MASONIC ORGANIZATIONS

of

EMPORIA, KANSAS

For the year 1946

 Present Home of Masonic Bodies
First Howe of Emporia Lodge No. 12
 GJoreword
To the members of the various Masonic Institutions:
In past years the Masonic Lodge has occasion-
ally published a booklet at the close of the year
giving a detailed report of the year's business the
names of the officers for the past year, a l~t of
the Past Masters and a complete roster of all mem-
bers. The last book of this nature was printed in
1920, and was in celebration of the Fiftieth Anni-
versary of Emporia Lodge No. 12. During the year
1946 the question of publishing a roster was die-
cussed in the lodge and it was suggested that the
other bodies be invited to join the lodge and get
out a roster of all Masonic bodies. This was
accordingly submitted to each of the other bodies
who took heartily to the proposition.
The following organizations, which are affiliated
with Masonry in Emporia, and enjoy fraternal
fellowship, and have a part in this booklet are:
Emporia Lodge No. 12 A. F. & A. M., Emporia
Chapter No. 12 R. A. M., Emporia Council No. 7
R. & S. M., Emporia Commandery NO.8 K. T., The
Masonic Low 12 Club, Emporia High Twelve Club
Miriam Chapter No. 14 O. E. S., Emporia Assembly
No. 31 S. O. O. B., Emporia Bethel No.4 Order of
Job's Daughters, Lyon County Scottish Rite Club
Emporia Arab Shrine Club.
The keynote of Masonry is friendship and
brotherly love. Will you not, as you look through
this booklet, resolve, "that in the future you will
practice these commendable virtues to the fullest
extent?" Thus, and thus only, will we maintain
the high standards of Masonry.
During the time the last roster was printed and
up to the present time, many of our members have
answered the summons of the Grand Master of
the Universe and many new members have been
added to the roll. December 31, 1946 finds our
Masonic Temple Building free of debt, this event
was celebrated on February 21, 1947.

 Emporia Lodge No. 12, A. F. & A. Jl1.
The Emporia Masonic Lodge came into existence
in January 1858, with the small group of men, who
had received the degrees of Ancient Craft Masonry
in other states, and no sooner did they reach the
little hamlet of Emporia, than they began to gather
in groups and discuss the feasibility of forming a
Lodge. On January 15, 1858, eight of these men met
to organize. The location of the meeting was un-
known. They immediately signed a pesition to the
Territorial Grand Lodge for a dispensation, and
one of the band mounted his horse and rode the
long dreary trail to Leavenworth to secure the
coveted authority. As to where the first Home of
Emporia Lodge was, History is silent. History in-
forms us these brethren met frequently for instruc-
tion and communion, one with another.
Accessions to the Lodge, both by initiation and
affiliation were rapid and by September 1860, the
Lodge reached a membership of thirty-eight. And
so they kept going as Emporia Lodge No. 12, U. D.,
until September 12, 1861, when the members en-
listed in the Army, and with a prayer in their
hearts and on their lips, marched away to defend
their country.
No rurther record was found of a meeting until
May 28, 1863, when its was once more organized as
a Lodge U. D, At this time arrangements were
made to rent the building at the corner of Seventh
and Commercial. One of the officers was sent to
Topeka with the arrearages of Grand Lodge dues,
and a request that Emporia Lodge No, 12 be re-
stored to good standing. Our representative not
having sufficient notice of this meeting, and the
trails being bad, he did not arrive in Topeka until
Grand Lodge had closed for the year. However, the
Grand Master issued a dispensation for the year
1863-64, and at a meeting of Grand Lodge in 1864,
our present Charter was issued under the date of
December 31, 1864, and now hangs on the wall of
our Temple building.
[ 10 ]
The meetings of the Lodge at that time were
held in a little frame Shack, and the furnrture con-
sisted of three crude unfinished wooden tables,
three chairs of the same make, a dry goods box for
an Altar, rough pine benches for seats, homemade
rods for Deacons and a few homemade candlesticks.
Masonry continued to flourish, and Emporia
Lodge No. 12 to grow. By the close of 1865 the
membership was 46. December 24, 1868 the Lodge
moved into the third floor over the bank of Jolu).
R. Swallow & Company, and entered a three year
lease, Later the Lodge secured more commodious
quarters in the third story of what is now the
Emporia State Bank.
The years from 1868 to 1881,passed rapidly and
peacefully, the lodge keeping pace with the growth
of the town, doing what it could toward making
Emporia a better place to live.
At the regular meeting held on June 3, 1881,
Brother Charles W. Cleaver moved that the
lodge appoint a committee of three to inquire into
the advisability of securing a location, and building
a Masonic Temple. The committee reported, at the
next meeting, they had an offer of a site, at the
southeast corner of Fifth and Merchant, to be
donated by Calvin Hood and his associates provided
the Lodge would build a three story brick building.
The cuntract was awarded to E. F, Sprague, for
$17,039.60,exclusive of the foundation which was
built by L. W. Lewis. Emporia Lodge moved into
its new quarters early in 1883.
Today the Lodge is third owner of a magnificent
Temple building, 100x75 feet, three stories high,
with reading rooms, club rooms and all the modern
up-to-date conveniences of ow' time. The member-
ship now totals 906.

