You and your lodge can now own a piece of our history by purchasing a print of Nebraska’s first Grand Master, Robert C. Jordan, produced from the portrait in the Grand Lodge Office in Lincoln.
Gifted to the Grand Lodge in 1884, Jordan’s portrait was recently restored by the Nebraska Masonic Foundation after years of neglect resulting in faded colors and holes in the canvas. Today, the painting is repaired and exhibits depth, detail and more vibrant colors.
The Foundation also produced 25 high-quality prints on acid-free, archival paper to withstand the passage of time for you and your brothers to enjoy for decades to come. They are available at https://nebraskamasonicfoundation.com/ for $149.95 if picked up at the Grand Lodge Office, or mailed securely at $159.95. Sales of the prints will help the Foundation defray restoration costs.
The prints are ready to be framed at a standard 16” x 20” size with a numbered and signed certificate of authenticity.
The portrait was presented to the Grand Lodge of Nebraska by M.W.Bro. George Lininger on behalf of Omaha artist Mrs. Edwin Davis.
The Biography of Eli Bruce, The Masonic Martyr
The latest scanned book from the Nebraska Masonic Foundation Library and Museum is now available here: http://nebraskamasonicfoundation.com/bookscans/EliBruceMorris1861.pdf
This 1861 edition by Bro. Rob Morris tells the story of the Sheriff of Canandaigua, NY and his imprisonment and trial during the Morgan Affair. The Sheriff was a member of the Craft and refused to surrender his integrity despite cruel treatment by the newly formed Anti-Masonic party.
On November 1, 2022, Brother Hal Huff, Waterloo Lodge No. 102, exhibited great proficiency in the Master Mason degree and was awarded the Grand Masters proficiency coin by Deputy Grand Custodian Charlie Odorizzi.
