GRAND LODGE OFFICERS


MATERIAL FROM THE 1911 HISTORY

In 1910, the Lodge voted to appoint Wor. Edgar Potter, Secretary of the Lodge, as "Historian of Alpha Lodge and that he be requested forthwith to prepare a history of the Lodge for the first thirty-five years of its life as a constituted Lodge." Brother Potter's efforts resulted in a fine printed volume: History of Alpha Lodge A.F. & A.M., South Framingham, Mass., 1875 to 1911. It was published by the Lodge that year, and included many portraits of members and Past Masters, and biographies of members.

This section includes these pictures and biographies. Where not otherwise listed, necrologies are given for these Craftsmen.
