Forward
October 22, 1912, a goodly company of sixty-three
men,born in England, Scotland, Germany, Sweden,
Poland, and eleven states of the Union, differing in age
from twenty-three to fifty-nine years, of good physique,
representing twenty-nine differnt trades and profesions,
knowing to be Master Builders, having been tried, and
found faithful, assembled at the Scottish Rite Temple,
East St.Louis, Illinois, to be examined by the Lords and
advanced to the realm of more sunshine.
This Company, with a firm step and a forward look,
took it's place in the Chamber of Instruction and was
conducted in the beautiful and sublime lessons of truth
and justice.
During an intermission, the October Class of 1912
organized and elected the following officers;
James Irwin Wagner {President}
Daniel Goodnight Fitzgerrell {Vice-Pre}
William Theodore Bates {Sec}
William Oliver Reeder {Tres}
Edward Nelson Goff {Historian}
The class will remember with pleasure the hours
of good fellowship, the impressive degree of work,
the banqueting, and the recess intervals.
With jokes, and songs of mirth
Fruits from all corners of the weed.
With the burning of the weed.
T'was the sweetest {candy} time you ever see'd.
The Class, with earnest appreciation of the
courtesies shown by the officers and members
of Mississippi Valley Consistory, highly esteem
the honor of membership in the same and vow
to be stronger and kinder men, to pass on the
kindness they have received, and strive to show
forth the mind of the Great Builder.
With this breif statement of facts, your Historian
expresses a hope that the following history of the
members, interspered with pearls of truth, will
meet the wish of the class, and that we may ever
have the spirit to spread the mantle of charity
over the faults of our brethren and strive to emulate
their vertues.
"Behold how good and how pleasent it is for brethren
to dwell togather in unity."
Very respactfully submitted
