A BIT OF MASONIC HISTORY

Greensboro. July s.-(Special.)-Lafay-
ette lodge, No 26, the home of the Green's
boro Masons, has recently been done over
and improved until an antiquated abode
is transformed into thing of beauty, with
1t is furnished throughout with manog-
any furniture the officers chairs being
especially massive and handsomely carved.
Apropos of Lafayette, it Is one of the
Oldest lodges In the state, dating back to
1926, and perhaps a bit of its history will
be of interest. Rather remarkable 1T
seems that the same lodge room in which
the Masons OF. 1885 met should be used by
the 1913 Masons. more than three-quarters
of century afterward. This handsomely
appointed lodge room of today was built In
1885 at cost of S629.54. The Masonic or
der has always fiourished here, as from its
organization to the present time the most
substantial and prominent men of Green's
boro have been among its members.
One of the much valued possessions in
the lodge room is sheep skin, upon which
the charter granted Lafayette lodge is
written. 1t bears the date of February 20,
1927, and is yellow with age, having been
in the lodge room 81 years. 1t is fairly
we'll preserved. The charter is signed
by Nimrod E. Benson, grand master; ]. b.

LETTERS TO EDITOR

To the Editor of The Age Herald
Mr.. Percy Clark is to be commended
for the interest he is taking in help
ing to purge our pension roll of un-
worthy applicants. This gentleman is
a free lance, and being we'll informed
in matters of history, he is doing great
good. In his last communication in
reference to the desertion of two SER
geants from the Ninth Alabama regi-
ment, Wilcox brigade, he gets his in
formation from the enemy, or the fed
erals, dated Maryland Heights, June
26, 1858. Now, 1t may be possible that
there were two sergeants who deserted
their command, but it seems strange
to me, being an officer in this regiment,
that 1 should have forgotten such an
occurrence as this. 1t was the GUS
tom to call the roll of the company
night and morning, and had there been
any desertions l would have known It.
Sergeants in a company were always
selected for their faithfulness and eff
cheney as this is responsible and i'm
portant position. The Ninth Alabama
regiment participated in almost every
battle fought in Virginia, Maryland and
Pennsylvanla. and there were no better

in writing this letter except that while

my duty to clear my comrades of any

In the history of Lafayette lodge, DIR.
L. r. Ward served as worshipful master
for % years, the longest, in point of SER
vice. of any of the worshipfu1 masters
William e. w. Yerby has served the
lodge as secretary 20 consecutive years,
from 1898 to 1913, the longest period ever
recorded by any secretary during the 81
years of its existence. Mr.. Yerby is still
filling this very important position most
satisfactory, his exceptionally long term
of service showing just how essential he
is to his fellow Masons. 1t seems there
was a Masonic lodge in Greensboro prior
to Lafayette-W Washington, No. II, estab-
lished 1922. In William f. w. Yerby's val
liable History OF Greensboro" with the
foregoing facts, the following is found:
1.-THE petition which dispensaton was
issued said lodge January 8, 1922 was
signed Hiram Shortridge. Ira Nelson,
Ebenezer Whiting, Samuel Briggs, Sam
uel Dickerson, Lawrence Carr, Joseph
Middlebrooks, Joseph B. Stickney." Some
of the old papers from which Mr. Yerby
collected his Masonic data show many
prominent names, who assisted in the up
building of the southland and whose de-
scendents are scattered far and near for
instance: Whelan, Stickney, Whiting, wal
Ter, Ward, Shortrdge. Nelson. Haygood,
Walthall Winn, Webb, Boardman, Peter
son, Chiffon. Young, Inge and many
others.
Among the high priests in the royal arch
chapter, Greensboro in We olden times,
between 1889 and 1874, are noted Charles
Whelan, grandfather of DR.. Charles
Whelan of Birmingham, and Francis Ma
rion Peterson, father of Mrs. Phares
Coleman of Birmingham, each having
twice served a term of years in this hon

the Senate in June for the place and his
commission issued.
Horn, however, was slow In assuming
charge, and as the office was, according
to receipts between January and July re-

that Horn had no right to take charge
unless he stood the required civil service
examination. He declared this examina-
