Hi Ami,

I saw your reply concerning the list of Mason members and wonder if you can
help me with a related (sort of) problem.


I am the unofficial historian of our small town.  I have pictures of  (and
have recently learned the identity of) an IOOF lodge that was functional  here
during 1917-1919 (and perhaps earlier or longer).  The lodge was  identified as
the Brentsville Lodge 77 IOOF, Brentsville, VA and may have been  also called
the "Woodsman Lodge."  I know a large number of our residents  were members,
including Mr. Grady Shoemaker.  I am trying to find anything  about the lodge
of historical interest such as year it was started, year ended,  why it ended,
etc.  Do you have any information that can be released to the  general public
on this installation that can be included in our community  history?

Best regards,
