GL Annual talk given by GLMW C W Nash 1869
Since our last meeting death has been in our midst, and it becomes my painful duty to announce to you, tbe decease of Hon. Moses Sherburne, Past Grand Master of this State. He died at his residence. at Orono, in
the county of Sherburne, on Sunday, 29 March 1868.
He was discharging his duties, at a term of court, a short distance from Orono,. when he contracted a serious cold, which prostrated him by illness, He was removed to his home, where the best medical attention was procured and the most tender care and attention given, but all proved unavailing. He died in full possession of all his faculties.
Bro. Sherburne was a native of the State of Maine, and was a member of the legal profession: and had occupied high judicial positions. In 1853 he was appointed by President Pierse, one of the Territorial Judges of Minnesota, which position he occupied until 1857, when his term of office expired. He continues to live in St Paul until last autumn (of 1867), when he removed to Orono.
He was distinguished as a lawyer of great ability, and highly respected as a man of integrity and honor.
Bro. Sherburne was a Mason of eminent standing in the Order. He was made a Mason in the State of Maine and was Master of a lodge in that State and at the time of his death was a member of the Ancient Landmark
Lodge No. 5, in this city.
In 1855 he was elected Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Minnesota, being the second Grand Master of this jurisdiction and discharged the duties of this position with great credit to himself and honor to the Craft.
He was kind and affectionate in his disposition and was proverbial for his goodness of heart--his genial and courteous bearing in society made him greatly beloved by all who knew him.
The funeral services were largely attended by the fraternity and citizens of St Paul on 2 April 1868 at Oakland Cemetery, where his remains were brought for internment. There were in attendance brethren from seventeen different sub- ordinate lodges of the State. which had come together at the request of GLMW C. W. Nash. who went on to say; Brethren, these departures, one by one, speak in trumpet tongues to us and should forcibly remind us of our mortality and the necessity of being prepared to bid adieu to all sublunary things, to enter the Grand Lodge above;
" THAT HOUSE NOT MADE WITH HANDS, ETERNAL IN THE HEAVENS. "
This Was the first death of any of the Grand or Past Grand Officers of this State.
