Brother Countryman was born in Jefferson county, New York, December 22, 1829, and died at Hastings, Minn, February 19, and was buried there February 21, 1906, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. Brother Levi Gleason, a retired Methodist minister who went from New York to Minnesota with the Countryman family. Brother Countryman went to Minnesota in 1855, settling on a farm near Hastings, and resided there and in Hastings until his death. Brother Countryman received the three Masonic degrees in Mt. Moriah Lodge No. 35, now defunct, at Hastings, and served that lodge as secretary several years. He was a man of large intelligence and sterling qualities and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. While not active in Masonry he was much interested in the institution and lived to see his sons highly honored by and conferring honor upon that grand organization. He is survived by six sons and three daughters. The sons, who attended the funeral and bore the body to the grave, are: A. D. Countryman, Appleton, Past Grand Master; L. A.
