Any member of the Society in good standing may become a Life Member on paying to the Treasurer at one time the sum of fifty dollars; and thereafter such member shall be exempt from further payment of dues.

Any male person of good moral character, who is a native or a descendant of a native of any of the New England States, and who is eighteen years old or more, is eligible.

If in the judgment of the Board of Directors they are in need of it, the widow or children of any deceased member shall receive from the funds of the Society a sum equal to five times the amount such deceased member has paid to the Society.

The friends of a deceased member are requested to give the Historiographer early information of the time and place of his birth and death, with brief incidents of his life, for publication in our annual report. Members who change their addresses should give the Secretary early notice.

It is desirable to have all worthy gentlemen of New England descent residing in Brooklyn become members of the Society. Members are requested to send application of their friends for membership to the Secretary. Address,
