Sunday, 2 July 1911

         One of the most pleasing incidents of
       the meeting* was the appearance of CAPTAIN
       C. D. BLANCHARD, of this city, who has been
       ill for a long time, at yesterday's session.
       CAPTAIN BLANCHARD is one of the oldest Masons
       in Michigan and has always been especially
       active in the chapter. He holds the rank of
       past grand high priest, and is the chapter's
       representative on the board of directors of
       the Masonic home at Alma. It was largely in
       honor of CAPTAIN BLANCHARD that the grand
       chapter decided to meet in Marquette this
       year, and everybody was delighted that he
       was able to be present at yesterday's session.

       Royal Arch Masons, of Michigan.]
