Masonic Lodges in Clinton County has quite a bit of info on a couple of lodges. Their link to IowaMasons.org is useful as well. They were nice enough to send us a list of Past Masters of Western Star Lodge #100. Rod Alexander, the current secretary, writes:
"We have some information in several file drawers with one member on each page. Items are when the brother joined free masonry, were he worked, and several other items."
