100 Years Of Kinta Lodge No 3212 EA
This book, kindly donated by the Secretary to the Free Masonry Lodge. After the traditional messages and Foreword, it gives a detailed history of the Kinta Lodge from 1907 to 2007 and includes a full reprint of their Golden Anniversary book, "The First 50 Years" with sidelined notes.
It then provides additional material relating to the first 50 years, enhancing the available information. This includes names of the Lodge Officers from 1907, amplifying notes of events in the different years and photographs of many of the Past Masters, the first photograph being F Hilton in 1923.
Chapter 4 documents the second 50 years, again with information relating to the officers elected for each year, photographs of almost all of the Grand Master and details of the membership numbers including the status of new candidates for membership. Each year is on one page and also provides notes of key events during the year.
Chapter 5 turns to the buildings that the Lodge has used and built as temples over the 100 years, with photographs and/or sketches of every one since the very beginning. This trail ends with the current Lodge in Tiger Lane, designed by Danish architect B M Iversen, the foundation stone of which was laid on 10 October 1931. The temple was consecrated on 14 May 1932. The chapter ends with a description of this lodge.
Chapter 6 entitled "Pot Pourri" includes a mass of intricate detail about the Lodge and the book completes with Acknowledgements, Letters of Interest and a Register of Members from No 001, a Mr Thomas Bennett, an engineer who joined on 6 April 1907.
For anyone interested in the Lodge history or the Freemasons, this is the book to read.
