Jane Caroline Reed Copy Book: Excerpt from Haste not! Rest not by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, 1769
Lucy and Jane Reed |
Meekly fear the storms of fate;
Duty be thy polar guide;-
Do the right whate'er betide!
Haste not! rest not! conflicts past,
God shall crown they work at last."
Goethe

Masonic Record of my Great Grandfather, Amos Putnam
Cornerstone of Masonic Building, Houlton, ME: Photo by Jason Howe |
A friend on Facebook posted this picture of the cornerstone to the Masonic Building in Houlton Maine. The first floor is the Temple Cinema and the Monument Masonic Lodge #96 still takes up the third floor. I mentioned that my Great Grandfather Amos Putnam would have been involved in the Masons at that time and he gave me the link to the to the Genealogy & Family Information of the Grand Lodge in Maine website. I was able to find my Great Grandfather's, Granduncle's and 2nd Great Grandfather's records there. Here is a transcription of Amos's and I will do the others in future posts. I may have posted this before for Amos, but not tied to this source.
