Excerpt from History of Lodge No; 43, F.& A. M., Being the Records of the First Century of Its Existence: Also a Report of the Proceedings of the Centennial Celebration, Biographical Sketches of Its Charter Members, Past Masters, and Present Officers, and a Complete List of the Members of the Lodge
At the stated meeting of Lodge No. 43, F. & A. M., held at their Hall, on Wednesday evening, December 8, 1875, a resolution was offered and unanimously adopted, appointing a committee of five of the oldest Past Masters and members of the Lodge to prepare and have published in pamphlet form a History of Lodge No. 43, they reporting to the Lodge before printing the same.
This committee, after some consideration of the subject, took no further action, and the resolution was not carried into effect.
At the stated meeting of the Lodge held March 14, 1883, the mover of the above resolution again brought the subject to the attention of the Lodge, as the following extract from the Minutes of that date will show:
"Brother P. M. Dr. George R. Welchans stated that in two years the Lodge will be called upon to celebrate its Centennial Anniversary, and spoke of the importance of having the History of the Lodge prepared for that time; he therefore moved that Bro. Secretary Hugh S. Gara be appointed to prepare the History.
"The motion was unanimously agreed to."
At the stated meeting of February 13, 1884, Bro. Secretary Gara informed the Lodge that it was impossible for him to perform this task, and asked to be relieved of the same. Worshipful Master Bro. James B. Strine having, with great reluctance, accepted Bro. Gara's declination, was pleased to appoint the undersigned as his successor.
