Davis Bequests for Deceased Masons' Children

Two grants from the 2002 Samuel Davis Bequest were presented recently.

One grant was presented to Mrs. Amy Long (center in right picture), widow of the late Bro. Gregory E. Long of Edenburg Lodge No. 550, Knox, to assist in providing an educational fund for their two children: Brian, age 11 (front in picture), and Elizabeth, age 16 (not available for picture). The Worshipful Master of 2002, Jerry D. Belloit, P.M. (left), and Glenn L. Farren (right), D.D.G.M., 23rd Masonic District, presented the grant.

Another grant was to Michael Bibel (second from right in photo left), a student at Bentworth High School. He is the son of the late Bro. George Bibel, who was a member of Beallsville Lodge No. 237, and Elizabeth Bibel (second from left). The Worshipful Master of 2002, Alfred L. Rasel, II, P.M. (left), and Thomas M. Gasmire, D.D.G.M., 29th Masonic District (right), presented the grant.

The grant, established in the early 1900's is designated to assist minor children of deceased Master Masons until they reach the age of 18.
