A Masonic Gem discovered at the Arizona State Archives!

The Arizona State Archives are located at the corner of Jefferson & 19th Ave in downtown Phoenix.   It is free to get in and do research and some of the collection is available online at - Phoenix. https://www.azlibrary.gov/arm/research-archives
      During my time researching today, I found a few interesting books related to Masonry in Arizona.  But perhaps the most interesting book - was a copy of the Arizona No. 2 bylaws for the year of 1885.  This was just 6 years after our Lodge formed under the grand Lodge of California. This is the oldest Copy I have ever seen personally.

Vice President Marshall Helps Lay Cornerstone in Phoenix, Arizona

In October of 1915, Vice President Thomas R. Marshall was made the Grand Orator for the Grand Lodge of Arizona for a special occasion. In this capacity, he would give an address at the cornerstone laying of the new Trinity Episcopal Church in Phoenix. Services were led by then Grand Master - George Alexander Bridge. The Grand Lodge and other bodies assembled at the Masonic Temple and then, formed a procession up to the location of the new church at First Avenue and Roosevelt street in Phoenix where over 1,000 spectators gathered. Two articles about the cornerstone ritual appeared in the paper - one article appeared in the Arizona Republican On October 29th, 1915 - 2 days before the ceremony which was to take place on October 31st, 1915. And another, in the Arizona Republican on November 1st, 1915 the day after.

Congratulations to our newest EA!
