Synopsis

This book is a record of the proceedings of the ninth triennial session of the General Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star. The Order was established in the late 19th century to form a ladies’ auxiliary for Freemasons that would focus on the principles of brotherly love, relief, and truth. During the meeting, topics such as emergency relief, recommendations concerning dues and the ritual, and the reorganization of Grand Chapters were discussed. The session also included several addresses of welcome from local officials and a report from the Grand Matron, summarizing the organization's growth and highlighting recent events. The book includes minutes of the meeting, which revolved around questions of eligibility, establishing new chapters, and proposed changes to the Constitution and Ritual of the organization.
