"Ashlar Lodge, No. 3
Nanaimo, B.C.
October 17th, 1936. With the Brethren of Ashlar and representatives of all District Lodges I attended the funeral of our beloved R.W. Brother John Frame, who had for so long served Freemasonry in this District. At the request of Wor. Brother John Murdoch I conducted the service at the grave. The Craft is poorer for the passing of this illustrious Brother who so nobly exemplified in and out of the Lodge that he had found the Light in the East. In every contact which R.W. Brother Frame made he demonstrated to the world that he was, in very truth, an upright man and a Mason. He, indeed, has the pass admitting him to the Grand Lodge above.....

We don't have our own photo of RWB Frame's grave but here is a link to another site which does.
R. Wor. Brother John Frame was a member of Ashlar Lodge No. 3 in Nanaimo as well as a Charter member and the first Worshipful Master of Temple Lodge, No. 33 in Duncan.
Here is a brief biographical sketch of R.W. Bro. John Frame taken from various records:
"..........Temple Lodge, U.D. - On the 16th of December [1899] I instituted temple Lodge, U.D. at Duncans. There is every indication of this lodge being a permanent one, being largely composed of farmers of the flourishing Valley of Cowichan, and residents of the Village of Duncans.
The present W.M. is that sterling old Mason, P.M. Bro. John Frame. On several occasions he has been ably assisted by brethren of Ashlar and St. John's Lodges. I visited the lodge on the 9th of June [1900] and saw the M.M. degree conferred, which on the whole was very good, more especially the first and third sections.
I have the greatest pleasure in recommending them to Grand Lodge for a charter.............
All of which is fraternally submitted,
