List mates,

There are three 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 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 all three pages I received of this return.

"These Returns must be sent to the Grand Secretary by September 15. Bro.
Secretary, please read second page before filling this up.
