SUTTER'S FORT, SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA [From a sketch made by the Right Venerable Grand Secretary, Edwin A. Sherman, on his first visit to it on June 2, 1849.] Here was located in the fall of 1849 tne first Masonic and Odd Fellows Joint Relief Hospital in California, and placed in charge of those noble Pioneer Brethren, Doctors John F. Morse and J. D. B. Stillman, whose personal sacrifices have long since been rewarded in the "Celestial Grand Lodge above where the Supreme Grand Master forever presides." Here came the first authenticated Mason to cross the Sierra Nevada, Bro. James Frazier Reed, for relief of the "Donner Party" and of his own family perishing of starvation, but where he and all of his family were united after the living had been rescued. Here the noble band of Brethren of Sacramento assessed themselves in the sum of over forty thousand dollars in 1849 and 1850 alone, to assist the sick, the suffering and the dying, and when the cholera was sweeping the Sacra- mento and San Joaquiu Valleys and our Brethren were perishing by that scourge which smote mankind with the curse of death and they repeated the cry of distress continually, "Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there?" and receive the joyful answer, "Weep not, behold the Lion of the Tribe of Judah hath prevailed," and "Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth" of Masonry proved the strength of the "Mystic Tie." Oh, "those days of old, those days of gold, those days of forty-nine," The brightest of all, that we recall, when Masonry did shine. Oh grand old Fort, where sweet Charity held Court, Though walled in adobe, yet she did enrobe thee In the sheen of her glory, the mantle of the Craft. E. A. S. AND ORPHANS' HOME. r r THE CROWN OF OUR GLORY AND PRIDE OF THE CRAFT, AT DECOTO, ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. Corner Stone laid by the M. W. Grand Lodge of F. and A. M. of California on Oct. 14, 1896, by M. W. Edward Myers Preston, Grand Master, who labored seven long years as Chairman of the Committee and of the Board of Trustees to attain this noble object. It was dedicated by the M. W. Grand Lodge of F. and A. M. of California on Oct. 12, 1898, by M. W. Thomas Flint, Jr., M. W. Grand Master. Its Corner Stone a Pressed Stone and its Cap Stone a Flint, in commencing and completing this noble monument and landmark of Cali. fornia Masons' charity. As it was in the beginning so it was in the dedication, that W. Bro. Jacob Voorsanger, as Grand Orator, charmed and delighted the hearts of all the thousands of the Craft, there assembled, their wives, daughters and sisters with his wonderful eloquence, and the hundreds of Masonic Veterans that were there present rejoiced in the realization of their efforts for nearly fifty long years of faith and hope. The Master Mason's trowel was plated with gold. The Keystone of the Arch blazed forth with "I am that I am," like the search-light of the sun in a clear day, while the Cross of Calvary of the Templars became a telegraph pole radiant with electric fire, and the Double Headed Eagle singing and proclaiming Charity's watchwords, Deus Meumque Jus God and my right. At the laying of the Corner Stone Alameda Lodge No. 167, F. and A. M., with W. Bro. Edwin Whipple as Master, acted the part of host as when David brought up the Ark of the House of the Lord into the City of David, "And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread and a good piece of flesh and a flagon of wine." In this case coffee was substituted for the wine. Four P's have supplied the Home with another P., for the five points, Preston, Pierce, Patton, Peabody and Plenty. But it was found necessary to have some Aikins there in order to administer relief as circumstances may require. THE GRAND BANNER OF THE MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST. It was designed by Bro. Edwin A. Sherman, 33, the Right Venerable Grand Secretary. It is of blue silk and was painted by W. Bro. James T. Gardner, Past Master of Live Oak Lodge No 61, F. and A. M , of Oakland, Cal., a member of this Association. On the front are painted the portraits of W. Bro. Joseph Hull, the first Master to open a Masonic Lodge on the Pacific Coast, Multnomah Lodge No. i, at Oregon City, Oregon, on Sept. n, 1848: M. W. Jonathan D. Stevenson, the first Grand Master of California; M. W. Benjamin Jennings, the first Grand Treasurer of