Commemorative Plaques & Flagholders
Free and Accepted Masons F. & A.M. |
 |
Whole books have been written on the subject of Free Masonry. In fact, I have one here in front of me, but it does not seem to answer the questions I am asking. I want to know when it was founded and what its essential purposes are. I am interested in the history of the organization. Anyone who can write up such a brief explanation for this page will be appreciated. While the Masons are present in most communities and have been around a long time, flagholders with their insignia are rare. Much more common in the masonic emblem engraved on the tombstones. Very frequently the spouse will also be an Eastern Star member, its associated women's group. |

located in New England. |
