   Equitable and Metropolitan life insurance companies, and is a member of

   associations. He is prominently identified with the Masonic fraternity,
   having taken the thirty second degree, is a member of the Odd Fellows,
   the Pittsburgh alumni association of the Jefferson medical college, the
