EAST TEXAS FAMILY RECORDS VOL 8b NO 3, FALL 1984
(Panola County - Haston Twomey, Masonic Leader --- continued)
for the $150.00 of appropriation made by the 49th Annual Grand Chapter. Apparently
this appropriation was to help Carthage Chlapter uget on its feet,
financially. Mr. CHADWICK asked that the money be sent to "Champion TWOMEY for
his relief". The motion must have carried, though that decision is not clear
in the Minutes.
Mr. Haston TWOMEY died June 14, 1899, and the July Cllapter meeting voted to
donate $20.00 which the deceased brother owed for lodge dues. A Resolutions
Committee was named but their names were not given.
Later, on December 27, 1899, the Chapter read a Statement from the Grand
High Priest, J. C. KIDD, that tie "Grand Chapter lnad sent $300.00 for the family
of Past Grand High Priest Haston TWOMEY."
Mr. TWOMEY is buried at Woods Cemetery, and his gravestone gives dates:
March 4, 1824 -- June 14, 1899; his wife Emily, is there also, February 8, 1822November
16, 1903.
