Compilers Notes:
<Go to
Top>
- the Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, is the governing
body of the
Royal Arch chapters in its jurisdiction. The Royal Arch Chapters in
Iowa are subordinate to the Most Excellent Grand Chapter of Royal Arch
Masons of Iowa. Royal Arch Masonry is the second of the York Rite
bodies,
Symbolic Masonry being the first. It is separate from Symbolic Masonry,
but almost as old. Royal Arch Masonry is composed of four degrees:
Mark Master, Virtual Past Master, Most Excellent Master, and Royal
Arch.
These degrees continue and expand upon the lessons taught in the Blue
Lodge.
- the information in this compilation is only of Royal
Arch Masons,
and not of the AF&AM Lodges (Ancient Free & Accepted Masons) in
Iowa.
- the entries are not necessarily in alphabetical order
- only names appearing in the sourced books are on this list, it is
very
likely does not represent all men affiliated with the Royal Arch Masons
in Iowa for these years. Some chapters did not 'report in' or send
'returns'
each year.
- the dates given are as recorded in the sources
- consult original records for additional information or to verify the
information in this data-base. I've made every attempt to be accurate,
but in an undertaking of this size, there may be errors.
