County Leads in Movement to
Aid in Education OF
Orphans

ceased Masons:
That Ohio County has real live
bunch of Masons is shown by the
splendid work they are doing for
the Home, its maintenance. and the
education of the orphan. They have
inaugurated a movement in connec-
ton with the educational work
which is so highly commendable
and praiseworthy that we want ev-
cry Mason in kentucky to know all
about it.
On December 22nd a meeting of
the fifteen lodges of Ohio County
was called to be held at Hartford,
Ky. At that meeting and subse-
quently twelve of the lodges made
liberal contributions, amounting in
all to 1910, and it is the under
standing that the other three lodges
will likewise join in the movement.
There were present at this meeting
the following:
A. c. Porter, of Hartford Lodge
No. 675; A. B. Tichenor, of Matan-
Zas Lodge No. Sill; ID. Jackson, OF
Centertown, Lodge No. ia; E. A.
Barnard, of Ceralvo, Lodge No.
253; NJ. F. Chumley, of McHenry
Lodge No. 500; j. D. Taylor, of
Beaver Dam Lodge No. 420; DR..
Oscar Alien, of Cromwell Lodge No.
692; II. d. Edison, Of Friedaianf
Lodge No. S63; Ollie Petty, of
Pleasant Grove Lodge No. 500. An
organization was formed, with Bro.
A. C. Porter as Chairman, and Bro.
c. NJ. Grove as Secretary.
Bro. Porter was initiated March
2, 1914; passed April 6, 1914, and
raised May 4, 1914; was elected
Master of No. 675 December 81,
1919; was reelected December 81,
1920, and is now serving his second
year as Master of said lodge.
He is a member of Keystone
Chapter No. 10, r. A. NJ, of Hart
ford, Ky.
Bro. Grove was made a Mason
in A. G. Hodges Lodge No. 297, at
Whitesville, Ky, initiated October
2S, 1894, passed November "a, IS
"a, and raised December 22, 1894.
He is member OF Keystone
Chapter No. 10, r. "A. NJ, of Hart
ford, Ky. He was elected to MEM
bership in Hartford Lodge No. 675,
October I, 1875, Identified from
Hartford Lodge June 3, 1901, to
Whitesville. ~. He again moved
to Hartford and became a member
of Hartford Lodge No. 675 May l,
1905, and is at present a member
of that lodge.
He served as Master of Hartford
Lodge No. 675 in 1907, 1908, 1916, !
1917 and 1918. In 1919 he was
elected Secretary of his lodge, and |
was reelected December 81, 1920.
On December 9th, Hartford Lodge |
with membership of 166 members.
had paid their dues in full to Janu-
AIRY /, 1921, and three of the mem |
bers had paid their dues until jan
uary /, 1922. We venture the as
sertiOn that there is not another
lodge in the State of Kentucky /
where every member of its lodge is
in good standing with their dues
paid in advance. This is evidence
that Bro. Grove is real live Secre-
tary and attends strictly to the
business of his lodge.
Since that meeting the other |
lodges of Ohio County have be-
come interested and it is the hope !
of the brethren of that county that
every one of the fifteen lodges
therein will share in the generous
assistance they are giving the Edu-
cational Trustees. That would make
Ohio County 100 per cent and
would be the first instance where
every lodge in a county has Joined
together to pay the expenses for
educating one of the children leav-
ing the Masonic Home.
Bro. +. A. Barnard, of Ceralvo
Lodge. was the prime mover of this
plan. He discussed 1t with some
of the trustees during the Grand
Lodge. and after he went back
home he inaugurated the work
which resulted in the meeting held
at Hartford on December 22nd.
Bro. Barnard is Past Master of
Ceralvo Lodge No. 253. He was
initiated December 20, 1906, passed
January 26. 1907, raised February
23, 1907. He has filled the stations
of Wardens and of Master. He is
an honorary member Of Center
