R.A.O.B. Lodges
« on: Thursday 25 October 18 18:11 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace any information regarding two RAOB Lodges that are no longer in existence.  First, here's a little background.

On Tuesday, before our meeting this week we were visited by a lady whose father was a member of our Order.  He passed away some time ago and she brought with her 3 jewels that belonged to him.

I am trying to locate two Lodges that have since closed.  The COMRADES LODGE N°3617 (around 1949-50) and the JOHN PALMER LODGE (No number but dated around 1961). 

I know this is a long shot but does anyone know anything about these Lodges please?  We intend to mount these items and present them to her as a precious precious keepsake of her father and it would be nice if I could get some background on his Buffalo career to go with it.

Hi k1mitchell

Welcome to Rootschat  ;D

Does the Order not have an archivist or librarian you can contact?

Many thanks for the links.  i am awaiting my members login approval from GLE and will get the details from them about where the Lodges were and when they closed.  in the meantime I am hoping that someone may know more about these Lodges.
