NOTES
1). SAMUEL NORTHROP Was first made Worshipful Master under Dispensation by appointment of Grand Master, Charles C. Clark, and he was also the first Master regularly elected, and served us seven years in succession. He was born February 1834, at Wilmington,N.C., and was the son of Past Master Isaac Northrop of St. John s Lodge No. 1 and wife Susan Northrop. Having been brought up under his father in the lumber business he continued to follow it during life, and at one time carried on a very large trade inlumber with the West Indies. Bred up in a family of masons he naturally sought to become associated with them and was initiated in St. John s Lodge, where under his father s teaching, he became deeply interested in the order. On November 3rd,, 1864, hewas made an Entered Apprentice, A Fellow Craft January 4th, 1865, and a Master Mason February 13th, 1865. Having a rich and pleasing voice, like his father, he could give with fine effect the beautiful lectures of the degrees. Brother Northrop was a most charitably disposed man and his religion impelled him to be gentle and unobtrusive, and the experience of life taught him not to make a fierce onslaught upon the faults of others, but to be tolerant towards the weaknesses of human nature. He was kind and generous to a fault with his means. Prominent both in Church and business and deeply interested in the public schools. He for years served on the school committees of the County. He enjoyed the good things of life withoutabuse and loved the humor of social company. The inflection of voice with which many relatives and friends addressed him on the street as Uncle Sam , was a reflex of his own genial nature. In latter days he was still a remarkably active man, and untiltwo years before his death he showed no evidence of weakness. He was stricken with paralysis in the forenoon of October 14th, 1909, and died at 8 30 P.M that evening. Though he has gone from our midst, we still feel his presence when we remember our pleasant association with him in life. Ca not some of you, my Brethren, yet recall the refrain of that melodious voice and even feel that you can hear him say, Remembernow thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh when thou shalt, say, I have no pleasure in the. When I last saw Brother Northrop there was kindness and pleasure in his heart. Source History of Wilmington Lodge, No. 319 by D.W. Bain, Grand Secretary, not dated.