the Grand Lodge of California, and the first Grand Master of Oregon; M. W. Christopher Taylor, 33, the first to be initiated, passed and raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason on the Pacific Coast by W. Bro. Joseph Hull, on Sept. ir, 1848, the date of receiving the Charter and organizing Multnomah Lodge, and the Twenty-Seventh Grand Master of Oregon; and also of W. Bro. Henry F. Williams, P. M., the first petitioner for the degrees of Masonry, the oldest Mason made in California, the present Most Venerable Grand President of the Masonic Veteran Association of the Pacific Coast. In the center is its Great Seal in gold, and between all the words, "Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations, ask thy fathers and they will show thee, thy elders, and they will teach thee " On the reverse is the title, and the States and Countries of its juris- diction in Old English handsomely lettered in gold. The Grand Banner is heavily trimmed with the finest gold bullion fringe and tassels. At the top of the staff a gilt eagle from whose beak is suspended a silver trowel and in his dexter claw a silver compass, and in the left a silver square. The Banner was made and trimmed (and her first effort in that line) by Mrs. Edwin A. Sherman, the wife ol the R. V. Grand Secretary, as her contribution. It cost about $300.00 and the money was contributed by the members throughout its broad jurisdiction. It was duly consecrated with imposing ceremonies in California Lodge No i, F. and A. M., in the Masonic Temple, in San Francisco, Cal., on August 20, 1891, in the presence of nearly seven hundred Master Masons. W. Bro. Joseph Hull, P. M., M. W. Jonathan I>. Stevenson, P. G. M., and W. Bro. Henry F. Williams, P. M., and our present M. V. Grand President were crowned with laurel wreaths under it at that time. It was taken by the R. V. Grand Secretary, who was accompanied by W. Bro. Joseph Hull, to Dayton, Oiegon and there, under it, in the home of W. Bro. Geo. K Detmering, the Master of Lafayette Ledge No. 3. on Sept. 9, 1891 M. W. Christopher Taylor, the first Mason made on the Pacific Coast, was under it also crowned with laurel by W. Bro. Hull, who had initiated, passed and raised him to the Sublime Degree ot Master Mason forty three years be- fore at Oregon City and during all that time they had never met each other. The Banner was next displayed in the Hall of Lafayette Lodge No. 3, at Lafayette, Oregon, and in Multnomah Lodge No. i, at Oregon City, on the Forty-third Anniversary of its Organization, Sept. ir, 1891, when there was a very large attendance. There were present Bro. Joseph Hull, its first Master; Bro. Wm. B. Daugherty, its first Senior Warden; Bro. Peter G. Stewart, its first Senior Deacon; and Bro. Joseph Kellogg, who with his father, Orrin Kellogg, had brought the Charter of that Lodge from Missouri across the plains in 1848. Bro. Joseph Xellogg is still alive. The Banner was next displayed in Harmony Lodge No. 12, at Portland, in the presence of a large number of Grand Lodge Officers and Brethren who gave a cordial welcome to the Banner Party. It was then taken to Temple Lodge No. 7, at Astoria, at the mouth of the Columbia River, and warmly greeted After its return to California it was taken to Denver, Colorado, and displayed in the Temple during the Triennial Conclave of Knights Templar and when the Masonic Veteran Association of the United States was in session when the Right Venerable Grand Secretary thereof was elected National President under the Constitution which he had drafted, by direction of that body when first convened at Washington City. D. C., in October, 1889, of which he was one of the founders at that time and elected Vice-President for the Pacific Coast Division. It has been displayed in public processions of the Grand Lodge of California, at the laying of corner stones and dedication of the Masonic Home at Decoto. Alameda County, California. The office of Grand Standard Bearer will always be filled by a member of Multnomah Lodge No. i, at Oregon City, Oregon, where the first altar and fires of Masonry were erected and set aglow upon the Pacific Coast and which will never cease to spread their light as long as the fiery orb of day shall burn in the heavens which shines for all, upon land or sea, and from which the skilful navigator shall ever take his observations of it while persu- ing the trackless paths of the rolling seas.

