R.E. Jeffrey Schrader Passes

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010
Masonry, and mankind, has lost a truly good man.  I was notified this morning of the unexpected death of Jeffrey Owen Schrader, age 52, of Farmington, WV.
Jeff was a Past Master of :Mannington 31; Triplett Royal Arch Chapter 52, Crusade Commandery 6, and Fort Henry York Rite College 61, among other Masonic bodies.
He was currently serving as Grand Scribe in the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of West Virginia.
He was an underground coal miner operator.  He had been sick several months.
I am proud to have known him as my friend and Masonic brother.
May his soul rest in peace.
