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.

We now have a Telephone Call List for Funeral Teams and Fellowcraft Teams.  Any Brother that would like to have his name and phone number listed, please contact Brother Don Mason (777-3853 or e-mail: dmasondon@juno.com).  Adding your name to these lists will ensure you a phone call whenever there is a Funeral or Master Mason Degree.

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.
