 Mt. Pleasant  I.O.O.F.

 

  Believe it or not the first Masonic Lodge received its original warrant in 1791. They met in each others' homes until a 2 story building at the n. e. corner of 3rd and Walnut was built in 1825. This site saw a larger building in 1846 and another in 1865, this building you can see in the first non-post card image below. The next two cards show this structure after a few modifications had been made over the years.
   In the early twentieth century there were 18 Masonic groups which organized to erect a headquarters on the south side of fifth street between Broadway and Sycamore, which is the building you see in the second row. It contains 3 connected units. The eastern section has a 1,100 seat Scottish Rite amphitheater, the central contains among other things the main auditorium. The western wing is the 2,500 seat Taft Auditorium, named in honor of Charles P. Taft a Mason and chairman of the building committee.

Carthage Lodge Members.jpg (105205 bytes)

   These men are apparently lined up along a street in Carthage. The embossed circle on the lower right of the card says 'Dunn' maybe the photographer?. Underneath that it says 'Carthage'. On the back it identifies the 7th man down as 'Dad Smith'. The card states these are lodge members 1909. That's all I can tell you.

Loyal Order Of Moose

   The Moose was founded by Dr. John Henry Wilson and a group of his friends in 1888 in Louisville, Kentucky, as a social and drinking club to rival the Elks. These cards were for the Silver Jubilee held in Cincinnati from July 28 to August 1 in 1913. As you can see from the 2nd card above these cards were sent out from all the Moose lodges around the country.
