Book Title: Golden Jubilee Souvenir Book

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

WE WISH to express our sincere appreciation to those who have contributed
information, photographs and other data, thereby enabling the History Committee
to compile the necessary materials to make this Souvenir Book both interesting
and instructive to the members and friends of Traver Lodge, No. 294, who may
have occasion to look through its pages for a glimpse into the past.

   While the data may not be complete in every detail, yet the information as to
time, place and dates may be relied upon to be authentic as far as it is humanly
possible to  ascertain.

   We must bear in mind that the lapse of time, the ruthless hand of ignorance
and the devastations of fire and war have laid waste and destroyed many valuable
monuments of antiquity on which the utmost exertions of human genius were employed.

   Freemasonry and the history of Traver Lodge, notwithstanding, has still
survived.
   To Mrs. H. P. Peacock, of Bakersfield, we are indebted for the picture of Old
Traver Creamery where Traver Lodge held its meetings for many years.

   To Brother Christopher Dudley, we are indebted for his contribution, a book
entitled "Fifty Years of Masonry in California," published in 1898. We have
derived much valuable information from its pages. Incidentally, Brother Dudley
was a charter member of Traver Lodge in 1889, demitted to Reedley Lodge, No.
304, in 1891, and served as Master of that lodge in 1895-6-7-8. He is living at
present at Pacific Grove, Calif.

   Brother J. C. McCubbin has contributed liberally from his fund of knowledge
and his store of relics and souvenirs. The History Committee appreciates the
assistance rendered by this esteemed brother who wears the 50 year emblem
presented by Traver Lodge in 1938.

   Brother Forrest Stirewalt has been a source of information to the writer, and
to him we say, "Thanks a lot."

   To the Kingsburg Recorder, Edwin E. Jacobs, and John E. Lenker, we express
our appreciation for the help given in compiling and printing this booklet.

                   THE HISTORY COMMITTEE,
                   Fred Schaffer, Chairman.
