M. T.
BREWER
Men who are benevolent and sympathetic are the
leaders and workers in fraternal societies. Such are the characteristics of
Brother Brewer. During a busy life he has given a great deal of time, labor and
money in promoting benevolent orders. His is emphatically a humanitarian and
Society man. At the Institution of Union 21, A. O. U. W., he was the first P.
M. W.; Grand Foreman in 1879; Grand Master and Supreme Representative in 1880,
and is at present Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Supreme Lodge. He
has been a member of Abou Ben Adhem
Lodge, I. O. O. F., for twenty years, member of the Knights of Pythias, Red Men and several other prominent and popular
benevolent societies and humane organizations. He is a good speaker and debator, (sic) generous, kind-hearted, and seems never so
happy as when he is helping the distressed, visiting the sick, and alleviating
the sufferings of his fellow-men. Providence has fashioned him in a generous
mould, and whether in prosperity or adversity he is always ready to lend a
helping hand to gladden saddened hearts.
