The Eastern Star is the women's part, or equivalent, of the Masons. As I understand it, it is organized along similar lines. It is an internation fraternal organization.

I believe that the chapter of the Masonic Order in Suffern, Rockland County was located next to Avon on Lafayette Avenue. I was a rainbow girl there. Is the building still functioning as the meeting place of the Masons. The male counterpart of the Rainbow girls are the Demoley. I can assure you that I have misspelled it however.

Does >anyone have any idea as to what kind of group or organization it was and if it >was located soley out of Rockland Co. Is there any text I can read up on the >organization? > It's national. I searched on AltaVista and Yahoo and came up with: "The Order of the Eastern Star is an adoptive rite of Freemasonry with teachings based on the Bible and objectives that are charitable and benevolent. The founder of OES was Dr. Robert Morris, a lawyer and educator from Boston, Massachusetts, who was a Master Mason and Past Grand Master of Kentucky. Dr. Morris intended his creation to become a female branch of Freemasonry, but he failed to overcome the great opposition this idea engendered. After his first published ritual in 1849-50, he became associated with Robert Macoy who wrote and published a ritual based on Morris' in 1867. The first Grand Chapter was organized in Michigan in the same year. (There is evidence for an organization of the same name founded variously in 1788 or 1793, but this group was defunct by 1867.) Subordinate (local) chapters operate under charter from state level grand chapters which are responsible to the General Grand Chapter at the International Eastern Star temple in Washington, D.C."