In the month of May, 1872, while on a visit to the Atlantic States and sojourning for a few days in the City of New York, we there met with several distinguished Masonic brethren, SICKLES, McCl^ENACHAN, TlSDALE, MACOY, MORIARTY, and others, who had recently, on January 25, 1872, organized the Masonic Veterans of the City of New York, and were exhibiting the badge or button of their society, which had just been made by the jeweler and with which they were highly pleased. We inquired what th society was, what were its objects, the qualifications of membership, and all that could be learned about it, as it was the first time that we had heard the term "veterans" as applied to a Masonic organization. We learned that the qualifications were of being a Master Mason of twenty- one years, in good standing at the time of making application, and its objects were sociability and the cultivation of acquaint- ance, with smoking the pipe of fraternity as incense to the presiding deity of good fellowship, and once a year to have a grand reunion and a banquet with all "ye olden times" ingre- dients, and incidentally to gather historical and biographical matter, but in the main to have a good time. The idea struck us at once, that it would be a wise thing to organize a Masonic Veteran Association for the Pacific Coast, on a broader scale, more beneficial and more useful to the Craft in general, than having an organization of what would eventually become merely an old men's fraternal and social 4 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE club; and the more we thought of it, the more we were con- vinced, not only of the practicability, but that it was a duty devolving upon every pioneer Mason to unite and assist in the organizing and maintaining of a historical, biographical, and fraternal organization within the bosom of the Craft upon the Pacific Coast, which had a grander field for its work than any to be found east of the Rocky Mountains; for the pioneers of Masonry and founders of new States and Territories were still living, well known to each other, and with a living history totally different and unknown to those of the older States of the Union, whose fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers, whose experiences were somewhat similar to our own, had passed awa} r long before the present generation was born. We returned to California and Nevada, and to California again, and our public and private duties having demanded our time and attention, we were unable for several years to under- take the contemplated movement for an organization of the desired character. No one else had in the meantime attempted anything towards such an object, and fully six years had elapsed, and no effort had been made. Having arrived in California on May 24, 1849, and belonging to various societies of California pioneers, and knowing nearly everybody who were Masons from those earliest times, many passing away, we thought that the time had come for an organization, to secure the records of those living before it should be too late; also for the lack of veneration and regard on the part of the younger generation towards their elder Brethren, it became necessary to unite, to command, and if need be, enforce respect from the thoughtless and heedless, and to teach them that the silver crown of an old and true Brother is of greater honor than the downy mustache of a caput elephanlum whose beard has yet to grow, and who has to learn the admonition of Moses, the leader and lawgiver of Israel: "Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations; ask thy fathers, and they will show thee; thy elders, and they will teach thee." FIRST MEETING AND TEMPORARY ORGAN- IZATION. During the month of November, 1878, the subject of form- ing this Association was first mentioned by the Right Ven. MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST. 5 Grand Secretary, Edwin. A. Sherman, to Brother Columbus Wa- terhouse, the Worshipful Master of Mission Lodge F. & A. M., No. 169, of San Francisco, who heartily concurred in the proposed project. Soon after Brothers Samuel Swift and David W. Laird were approached, who gave their consent to unite and aid in the forming of this Association. In the early part of December, Brothers R. H. McDonald and Henry F. Williams gave their assent, which was immediately followed by that of Brothers Otto Kloppenberg, Jonathan Kittredge, and George Spaulding, making nine in all who united in a tempo- rary organization at the Masonic Temple, San Francisco, on St. John the Evangelist's Day, Dec. 2yth, 1878 (after the installa- tion of officers of CALIFORNIA Lodge No. i, F. & A. M., and the Lodge had closed), and it to be known as "THE MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST," and the following brethren assumed office at the others' request until a permanent organization should be effected, namely: Columbus Waterhouse, President; Samuel Swift, Vice-President; Edwin A. Sherman, Secretary; and David W. Laird, Treasurer. A Board of nine managers was temporarily chosen, and the name of Past Grand Master, N. Greene Curtis, was added to the list, and a circular was ordered to be prepared by the Secretary to be printed and distributed among the Lodges and brethren of the craft throughout the Coast. This was accordingly done, and issued on St. John the Evangelist's Day, Dec. 2yth, 1878, copies of which are on file in the Secretary's office. Immediately after, the following named brethren were chosen by unanimous consent to become members of this Association, to-wit: Past Grand Master Isaac S. Titus, Charles E. Blake, Sr., Peter J. Evans, Leopold Kuh, and Alexander Burkett. A meeting was then called for permanent organization, to be held at room 266 at the Palace Hotel, on Wednesday even- ing, Jan. 8th, 1879, by invitation of Brother R. H. McDonald, who kindly tendered it for the meetings of the Association. The meeting was accordingly