#16, Helena, Arkansas - joined in 1852 - from Stonewall of the West:
Patrick Cleburne & The Civil War, by Craig L. Symonds (pages
32-33: "He was particularly committed, never missed a meeting, and
quickly became a leader in the local lodge. He was elected master in early
1853, and later that year he 'took the sublime degree of Royal Arch Mason'
conferred upon him at a special ceremony by Arkansas luminary Albert
Pike." He was also elected in 1853 to deliver the keynote speech at
an annual convention of Arkansas and Mississippi freemasons, where,
"In a forceful and direct style, he offered a talk dominated by
high-minded platitudes about the principles of the Masonic order,
'Brotherly love, friendship, charity, and truth'..." |
