W.E. Showalter, who had been a member of Salt River Lodge No. 180, Mt. Washington, sixty-five years, and its tiler for sixty-four years, Kentucky Masonry in general and Salt River Lodge in particular lost one of its oldest and most revered members. We feel sure his record of sixty-four years as tiler of his lodge is without parallel in any state in the union--perhaps in the world. He was eighty-seven years old. It was our privilege and good fortune to have known him for many years, and it saddened us immeasurably to learn of his passing, and to his lodge, his bereaved relatives, and friends we extend our sincere sympathy.
