Description
Original 1949 pocket-size Masonic directory/booklet for Morton Lodge No. 63, F. & A.M., based at the Masonic Temple in Hempstead, New York. The cover notes that Morton Lodge was instituted June 23, 1797, making this a strong Long Island and Nassau County fraternal-history piece.
This small member reference includes useful period details, including:
* Officers for 1949
* Addresses and telephone numbers for key lodge officers
* Trustees for 1949-1951
* “In Memoriam” list for members who died in 1948, with dates raised or affiliated
* Organizations meeting at the Masonic Temple in Hempstead, including Garden City Lodge, Signet Chapter R.A.M., Nassau Commandery K.T., Morton Chapter O.E.S., Rainbow Girls, and DeMolay
A scarce local Masonic booklet with excellent Hempstead, Long Island, genealogical, and fraternal-organization interest. These small annual lodge directories were generally member-issued reference pieces and are much less commonly encountered than standard Masonic books.
Original softcover/wraps with light handling wear consistent with age. Interior pages are readable and well preserved for a small 1940s pocket booklet. Please view all photos for size, condition, and included contents.
