List mates,

There are four pages to this photocopy. The first lists the lodge and year
and shows the officers and positions held as well as where and when the
Freemasons from this lodge met. The second, third, & fourth pages are a
list of the members in good standing for that year. My comments on the
accuracy of the transcription are in brackets [] next to the item in
question. This post contains my transcriptions of pages one and two of this
return.
