here, so as I drove through the Titanic Graveyard in Fairview, I noticed a tombstone in the graveyard, not part of the titanic dead, but elsewhere in the graveyard, it was the resting place of a Brother who layed down his working tools and went to the Grand Lodge Above,
The picture to the left is the tombstone I came across in the Fairview Graveyard, and I don't know what it was about standing by this tombstone but I was so moved.
I decided one day I would visit a graveyard in Halifax which was the resting place of a well known Brother from Nova Scotia, the grave site of Alexander Keith. I managed to locate the resting place of Alexander Keith, and also noticed that in this graveyard, there were MANY departed Brethren here, and I decided at that moment as I saw alot of Masonic tombstones that I would pay my respects to as many departed Brethren from this graveyard and visit as many of their resting places as I could.
I am now on a quest to visit as many Brethren as I can here in Nova Scotia. I brought my Digital Camera with me to the graveyard with me so I can take pictures of these tombstones, and pay my respects to these Departed Brethren.
The picture to the left is the gravesite of Alexander Keith.
For those unfamiliar with Alexander Keith, he was Mayor of Halifax, Nova Scotia, three times, and was a member of the Legislative Council for 30 years.
Alexander Keith was also a prominent member of Freemasonry.
Hon. Alexander Keith
Provincial and District Grand Master
Grand Lodge of England, 1840-69
Provincial Grand Master
Grand Lodge of Scotland 1848-66
Grand Master of Masons in Nova Scotia 1869-73

Alexander Keith died in Halifax in 1873, he is buried at the Camp Hill Cemetary across from the Public Gardens.

This post is dedicated to the memory of all those Departed Brethren who have put down there working tools and passed on to the Grand Lodge Above..

Well Done Good and Faithful Servant

Rest In Peace Brothers....
