Tuesday, j GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I. O. O. F. 15
Nov. 18. 1913. $
VACANCIES FILLED.
Immediately after my installation I received the resignation of
the Hon. J Otis Humphrey, Past Grand Master and Past Grand Repre-
sentative, as a member of the Board of Directors of the Odd Fellows'
Orphans' Home at Lincoln, Illinois.
Brother Humphrey had been a member of this board continuously,
with the exception of one year, from the foundation of the Home, and
to him is due much of the success of the Home. I am quite sure that
the Fraternity at large appreciates his services and thanks him for tbe
same.
I appointed as his successor Gen. James Henry Harris, Major
General commanding the Patriarchs Militant of Illinois for quite a
number of years, General Harris to serve one year, the unexpired term
of Brother J Otis Humphrey.
