Charles H. Crandon

Born at Branford, Ontario, half a century ago, but preferred British Columbia, so moved there. He was admitted into Masonry in 1899, in Nelson Lodge No. 23,G.R.B.C., and exalted in April, 1900, in Nelson Chapter No. 123, Grand Registry of Canada, now No.5, G.R.B.C.*. Taking an active interest in Chapter work, he was elected First Principal of Nelson Chapter, in 1904, and Grand Superintendent of Kootenay District No. 18, G.R.C., in 1906. Moving to Saskatoon and taking the same interest in Chapter work, he was made an honorary member of Saskatoon Chapter No. 4. Other branches of Masonry received his attention also. He is a Past Provincial Prior for Saskatchewan in the Knights Templar and is a Life Member of Manitoba Consistory A. & A. S. R.

The transportation business is his occupation, and he has followed this both on land and water for many years. He is now chief clerk in the operating department of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Saskatoon.

Most Ex.Comp. Crandon has a reputation as a ritualist, not only in Capitular Masonry but in all the other branches, with which he is associated. To his energy and zeal the advancement of Capitular Masonry in the Northern part of this Province owes much. The appreciation of his Companions was shown by electing him First Grand Principal of the Grand Chapter of Saskatchewan, RA.M.
