THE
MASONIC MUTUAL AID ASSOCIATION
In October, 1885, the Masonic Mutual
Aid Association was organized for Masons only. The record made has been quite
satisfactory to the promoters, who are among the prominent members of the
craft. Graded assessments have been adopted, and the proceeds have been
allotted in this proportion: 90 per cent to the Mortuary Fund and 10 per cent to
the Reserve Fund, to be used for the establishment and support of the widows
and orphans of deceased master Masons. There are now nearly 1,000 members,
representing $3,000,000 of insurance. Following are the officers and Trustees:
Hon. W. T. Garratt, President; Hon. Jacob H. Neff, Vice-President; Chas. C.
Wadsworth, M. D., Medical Director; Wm. A. Davies, Secretary; Joseph Elfelt, Treasurer. Trustees: D. C. Allen, Franklin H. Day,
Joseph Elfelt, Daniel H. Everett, F. Hagerman, Jr.,
Columbus Waterhouse. Home office, 106 Post street, S.
