Memorial Lodge No. 1, A.F. & A.M.
DENVER, COLORADO
The need for better Masonic Burial Services for sojourning Masons prompted the suggestion to the newly formed Fraternal Relations Committee of the Denver Masonic Officers Association, that they formulate some plan whereby a Lodge could be formed for the sole purpose of courtesy services for Lodges outside the area. The committee gathered information from other Jurisdictions to serve as background then met with the people most likely to be concerned with the formation and workings of such a Lodge. The result of this work was presented to the Masonic Service Association and the Masonic Officers Association for their approval and support and happily met with both. The necessary amendments to the Rook of Constitutions were formulated and filed with the Grand Secretary for presentation at the Grand Lodge session in January, 1961. The Bylaws of the Lodge were written and a campaign for membership was begun. A meeting of the members was held in December, 1960, and Officers were elected to represent the petitioning group. The Officers elected were Alan E. Hatfield, P.M. (Harmony No. 61), Worshipful Master; Raymond G. Schaeffler, P.M. (South Gate No. 138), Senior Warden; J. B. Steacy, P.M. (Lakewood No. 170), Junior Warden; Robert C. Reynolds, P.M. (Friendship No. 185), Treasurer; Edward G. Neumann, P.M. (South Gate No. 138).
