A Century of Masonic Purpose 1951

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , /by

The Grand Lodge of Oregon at the 1951 Annual Communication had the newly assigned Centennial Committee give a report on the progress of the upcoming September 1951 Centennial.

As a side note many Masonic Lodges in the Oregon Jurisdiction each were preparing for their own 100th Centennial Observance. In many of the lodge historical files held within the archives of the museum of the Grand Lodge of Oregon can be found the individual lodge centennial programs.

 

In 1951 an address was given at the Oregon City Senior Hight School.  The program was called, “A Century of Masonic Purpose”.

Triplet Freemasons – Lafayette No. 3

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

  While working on the scanning project of “Oregon Freemason Periodicals” I came across this wonderful item of Masonic History.  This is even more important for my lodge of Union No. 3 in McMinnville Or.   Lafayette No. 3 consolidated with Lafayette No. 3 in the 1990’s.

This is a perfect example of the hidden and forgotten histories that are hidden within our old books, periodicals and records within our lodge and Grand Lodge archives.

GLO Digital Archives Index – New Addition

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

Recently several three ring binders from the 1940’s surfaced created by PGM Carl Patterson.  His detailed typed notes on the creation and management of the Education Fund and Building Association is very detailed.  The reasoning and use of these notes are at this time not clear.

Two new additions to the GLO Digital Archives.  The Building Association which was a sub-committee to raise money and build Masonic Temples in the Portland Oregon area.

The ongoing collection of Education Fund records is growing all the time.  The new addition to the Digital Archives is enlightening.

Poems from WB Dale B – Union No. 3 McMinnville Or.

/0 Comments/in /by

A wonderful example of love of poetry is shared for all.  In Union NO. 3 in McMinnville Or. we were blessed with a wonderful man and Freemason WB Dale.  He was our Poet laureate.  During many degrees and meetings he would sit quietly and listen to the business of the lodge diligently writing the poetry for the night.  At the end of the meeting he would raise his hand and announce to the WM in the East that he had something to share.  He would slowly stand and present his poem to the Brothers.  Those nights are greatly missed by this Brother.  Our dear WB Dale is greatly missed.
