NOTES
Subject: 1887 Hood county Masonic Lodges

I was looking at the listing of the Masonic Lodges in Hood County in 1887 and found an error in the listing for Charity Lodge 565 in Lipan. The listing shows that the Treasurer was H.R. White, this is an error the correct listing should have been H.R. White’s Brother W.W. (Walter William) White. W.W. is my great grandfather. I was discussing this with my Grandmother (W.W.’s Daughter) Pernie Baldree, she said that H.R. was her uncle and that he was never a member of the Masonic Lodge. I wanted to see if there is any way that this can be corrected on the listing? If I can be of any assistance feel free to contact me, I have worked with Vircie on several projects and would like to help but at the present I don’t have time to participate in the meetings. I would like to help when I can though. Look forward to hearing from you
Sincerely,
Walter H. Baldree CPA
