Missionary Lodge was not located in Winn Parish.  It was located in Catahoula
Parish.  The question is where the location of the Lodge would be today if the
Lodge had remained active.  It would probably be in western LaSalle Parish,
not far from present day Tullos, La.  This logic is based on the names of some
of its early members and that is the reason it is posted in the Winn Parish
archives.
