Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Quarterly Magazine of the Independent Order of Odd-Fellows: Manchester Unity The gentleman whose portrait is presented with this number of the Magazine was born in Hull, Yorkshire, in the year 1808, in which town his boyhood was passed, his father following the the business of a builder and contractor. He afterwards removed to Leeds with his parents, and was there apprenticed to a joiner. It was in Leeds that Mr. Gale became first acquainted with Odd-Fellowship, having been initiated a member of the Order in that town; but subsequently removing to Sheffield he, in November, 1832, joined the Good Intent Lodge there, and filled the various offices of his lodge, and also took a prominent part in assisting to place the Order there upon a solid basis at a period when considerable excitement existed in the Society, in consequence of the oath then administered at initiation, and the many attendant forms and impressive ceremonies used, which the older members of the Order will, with pleasure, doubtless recollect (as, indeed, who, once witnessing them, could forget?) were abolished, and the emblems used in the ceremony destroyed, because of the illegality and consequent danger of administering secret oaths. In Sheffield, Mr. Gale married Miss Ann Twells, daughter of a respectable farmer in Derbyshire; but death separated them early in 1853. In the year 1829 Mr. Gale removed to Liverpool, from which port he made several voyages to America and back, and finally settled down as a joiner and builder, which business he has successfully followed up to the present time, and is highly respected as a tradesman. In the month of October, 1854, Mr. Gale married Miss Charlotte Bowers (his present wife), sister to the late P. Prov. G. M. George Bowers, an active and useful member of the Liverpool District.