Emporia Commandery No. 8
The first movement toward creating Emporia
Commandery No.8, Knights Templar, took place
March 28, 1875, when L. D. Jacobs, H. C. Cross,
Almerin Gilett, J. C. Bennett, W. W. Hibben, J. C.
Watson, Noyes Spicer, J. K. Finley, D. Holderman,
Ca.lvin Hood, Paul Jones and E. Nichols met and
started the preliminary work towards organizing
the Commandery.
On April 17, they reported they had exemplified
the work at Topeka and a dispensation was issued
to them, and Emporia Commandery U. D., was
then organized with the following as the regular
officers, under the dispensation: Luther D. Jacobs,
Eminent Commander; Hiram D. Cross, Gener-
alissimo; Almerin Gilett, Captain General; James
C. Bennett, Senior Warden; Thomas C. Watson,
Junior Warden.
We have been honored with the highest mark
of esteem the Grand Commandery could confer,
Eminent Sir J. Jay Buck having been elected to
Grand Commander in 1887, Eminent Sir Robert E.
Torrington was Grand Commander in 1895, Emi-
nent Sir Charles G. West was Grand Commander
in 1930, and Roy Wilford Riegle as the present
Grand Commander for 1947. The Commandery has
had the honor of having membership on many im-
portant committees as the years have passed. Em-
poria has also been honored by entertaining the
Grand Commandery of Kansas several times, in
1879,1884,1911, 1924,1927, 1931,1938,1940and 1945.
In looking over the minutes of our meetings, a
very interesting item was noted in the minutes of
March 25, 1921,which reads as follows: The matter
of the Drill team was brought up and discussed,
especially the lack of interest in this part of our
activities, and a team of Commanders and Past
Commanders was suggested, should the rank and
file not get into the harness, and put this Com-
mandery on the map.
[ 41 1
 The minutes seemed to be the one that started
the ball to rolling; plans were immediately started
to organize a drill team which has since developed
into one of the greatest drill teams in the State.
Since that time the team has won 19 firsts, one
second and five thirds in the State Conclaves. In
1928 the team won seventh place at Detroit, in the
Triennial Conclave, in 1931 they received fourth
place at Minneapolis, in 1934 they received second
place at San Francisco and again in 1937 they re-
ceived second place at Cleveland.
In checking over the records and minutes of the
past seventy-one years, many items of interest are
noted, but it is impossible to numerate them all in
the short space allotted for us. During these years
our Commandery has grown from a small Com-
mandery to one of the outstanding Commanderies
in the State, and is known all over the United
States.
Emporia Commandery No. 8 is one of the very
few who confer the Order of Malta in full form.
This degree alone uses special robes and equipment
purchased at a cost of $750.00which is used for this
degree only.

 Order of the Eastern Star
Miriam Chapter No. 14, Order of the Eastern
Star, was organized June 22, 1876, in Jay's Hall,
located at Fifth and Commercial Streets.
Deputy Grand Patron H. G. Reynolds, appoin~ed
by Grand Patron Robert McCoy of New York, ill-
stituted the Chapter.
There were thirty-seven charter members, sev-
enteen Sisters and twenty Brothers. A Charter was
issued to the Chapter, and after being signed, the
meeting adjourned until October.
The Chapter room was ornamented with Mottos,
and furnished with a Bible, an organ, a small
pedestal, a high backed desk, and a number of
chairs. A central hanging coal 011 lamp and four
wall bracket lamps lighted the room.
The next event of importance was a call for
the Grand Chapter to meet in Emporia, on October
18 1876 the same date the Masonic Grand Lodge
w~s cailed. Hotel accommodations at that time
were inadequate for a large gathering, and every-
one opened their homes, and gave cheerful wel-
come to any representative of this Fraternal Order.
Forty-two of the eighty Chapters were represented.
After the election of a President and Secretary,
the Constitution Regulations and Jurisprudence of
the Sovereign Grand Chapter of the Order of the
Eastern Star of Kansas were submitted and adopt-
ed. The meetings were to be held on the same
day as the Masonic Grand Lodge meetings, and
were to convene at 7 P. M. Immediately following
the business session, this energetic little Grand
Body opened the Grand Chapter of Kansas, with
full ceremonies, with the officers of Miriam Chapter
in the chairs.
Sister Mary Helper of Ft. Scott was chosen as
the First Worthy Grand Matron of Kansas. Sister
Mary Buck, Miriam Chapter's firsb Worthy Matron,
was Worthy Grand Matron in 1879.
[ 52 ]
Many honors have come to Miriam Chapter
through its members from the Grand Chapter of
Kansas.
Sister Mary Buck was Worthy Grand Matron in