held on that date, at which the following members were present, namely: R. H. McDonald, Henry F. Williams, Columbus Waterhouse, Jonathan Kit- tredge, Isaac S. Titus, Samuel Swift, George Spaulding, 6 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE Charles E. Blake, Sr., David W. Laird, Peter J. Evans, Leo- pold Kuh, Otto Kloppenburg, Alexander Burkett, and Edwin A. Sherman. The meeting was organized by Brother Columbus Water- house, President, and Brother Edwin A. Sherman, Secretary. Brother James M. McDonald was present by invitation and by a unanimous vote was elected a member and signed the roll. On motion of Brother Henry F. Williams, it was unani- mously resolved to go into a permanent organization and an election of officers. The permanent organization was effected and the following named brethren were unanimously elected officers of the Association, to-wit: Columbus Waterhouse, President; Samuel Swift, Vice-President, Edwin A. Sherman, Secretary; and David W. Laird, Treasurer. At this meeting Brothers Charles E. Blake, Sr., R. H. McDonald and Henry F. Williams were appointed a committee to prepare a Constitution and By-Laws for this Association, to which Brother James M. McDonald was subsequently added on account of his brother's contemplated absence from the city. At this meeting remarks of mutual congratulation were made by all, upon the happy completion of the permanent organization of the Association, commending the objects for which it had been instituted and expressing their determina- tion to do all in their power to advance its interests and secure its success. The next meeting was held at the Palace Hotel as before, on Wednesday, Jan. 15, 1879. At that meeting Brothers David Schindler and John C. Harrington were unanimously elected members of this Association. The admission fee was fixed at five dollars, and the Committee on Constitution and By-Laws were instructed to insert the same in the Constitution. The next meeting was held on Wednesday evening, Jan. 22d, at the same hour and place as before. The Committee on Constitution and By-Laws reported progress. Petitions were received from Brothers Samuel Graves, Wm, A. Williams and William A. King for membership. At this meeting the Secretary was directed to enter in the MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST. 7 records the history of the organization from the very begin- ning, giving a synopsis of all that had been done in founding the MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST. The next meeting was held on Wednesday evening, Jan. 29th, 1879, at the Palace Hotel as before. At this meeting the Committee on Constitution and By-Laws made their report, submitting the Constitution as the result of their labors. The Constitution was then taken up and adopted in part, and the remainder laid over until the next meeting. At, this meeting the Association was again honored by the presence of the venerable Brother and Father in Freemasonry, Samuel Graves, a veteran of eighty-five years of age and a Mason in good standing for a period of sixty-four years. Brother Graves was by a rising vote elected the FIRST GRAND HONORARY MEMBER of this Association. Brother Samuel Swift, Vice-President, in the chair, extended to him the right hand of fellowship in behalf of the Association, and declared a recess of ten minutes that the members might extend their cordial welcome and greeting to one who had for more than three score years honorably borne the name and upheld the character of a true Free Mason. Brother Graves then returned thanks to the Association for electing him to honorary membership herein and being admitted to fellowship among us. The next meeting was held at the Palace Hotel as before, on Wednesday evening, Feb. 5th, 1879, pursuant to adjourn- ment. At this meeting Past Grand Master Jonathan Drake Stevenson, the first Grand Master of California, was elected a Grand Honorary Member, he being a Mason of more thany/"/j/ years' standing. Past Grand Master Charles M. Radcliffe was elected an Honorary Member, and Brothers Wm. A. Williams and Wm. A. King, active members of this Association. The Constitution was then taken up as a whole and unani- mously adopted. The Constitution having provided for an additional elective officer, Brother George Spaulding was unanimously elected as Marshal of the Association. Thus on Wednesday evening, Feb.. 5th, 1879, the "MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST" finally com- 8 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE pleted and perfected its organizaion by the adoption of its Constitution, with the following named officers and members as founders of the organization, to- wit: OFFICERS.

(Of all of the twenty-three founders of this MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST, eighteen are dead and two dropped from the roll.) The following Declaration was adopted, setting forth the objects and purposes of this Association, and was duly sub- scribed to by all as follows: DECLARATION. ''Each brother must in virtue strive to excel 7'hat Brother lives twice who lives the first life well." We, the undersigned, Master Masons in good standing for the period of twenty-one years and more, being grateful to the Supreme Grand Architect of the Universe, who hath directed MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST. 9 our steps thus far along the rugged pathway of life and bounti- fully supplied us with more than Craftsmen's wages in the past, and being mutually satisfied and in fraternal harmony with each other, and desirous of forming a closer bond of union and fellowship among ourselves and with other elder ' 'Brethren of the Craft," whom we may elect to become united with us; and for the following purposes and objects, have organized and founded this Masonic Veteran Association. "Believing true happiness, if understood, Consists alone in doing good." First. To more earnestly