was destroyed by fire and most
of the original records lost.
THE present land was pur-
chased from Frank S. Ditto in
April 1887. Mr.. Ditto used the
building as a general store. 1t
was converted into a lodge hall
by members of both lodges and
the first meeting in the new loca-
ton was held July 20, 1887. Both
| lodges have cooperated in fund
raising projects by sponsoring
dinners, card parties, ETC., to
pay for the property and the
! yeally expenses.
I'm 1857 the state highway de-
partment's plan for the improve
ment of Rt. 306, indicated the
; building stood upon property
needed for road right of way.
The trustees were faced with
the problem of abandoning the
hall or moving it to the rear of
the lot and placing it on a new
foundation. After settlement with
the right of way it was decided
to move the building and modern
ize it as it is seen now.
Much of the labor on repairs
and installation of utilities was
contributed by the Temple mem
berS. We are all well pleased
with results accomplished and
are looking forward to taking a
more active part in the frater-
nal activities of our neighboring
chapters.
