There is a book out that has some Masonic information for the entire state. The Masons would meet annually (like a convention) and much of the business of the lodge was recorded in the Annual that they printed for that year. There are names of members in these annuals. I had not been able to determine a death date for my grandfather after much searching. No headstone, etc. He was a mason. And guess what, his death was recorded in that annual. I suggest that you go to the Arkansas History Commission in Little Rock, AR. They have copies of those annuals. Desmond Jones Allen did an index to those annuals or some book concerning the information there. Try her web site. I don't know how much family info would be in those annuals but I do know that they reported the deaths of their members. Rebecca