cultivate the moral and social virtues; to maintain a higher and more exalted standard of the principles of true Freemasonry, "Brotherly L,ove, Relief and Truth;" to unite with us those brethren who for a period of twenty-one years or more have wrought upon the temple, on the mountains, and in the quarries, dispensed the charities of the fraternity with unstinted hands, who have grown gray and venerable in its service, and who have maintained its honor and dignity pure and unsullied in the long years that have passed away, whose escutcheons have ever borne the noble words: "Virtue, not rolling suns, the mind matures, That life is long which answers life's great end. The time that bears no fruit deserves no name, The man of wisdom is the man of years." Second, To gather up and preserve the fragments of Masonic history of personal reminiscences and experiences of the Pioneer Masons of the Pacific Coast, who cheered up the heart of the cholera-smitten and weary immigrant, and tenderly buried the dead on the desert plain, and protected his brother from the murderous savage; who cooled the parched lips and fevered brow of the fever-smitten companion at Panama; who nursed the famished ones on the ship that floated in the long and tedious voyage around the Horn, and from the Rocky Mountains' crest to the boundless Western sea, wherever the pioneer Craftsmen have toiled and wrought like the Masonic knights of old, in one hand the trowel borne and the other grasping a weapon, and who have left behind them if io BRIEF HISTORY OF THE not everywhere a temple, at least a tabernacle for the wander- ing Mason's temporary home. With the inscription: "All true glory rests; all praise, all safety, All happiness, upon the Moral and Masonic Law." That as the pioneer Masons on this Coast are rapidly pass- ing away, their glorious history of the past exists only in the memories of those who still remain, it is our object to bind ourselves still closer as brethren, and aid each other as we descend the hill of life; and to gather up so far as possible to do so, while there is an opportunity, all that is worthy of preservation, that pioneer Masonic history of the Pacific Coast may not be altogether lost. Third. To secure by bequest, donation, gift, or otherwise, lands, moneys, or material, for the purpose of establishing a Mason's Home for superannuated brethren, and for the widows and orphans of our deceased brethren, who have left these wards behind them to our fraternal care and protection. Fourth. To foster a more fraternal spirit of veneration and regard towards our honorable aged brethren, among the younger members of the fraternity as well as ourselves, to show a proper appreciation of their worth while living, and to pay a just tribute of esteem and affection to their virtues and memories when they shall be called from labor on earth to refreshment in the Celestial Grand Lodge above. And for the establishing, maintenance and perpetuity of this Association, we mutually pledge to each other our hands, our hearts, and our sacred Masonic honor. "Brotherly L,ove has a power To soothe affliction in her darkest hour." In testimony whereof, we the undersigned, Master Masons in good standing for the period of twenty-one years and more, assembled in the room of our Brother R. H. McDonald, room No. 226, fourth floor of the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, Cal., have adopted the following Constitution and By-Laws for the government of this "MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION of the PACIFIC COAST," and have hereunto set our hands and sub- scribed our names this fifth day of February, A.

The Constitution having been so frequently amended to meet the exigencies and changed conditions of the times, that it bears but little resemblance to the original; and we have had to "live and learn," and adapt our methods as practical experience has rendered the same necessary, and the Constitu- tion and By-Laws as now govern the Association will be found complete under its proper head. These changes have been rendered necessary on account of its expansion and growth, and its Grand Jurisdiction being so wide and extensive as to embrace all the territory whose waters flow into the Pacific Ocean from Alaska to the Isthmus of Panama, embracing the following States and Territories and Countries: California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska, Hawaiian Isla'nds, Philippines, Mexico, Central America and British Columbia. While it is an extensive territorial jurisdiction, yet it does not contain more than two-thirds as many Masons as the single State of New York, which has 98,180 Master Masons on its roll, and where the proportion of older Masons, by reason of the stability of population, is relatively greater. That embraced within this jurisdiction is more nomadic and float- ing, with constant changes of residence, which mixes up the entire fraternity; a large portion of the Craft being engaged in mining, from the Rocky Mountains to the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Ranges, and from the Isthmus of Panama and beyond to the South, to the Klondike and Alaska on the north. Its members are bound volumes of history within themselves, and are neither sheep or calf, and the Association is a circu- lating library among the Craft, while from the lips of its aged * Deceased. f Dropped from the Roll. 12 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE Brethren, wisdom and knowledge may be gathered by those who listen and learn. . Its badge is a mark of honor and faithful service which has been duly recognized, and he who travels and is rightfully eatitled to wear it upon his breast, will never be mistaken for a "fraud;" and if one ever should become an applicant for temporary relief, he will nearly always be found genuine. In the visitation to Lodges, its members everywhere receive that due fraternal attention and