Thirty-second degree member
of The Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry
who live in Cherokee. Clay.
Graham, Macon and Swain
Counties made nationwide
history in the circles of
Masonry
These men knew many of
their Blue Lodge Brethren in
the area were desirous of
receiving the Scottish Rite
Degrees, but having to travel to
Asheville for that purpose held
them back so they went to
work and obtained .'Id
petitions. The degree teams
from Asheville came to
Andrews on March 22. 19t>9
and conferred the degrees 4th
through the 14th. These men
completed their journey
through the Thirty-second
degree later in Asheville.
So these men from
"Western" Western North
Carolina, having enjoyed the
sweet taste of victory decided
their joh was only begun. They
went to work again The above
picture shows the results of
their efforts.
The decree teams from
Asheville, consisting of
approximately 50 men. arrived
in Andrews on Saturday
morning, bringing a truck load
of paraphernalia and
equipment with them, this
with the fixtures already in the
Andrews Lodge Hall was used
for the Variety of scenes used
dunng the day.
Some 300 Western North
Carolina Masons were in
attendanceduring the day. They
were served lunch and dinner
by the ladies of Andrews
Chapter No. 15 Order of The
Kastern Star
March 22nd was the first
time and August 16th the
second time that any of the
Scottish Rite Degrees were ever
conferred away from The
Masonic Temple in the Valley
of Asheville and this group of
"Westerners" has gained
Nationwide notice. They
deserve much credit for their
determination o allow nothing
to stop them or to sway them
from their course.
These 17 men received their degrees 4 th thru 14th
at Andrews on Saturday, August 16, 1969.
