New Request Forms for Masonic Last Rites       (As published in the January Bulletin)             

Recently we have had services for our departed Brethren who were also members of Scottish Rite.  Unfortunately, there was no request from the families of these brothers to have a Scottish Rite Service.  As a reminder to you & your family, please let your family members know if you desire to have any services in addition to the Masonic service by the Lodge.  New request forms are available and can be obtained by Clicking Here or by contacting your Lodge Secretary or visiting the Grand Lodge Website. 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Welcome home from Afghanistan, Brother William Ferrell.

Congratulations to Brother Don Horman, Pro-Tem Secretary, who was named Master Mason of the Year by the 1st Masonic District.

Did you know........

Did you know there is a cemetery in Springfield, Illinois and one in Clinton Township, Missouri, that has a large Masonic section that is set up as a lodge room?  There are large stone chairs for the Master and Wardens and a large stone Altar with a Bible.  The area is so large that a person would have a difficult time shouting loud enough to be heard from one station to another.
