Source: The original booklet, "Masonic Directory of Herkimer County 1912", published by the Press of The Journal and Courier Co., Little Falls, N.Y., 1912, was provided by William McKerrow, our Towns of Newport and Norway Section Editor. It was typed by Dan O'Brien. Dan's original typescript was an exact facsimile, which I unfortunately could not present on the web in its original form. If you haven't done so already, check out Dan's stirring tribute to his great-great uncle, Colonel Timothy O'Brien, commander of Company A, 152nd N.Y. S. Volunteers.
Bill, Dan and I hope many of you with "late-arriving", as well as "late-staying", ancestors
find this particular resource useful. Your ancestor or relative had to be sponsored and fill out an application in his
own hand to become a Mason, so the genealogical value of this resource is high, and sometimes unparalleled. You can talk
to the officers of the local Masonic Lodge where you live about the steps and letters required in researching your
ancestor with the name and number of his lodge in hand. We look forward to someday receiving more listings of the men
who joined our noble fraternal organizations.
