All that remains today is the doorsteps. The building was removed years ago. From the Lineville Headlight: Rock Mills, Ala., Jan. 23rd, 1913 The Masonic Conference just closed at. Rock Mills was one of the best ever held in this district; much good was accomplished for the fraternity and alt members went away feeling glad they had spent these few days with the clever people at Rock Mills. The Conference was attended by the usual, number of masons, representing the various lodges in the conference. Rev. T. O. Jones, District Lecturer, for 11th District, under whose care the conference was happily pleased, did all he could to make it a good as well as profitable meeting. The following officers were elected: W. C. Lane, W. M. George Gregg, S. W. W. C. S. Robertson, J. W. Nixon Lucas, Secty. and Treas. Dr. C. B. Welch, S D. A. J. Pike, J. D J. L. Gregg, S. S. J. P. Radney, J. S. Rev. C. B. Cole, Chaplain. Tyler of Hardy-Howle Lodge. Tyler for next conference. F. M. Handley, S. D. Lewis and W. Holdridge were appointed Finance Committee J. L. Gregg, A. R. Stephens, and C. C. Harrington were appointed Committee on Resolutions. The next conference goes to Hardy-Howle Lodge, of Delta, in Clay County. Among the many things done was the following resolution of thanks to the Editors, which I think was very appropriate, and the Conference would like to have said more: To the W. M. Wardens. and Brethren of Randolph and Clay County Masonic Conference: Be it resolved that the conference tender its many thanks to the newspaper Editors of Randolph and Clay counties for their valuable assistance in making known the meeting of cur conference and other assistance rendered us.