courtesy which their merits deserve, and where the work of the Master and officers of a Lodge is well performed, which they have been invited to witness, just praise and commendation is given by these veter- ans of the Craft, who are qualified to judge. Our duties to the sick, to the memory of the dead, and charity to the living are never neglected, while a vast amount of good is done by its members in their own unostentations manner, and in nowise interfering with the designs drawn upon the trestle boards of the Master and Wardens who carry forward the work entrusted to their charge. Its material is of the very best in the land, from the hum- blest Brother who toils with his hands, to the most eminent and distinguished statesmen, jurists, professional men, manu- facturers and merchants, officers and men in various capacities in the United States Army and Navy, who are all upon the Masonic level and borne upon the rolls of the Craftsmen of the various Grand Lodge Jurisdictions embraced within the Grand Jurisdiction of the MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST. No grander body of men and Masons exists upon the face of the earth, than our "Stiver Grays," our beloved brethren of this Association. Its mighty topo- graphical trestle-board corrugated with mountains and valleys, with thousands of Masters and Craftsmen working out the designs of the Grand Architect of the Universe upon it, fur- nishes the plans of a stupendous Masonic Temple, where hundreds of thousands of the "Brethren of the Mystic Tie" can live, labor, love, and dwell in the Golden Empire of Fraternity on the western slope of the American Continent. There are now upon its roll nearly 1,000 living of Active and Honorary members, of whom one-fourth are Grand and Past Grand Masters, all but seven of whom are within its territorial MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST. 13 jurisdiction. Not less than 150 of its Active members have been added to it from the beginning, whose admission fees have been paid by the R. V. Grand Secretary out of his salary, and he is the sole creditor of the Association. It may here be mentioned that he assisted in the temporary organization of the National Masonic Veteran Association of the United States at Washington, D. C., in October, 1889, and was elected Vice- President for the Pacific Coast. He drafted its Constitution, and under it was elected National President at the First Trien- nial Meeting held at Denver, Colorado, in August, 1892, and presided over the deliberation of that body at its second Trien- nial Meeting, held at Boston, Mass., in August, 1895, after which he was elected Grand Marshal of that body. The Golden Jubilees or 5Oth Anniversaries of the organiza- tion of Mullnomah Lodge No. i, at Oregon City, Oregon, on Sept. ii, 1896 (the first Masonic Lodge on the Pacific Coast), of Western Star Lodge No. 2, at Shasta, California, in October 1898 (both chartered by the Grand Lodge of Missouri), Cali- fornia Lodge No. i, at San Francisco, on November iyth, 1899 (chartered as No. 13 by the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia), Tehama Lodge No. 3, at Sacramento, Cal., on January 8th, 1900 (chartered as Connecticut Lodge No. 75 by the'Grand Lodge of Connecticut), and Benitia Lodge No. 5, at Benicia, Cal., on March 8, 1900 (organized as Pacific Lodge, a traveling Lodge, under Dispensation from the Grand Master of Louisiana) celebrated these joyous events with fervency and zeal worthy of the Craft, and in honor to their founders, the M. V. Grand President and other officers of this Masonic Veteran Association being present, including the R. V. Grand Secretary, who also delivered congratulatory addresses on three of the above occasions. It may here be stated that our Most Venerable Grand President, HENRY FAIRFAX WILLIAMS, was the first peti- tioner for the degrees of Masonry in California, in California Lodge No. i, came on the first steamer to enter the Golden Gate, the California, February 28, 1849, that brought the original charter of that Lodge. He being elected December 20, 1849, and made all the working tools of that Lodge and furnished the Bible upon which he was obligated. The father 14 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE of five boys and five girls who, with their mother, are all living and doing well. By reason of the large appropriations for the maintenance and support of the Masonic Widows and Orphans' Home, the Grand Lodge of California did not deem it expedient to expend any moneys for the celebration of its own Golden Jubilee, which occurred on April iQth, 1900, and it was post- poned to the centennial. Nevertheless it was commemorated by this Masonic Veteran Association by a fraternal visit to California Lodge No. i, of which our M. V. Grand President had been its worshipful Master also. Near the close of the year 1900, and of the igth century, Tuolumne Lodge, No. 8, at Sonora, Cal.; Corinthian Lodge, No. 9, at Marysville, Cal.; San Jose Lodge, No. 10, at San Jose, Cal.; and Willamette Lodge, No. n (now No. 2), at Portland, Ore., all chartered by the Grand Lodge of California on November ayth, 1850, have celebrated in a proper manner their Golden Jubilee on November 27th, 1900, at which this Masonic Veteran Association was duly represented. And thus has begun a never-ending round of jubilees of Masonic Lodges, which will continue as long as Old Father Time finds pleasure and occupation in unwinding the ringlets and count- ing the perennial growth of hair on the head of the Youthful Virgin who stands by the broken column and keeps the record of their work. There are Masonic Veteran Associations now in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illi- nois, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Geor- gia, east of the Mississippi River; in Minnesota, Iowa, Mis- souri, Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas, west of the Mississippi