Masons of Note for August

Sherman N. Miller, P.M. and Past Secretary of Andrew H. Hershey Lodge No. 764, Lancaster, is 94, a Mason for 65 years, and has conferred 114 Master Mason's Degrees. That, in itself, is interesting; but what is especially interesting is that he has kept a log listing every M.M. Degree he conferred, upon whom he conferred it, the date, and place it was conferred. Bro. Miller was made a Mason in York Lodge No. 266, but sought a demit to become a Warrant Member and Officer of Andrew H. Hershey Lodge.

Kenneth M. Hohe, P.M., was made a Mason in Lehigh Lodge No. 326, Trexlertown, in 1953, while serving in the U.S. Navy Seabees. Ten years later, in March of 1963, when he was a civilian and serving as Senior Warden of the Lodge, he conferred all three Degrees, including the Charges, in the same evening. Now, 40 years after that on Mar. 4 of this year and as a 50-year member, Bro. Hohe again conferred a Master Mason's Degree with the Charge.