Social Order of the Beauceant
Emporia Assembly was constituted in 1923 the
thirty-first assembly to be affiliated with' the
National Assembly, and we are known as Emporia
Assembly No. 31, of the Socia.! Order of the
Beauceant of the World.
We were organized by Mrs. John M. Parrington
and Mrs. Harry E. Peach, wives of Sir Knights in
good standing in Emporia Commandery.
Supreme Officers of Beauceant came from Den-
ver, Kansas City, Lawrence, Newton, Pratt, and
other cities to install and instruct us in ow' cere-
monies. Our membership increased rapidly in the
first two years until we numbered about one hun-
dred fifty-three members. We have gradually
increased to more than two hundred at the present
time. During this time the officers were furnished
new robes, altar paraphernalia and ballot box were
purchased.
In om third year a fund was started for the
purchase of a new piano. Two years later, in 1928,
the Beauceant and Eastern Star bought and paid
for om new Chickering grand piano, for the lodge
room, which all Masonic groups are free to use and
enjoy.
Perhaps our most glamorous year was 1935,
when we entertained the National Assembly of
the Beauceant of the World. We were assisted by
seven Hostess Assemblies, Newton, Wichita, Well-
ington, Winfield, Hutchinson, Pratt, Kansas, and
Joplin, Mo. Om President, Mrs. E. J. Lewis, was
made general chairman of the National meeting.
With the help and courtesies showered upon us by
the Hostess Assemblies, our own Masonic bodies
Emporia Chamber of Commerce, Florists, Willia~
Allen and Mrs. White, and so many others the
[ 66 1 [ 67
work was made easy and it was a wonderful
meeting.
The Beauceant Choir of Emporia Assembly was
introduced to this National Assembly by Mrs. E. J.
Lewis, who had organized and trained them. They
contributed much to the interest and success of the
Supreme Meeting. Since that time the choir has
been invited to sing in many Kansas Assemblies.
They were sent to Minneapolis, Minn., to National
Assembly held there in 1937. In 1946ow' Beauceant
Choir was invited to St. Louis to help in the pro-
grams of Supreme Assembly. They received very
favorable comments, and surely put Emporia As-
sembly on the map. They are invited to attend
Supreme Assembly in Columbus, Ohio, in Sep-
tember 1947.
Our Assembly has many times been honored by
the Supreme Assembly. In 1924 Mrs. Harry Peach
was appointed Worthy Supreme Standard Bearer.
In 1927 Mrs. E. J. Lundy was appointed chairman
of Supreme oourtesy committee in Denver, Colo.
In 1928 Mrs. ChaJ'les West was made a member of
the .Iurfsprudence committee in Denver, Colo. In
1932 Mrs. Paul T'urner was honored by being in-
vited to open the Supreme Assembly in Atlantic
City, N. J., with a soprano solo. In 1934 Mrs. Fred
Scott was appointed to financial committee of
Supreme Assembly in Oklahoma City. In 1935 Mrs.
M. W. Schottler was named on the Credential
Committee, and Mrs. E. J. Lewis was appointed
Daughter of the Household, at Supreme Assembly
in Emporia. In 1936Mrs. Lewis played for Supreme
Installation services for National Assembly' in
Dallas, and was named on the Supreme Credential
Committee. In 1938 Mrs. Alvin Johnston was ap-
pointed to serve on Supreme Examining Committee
at Albuquerque.
Mrs. E. J. Lewis served as Supreme Director of'
Music in 1941. In 1944 Mrs. F. W. Lyons served on
Supreme Chartered Assemblies Committee. In 1945
Mrs. Lyons was Supreme Standard Bearer for
1
Supreme Assembly in St. Louis. In 1946 Mrs. E. J.
Lewis was appointed Supreme Director of Music, PAST PRESIDENTS
which position she now holds.

The Lyon county Scottish Rite Club was organ-
ized April 20, 1916, the membership consists of all
members of the Rite who live in Emporia, Lyon
County, or the vicinity, and who care to affiliate
themselves with this club. "The Parent Organiza-
tion is the Orient of Kansas - Valley of Topeka."
The first meeting was held in the old Whitley
Hotel, April 20, 1916, where the following officers
were elected: W. W. Parker, President; John Sauer, PAST PRESIDENTS
Vice-President, and who also served as Secretary. w_ W_ Parker 1916 .Harry McGuire 1932

Scottish Rite Masonry; and to commemorate an- 'Deceased
nually the Night of Maundy Thursday, thus the
attendance would bethe fulfillment of our obliga-
tion as a Scottish Rite Mason.
This club has done quite a little charity work,
has helped in places where there was need, regard-
less of creed or color. This is taken care of from a
fund that is set up for this purpose. At the present
there are two members who have never missed a
meeting of tne club, S. N. Parker lrnd Royal F_ Ayer.
Through the courtesy and the efforts of Royal F.
Ayer, 33 degree, this history of the club has been
compiled.