River, and next to our own Grand Jurisdiction of California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyo- ming, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska, Mexico, Cen- tral America, British Columbia, Hawaiian Islands, Guam, and the Philippines. Besides these, there is the Asociacion de Veteranos Masones de la Isla de Cuba, organized May 28th, 1893, in Havana, broken up, as all Masonic Bodies were and Masonry stamped out, by the Spanish Army during the late Spanish Cuban War, but since restored by the occupation of MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST. 15 \ the American forces, and of which M. W. George C. Perkins, P. G. M., our former M. V. Grand President, and the R. V. Grand Secretary, are honorary members, as the latter is also of many others. A Masonic Veteran Association has recently been formed in England, and there are others whose data has not yet come to hand. The R. V. Grand Secretary, the originator and one of the founders of the MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PA- CIFIC COAST, has filled that office from the very beginning, a period of twenty-two years. Of the twenty-two other found- ers of the Association, he has seen sixteen pass away, and two drop by the wayside, leaving only four others besides himself who brought the Association into being Past M. V. Grand Presidents SAMUEL SWIFT, JAMES M. MCDONALD, HENRY FAIRFAX WILLIAMS (still in office), and RICHARD HAYES MCDONALD and himself, still belonging to it. THE OBJECTS OF THE MASONIC VETERAN ASSO- CIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST. It is frequently asked by some who are disposed to cavil and object to it, "What are the benefits of this Organization?" as if it were a sort of health or life insurance concern, not for a moment considering whether they can be of any service or render any good to such an organization, composed of the best portion of the Fraternity, who have already spent at least the life of a generation in the cause of Freemasonry. To such, after an experience of twenty-two years, we have neither the time or the disposition to explain, or attempt to enlighten. It would be idle and foolish to endeavor to plate lead with gold, for it could not be made either useful or ornamental. They, and all of us, declared in our petitions, "that we were unbiased by friends and uninfluenced by mercenary motives, and freely offered ourselves as candidates for the mysteries of Masonry; that we were prompted to solicit this privilege by a favorable opinion conceived of the Institution, a desire for knowledge, and a sincere wish to be serviceable to our fellow- creatures" etc., and which this Masonic Veteran Association, as its base, has rigidly and unalterably adhered to. Some few others have forgotten or abandoned their base, and are no 16 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE longer borne upon its rolls. These are somewhat like Pat, who was bothered about the subject of a miracle. He was rather thick-headed and stupid, and went to his priest to in- quire, and said, "Father Kerrigan, I would like to have you exshplain to me phwat is a miracle?" Father Kerrigan tried his best to define and describe a miracle to him, but all in vain. Losing patience with Pat, he turned him around, facing from him, and administered a severe kick in Pat's rear, and asked Pat, "Did yez fale'that, Patrick?" "Faith and I did," said Pat. "Well, thin," said the priest, "it wud have bin a miracle if ye hadn't!" For our own satisfaction, let us see what it has accomplished during the twenty-two years of its existence: ist. It has, from a small beginning, become a powerful and influential institution for good, and commanding the esteem and veneration of the Craft, not only in our own country, but throughout the world, and set the bright example for many other Masonic Veteran Associations to follow. 2d. It has gathered up the biographies of its members, with their complete Masonic records of those who crossed the deserts and mountains, and braved the hardships and perils of the seas, to reclaim a land from savage barbarism and soli- tude and convert it into abodes of civilization with the devel- opment and production of the treasures of the earth. These records, preserved in its archives and engrossed upon its Certificates of membership which adorn hundreds of Lodges and homes, bear testimony of its usefulness, and having saved and preserved from being lost the histories of the lives of brethren who have been an honor to the Craft, to their coun- try, and mankind. They served as the principal material of the "HISTORY OF FIFTY YEARS OF MASONRY IN CAU- FORNIA," of which the R. V. Grand Secretary hereof was the Bditor, and many of whose portraits and biographic sketches and Masonic records adorn that work. jd. It has and will have celebrated and commemorated the anniversaries and Golden Jubilees of Grand and Subordinate Lodges throughout its Jurisdiction, and furnished the Corn, wine, and oil, the products of California, to Grand Lodges in the laying of Corner-stones and dedications of Masonic Temples and State Capitols and other public buildings, not only in our MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST. 17 own Jurisdiction, but beyond the Rocky Mountains, along the Atlantic shores, and by the banks of the Great River, the "Father of Waters," which now "unvexed" pours its im- mense volume into the Gulf. j.th. It has cooperated with other Bodies of Masonry, in extending sympathy to our oppressed brethren in other lands, and received their grateful acknowledgments for our fraternal words of comfort and cheer. While participating in the "Re- ception of the Heart" of our murdered and martyred Brother, ex Governor YGNACIO HERRERA Y CAIRO, and its final deposit beneath the "Foundation Stone" laid by our Past Most Venerable Grand President, and Past Grand Master, HIRAM NEWTON RUCKER, of the Grand Lodge of California, upon which in due time a monument is to be erected and dedicated to one who laid down his life for Liberty and Ma- sonry "rather than forfeit his integrity," this Association has become identified with one of the noblest Masonic objects, second only in the history and traditions of the Craft, to that of the Master Builder of the Temple of Solomon, and which, for all time, will be treasured as the noblest example of Ma- sonic fidelity and integrity, since the erection and dedication of the mighty edifice upon Mt. Moriah at the Holy City of Jerusalem. $th. More than any other Masonic Organization in propor- tion to its numbers, it has been represented in goodly attend- ance at the funerals of our deceased Brethren, and in showing respect to the memory of those who deservedly and rightfully were entitled to receive the last sad tribute of fraternal af- fection. 