Recently posted on a local page is this really interesting gravesite in the Steele Creek area. The dates associated with Brother Cathey's life actually even pre-date the official founding of our Grand Lodge here in NC. Actually, with St. John's Lodge in Wilmington being the first Lodge chartered in 1754, this gentleman could've been one of the earliest Masons in our great state.
Just another example of the vast amount of history associated with our Organization.
