[NOTE : Time Updated]

Brethren, it is with a deep sense of sorrow that we report the loss of a Brother of Dover Lodge. Brother Bill Yeager, a long-time member of Dover Lodge and a Master Mason for 65 years, passed to the Celestial Lodge above on Friday February 27th. Brother Yeager will be sorely missed, as he was truly a pillar of Dover Lodge.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday March 21st at 4:00pm at Dover Congregational Church.

Solemn strikes the funeral chime,
Notes of our departing time;
As we journey here below.
Through a pilgrimage of woe!

Mortals, now indulge a tear,
For mortality is here!
See how wide her trophies wave
O’er the slumbers of the grave!

Here another guest we bring,
Seraphs of celestial wing,
To our funeral altar come,
Waft this friend and brother home.

Lord of all! Below – above –
Fill our hearts with truth and love;
When dissolves our earthly tie,
Take us to Thy Lodge on high.

Brother Yeager, we’ll miss you. We’ll look forward to meeting again on the Level of the Celestial Lodge above.