6th. It has unostentatiously and without interfering in any manner with the rights or the prerogatives of the Masters, or in the relief work of Lodges, aided Brethren along the rugged pathway of life in bettering their condition; helped to secure positions for those honestly seeking to earn their bread; given aid, encouragement, and advice to the sons and daughters of those of the "Household of the Faithful," afforded them facilities for earning a livelihood, and, in advance, procured for them protection and kindly aid from the Brethren of the Craft, who have ever been responsive to our requests to give, them courteous and fraternal attention; and for which :we 1 8 BRIEF HISTORY OF THE have received the heartfelt gratitude of the sons and daughters of our Masonic Brethren. jth. It has furnished Letters of Credence and Introduction to Brethren that are worthy, when desiring to travel, facili- tated their introduction and examination when visiting other Masonic Bodies, and, in this respect, its usefulness has been felt, and continues to be felt, around the Globe. 8th. It has frequently, by invitation of their Masters, vis- isited the Lodges, witnessed their work, giving due enco- miums of praise when deserved, and in a testimonial manner; while it has been received with honors, and its members treated in the most hospitable, distinguished, and courteous man- ner possible; and at the tables of refreshment, received the highest honors, which have been most gratefully accepted by the "SiLVKR GRAYS" of this Association. yth. It has, for many years, held its Annual Grand Lodge of Sorrow, with appropriate ceremonies and exercises, in honor of the memory of our departed Brethren, where the most eloquent, tender, pathetic eulogies have been pronounced by the most able and distinguished members of our Heaven Kndowed Fraternity, and which have been embellished by exquisite music and sweetest plaintive song. loth. Its badge or jewel, whether worn by an active or an Honorary Member in attending work in Lodge, at banquets, or funerals, and to its wearer, is manifested especial fraternal respect. It is the mark of a well-spent Masonic life. It in- dicates that the wearer has earned it by faithful labor and service, and has been deemed worthy and entitled to it as a reward of merit, for duties well and faithfully performed. It is now worn upon the breasts of its members in many places beyond our Jurisdiction in our own land and in foreign coun- tries, and has made the circuit of the Globe. There are many other things which might be mentioned in connection with the usefulness of the Masonic Veteran Asso- ciation of the Pacific Coast and the broad field in which it labors, without interfering with the other workmen of the Craft. There is no place for a dull-headed, shrivel-hearted, preten- tious sham, or a mean, selfish man, in it. "The liberal soul shall be made fat; and he that watereth others, shall also be MASONIC VETERAN ASSOCIATION OF THE PACIFIC COAST. 19 watered himself," said King Solomon. Nowhere in the Great Light do we find any murmuring or complaint of the extravagance of Aaron when he had about three gallons of ointment to pomade his beard with; but it is held up as a sample, with its perfume and spices of myrrh, cinnamon, and sweet calamus, as a symbol to us as Masons and Brethren to dwell together in unity, and as being good and very pleasant. The only man who ever did complain of extravagance of this nature, was the wretch Judas Iscariot, who sold his brother and betrayed his Master (which all honorable men, Hebrew and Christian alike, condemn), not that he cared that Mary's hair oil, perfumed with costly spikenard, should be sold for Charity, "but that he himself carried the bag." He, how- ever, made good use] of the cable tow when he went and hanged himself, and suspended further operations on his de- spicable line, and an example that should be followed by all who would be intentionally false to their obligations and be- tray the Craft.

SHERMAN, 33, Right VenerableJ^Grand Secretary of the Masonic Veteran Association of the Pacific Coast for 22 Years, and Past National President of the Masonic Veteran Association of the United States.

The advanced age of Veteran Masons, many of whom are feeble in health, impoverished in means, and unable to pay dues or attend meetings, and a greater death rate than any other class or body of Masons, requires that the jurisdiction of the Masonic Veteran Association of the Pacific Coast shall be jealously guarded and held intact until there are greater num- bers of Master Masons from which to recruit its members, and of which it shall be its own judge.

And it shall be the imperative duty of each and every member of this Association .to attend the funerals of its deceased members, unless excused by the President, and only extreme cases of business emerg- encies, sickness, absence at a distance, or other reasonabie cause shall be deemed a valid excuse for non-attendance and failure to pay the last sad duty to the memories of our deceased brother members.
