Opis

Freemasons contributed to America and the state of Alabama through their patriotic service and philanthropic work since 1811, but little is known about their backgrounds. Utilizing the bonds of their fraternity, but without fanfare, the freemasons built schools, orphanages, nursing homes, provided for the sick and elderly, fought wars, and were an integral part in building the state of Alabama and our country. They were, simply put, 'the epitome of good patriots and citizens.' As wife of one of the Grand Masters, Donna R. Causey, had the unique opportunity to work with Alabama's Grand Lodge to provide biographical data into the lives and backgrounds of all the Grand Masters of Freemasonry in Alabama from 1811 to 2011. Many early photographs of the Grand Masters are included in this work. Biographies of the following men are included listed in order of their service: THOMAS WADSWORTH FARRAR, WILLIAM B.
