Joyce, This is his degrees. You mentioned the lodge number, you may be able to contact the lodge, if it still exist. Remember to address the query to the Master of the Lodge and request it to be read in open lodge. This way a member may take it upon them self to help. Also remember that your writing to a lodge of masons and not genealogist. Give as much information as you have and write it in a manner that would be pleasing to read. Hope this helps, Dennis "Hutton (by way of Jan Davenport )" wrote: > Hi List members, > > My letter to the Grand Lodge F&A Masons, Little Rock, was answered. > There was not a lot on information, but some is certainly welcomed, > right? > > They informed me that a fire destroyed records in 1919.
