I found this ...... and of course because of the name I had to pick this one !!  Smiley

Memorials

There are, within the cemeteries and burial grounds of the UK, many lasting memorials to the efforts of individual Foresters, in their day respected for their contribution to a caring culture. Shown here is the memorial erected at Norwich Cemetery to Bro. T Ballan Stead, Past High Chief Ranger, Editor of the Foresters Miscellany and from 1889 to 1896, Permanent Secretary to the Order. The memorial was paid for by voluntary subscription, his peers wanting to ensure that the memory of a man who had the task of moving the Order on at a time of major social and political change was perpetuated.

A fellow Yorkshireman, John Hepworth, was Leeds District Secretary even before the Ancient Order emerged from the Royal Order in 1834. An influential and much respected personality his is one of the earliest memorials known to have been raised. This was in 1839, his death occurring as he was walking one Saturday evening to attend a Court Meeting. John Hepworth was a man of whom it was said that he ‘never considered any effort too much, nor any sacrifice too great, to be made for the good of the Order, for his generous mind embraced the whole fraternity, and it was his chief study – his principal delight - to be instrumental in any way in promoting the interest and welfare of all or any of his brethren.’
