hand in promoting its welfare. In 1853 he was elected by his 
fellow citizens to discharge the office of Sheriff for the City of 
York, and was subsequently appointed by the Lord Chancellor 
one of the Justices of the Peace for the same City. He was on 
more than one occasion a member of our Council. 
The llev. Greorge Powe, the late Principal of the York 
Training College, during his residence in York was an 
active member of our Society. He had on several occasions 
served on our Council and had taken a very active interest in all 
that concerned it. He had from time to time given various 
Lectures to the Members of the Society which were highly 
appreciated, and at the time of his death he filled the office of 
Honorary Librarian to the Society, and only a short time before 
his death he had taken steps to draw up a scheme for its better 
management and usefulness. Mr. Rowe was for many years 
the acting Secretary of the Yorkshire Architectural Society, 
the transactions of which contain many valuable papers of his 
on Ecclesiological and Antiquarian subjects. Mr. Rowe’s 
death was sudden and unexpected, and his loss will be deeply 
felt in this Society, and amongst a large circle of friends. 
The Rev. R. Daniel for many years discharged the office 
of Head Master of Archbishop Holgate’s School in this city. 
He also on more than one occasion had been a member of our 
Council, and actively concerned himself in its affairs. He died 
at a good old age respected and honored by all with whom 
he had been brought in contact.
