MASONIC FESTIVAL AT WOODS STATION Hundreds Gather There At Last Saturday's Celebration MANY LOGES REPRESENTED A Trio of Distinguished Orators, Hon. J.W. Maddox, Dr. W.G. England And B.F. Thurman Present. ---------------------------------------------- MAS_ _ _ NICLY the gathering at Woods Station Saturday June 24, 1899 was the largest ever held in Ca_ _ _sa county. The festival had been judiciously advertised and invitations had been extended all loges in the adjacent territory, and as a result there were representatives there from many different organizations. At an early hour people from all sections of the country and all kinds of vehicles _ _ _ horseback _ _ _ as pedestrians began to assemble on the grounds of the Masonic hall. The committee in charge of the arrangements had exercised good judgement and had everything satisfactorily arranged. _ large stand for the speakers, well shaded, and artistically decorated in the national colors, red, white and blue, occupied a conspicuous place on the grounds. In front of this stand was a place for the choir and Mason_ _ and in the rear seats for the ladies and their escorts. Above the stand, enclosed in a frame draped in the national colors was the word "welcome" encircling the Masonic emblem. The masons met in the lodge room and marched in a body to the cemetery, where they dedicated the monument of R.A. Jones. Afterwards they returned to the stand and the exercises began by Dr. J.E. Peace introducing to the vast audience W. Trox Bankston of Ringgold, who delivered the welcome address. Next on the program came the address of Assistant District Deputy Dr. W.G. England, of this Masonic district. It was an interesting paper and replete with the growth and benefits of masonry from the building of the temple up to the present time. This was followed by music, and afterwards one of the most important features of the day, dinner was announced. Such a dinner as it was will never be forgotten by the large crowd which sur- - - - - - the temporary table which had been erected for the occasion. It _ _ _irly groaned under its weight of _ _ _ _itables. I would be a useless effort to enumerate all the good things they had to eat. All you had to do was shut your eyes and wish for what you wanted, and the person next to you would pass it along. The eatables on this occasion established the reputation of the fair ladies of North Georgia as culinary artist of the highest ability, and the hospitality of her people was proverbial. After the choir had rendered some excellent songs, the orator of the day Congressman John W. Maddox, of Rome, was introduced and in his own eloquent _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ duties of the Masons, the building _ _ _ character and the great reunion i_ _ _ temple in the skies. The choir followed with appropriate music. B.F. Thurman, of LaFayette, followed with his address which was attentively listened to by those present. Taken altogether the day was a most pleasant one and heartily commemorates St. John the Baptist, who was a member of the ancient order. The members of Woodstation Lodge No. 233 F. & A.M., and the people of Woodstation Valley are to be congratulated on the success of this auspicious occasion which will be one _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ asan_ __ _pts_ _ _ _ rred_ _ _ in_ _ _ _ by the Masons of the future. Below we give a brief sketch of the lodge, its officers and its members, and a portrait of the present worshipful master, Chas. A. Cooper. Woodstation Lodge was organized April 11, 1891 with the following charter members as officers: A.I. Leet, W.M.J.H. Black, S.W.W.P. Jones, J.W.J.P. Williams, Treas W.A. Weaver, Sec. J.N. Daily, Sr. D.J.H. Lowery, J.D.J.A. Arnold, Tyler, W.P. McCutcheon and S.G. Wilbanks stewards, R.P. Neal, Chaplain, T.A. Williams. During the eight years existence of the lodge twenty-one members have been initiated and raised to the sublime degree of a master mason.

WHITE - BELL - MOORE -EVITT/EVATT - These are some of the surnames I am working on. Also - found a photo of an older lady, with a very long dress on, standing in a flower garden. Written on it is: "Aunt Bettye" and on the top is written "Aunt Ruby's mother". The Aunt Ruby is probably the Ruby who married Robert Cleveland 'Cleve' Bell, son of Franklin Bell and Sarah Elizabeth Moore. Cleve was born 1884, but I have no further info on his wife Ruby. Bonnie
