Join us tonight at Hartwell Lodge No. 101 as we present Brother Gene Lavoy Jordan with his 50-year pin, recognizing a half-century as a Master Mason.

Reaching fifty years in the craft is a significant milestone, and we want a full room to honor him properly. Fellowship starts at 6:00 PM, with the ceremony to follow during our regular meeting. All masons in good standing are welcome, including Brethren from neighboring lodges.

Share a meal, catch up with the Brethren, and help us celebrate Brother Jordan’s decades of service.

On Saturday, we had the privilege of raising Cole Ford to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason.

It's a day a lodge doesn't forget, and it doesn't happen alone. Our thanks go to every brother who filled a station, sat on the sidelines, and put in the work to make the degree what it should be, and to the visiting brethren who traveled to be with us. Your presence honored Brother Ford and this lodge both.

Congratulations, Brother Ford.

We had a full lodge for our Entered Apprentice Degree last night, thanks in large part to the Brethren who traveled to join us.

Thank you to every visiting Brother who traveled to Oxford. Your presence always enriches the degree, and last night was no exception.

Thank you also to our Hartwell brothers who supported from the sidelines, prepared the meal, and contributed to the evening’s success. These efforts may not appear in the minutes, but they are essential to the lodge.

In 1861, the Grand Lodge of Alabama set aside $2,500 to care for Alabama volunteers who were sick or wounded, and issued dispensations for nineteen Army Lodges so men in the field could still meet.

One of them, Confederate Lodge No. 292, sat down at Fort Morgan. The rest moved with the units they served.

Whatever a man thought about the war, the Fraternity gave the same answer it always gives. Take care of the ones in front of you. Alabama Masonry came out of those years with more members than it went in with.

That's the tradition Hartwell has carried on Main Street for a long time now.

The traveling gavel is at Hartwell Lodge No. 101.

Thank you to Eastaboga Lodge for the hospitality last night. Good conversation and great fellowship.

07/20/2026

Reminder that our stated meeting is this evening. Doors open at 6:00 tonight. Gavel at 7:00.

Come early if you can. The hour before the meeting is where most of the real fellowship happens. Coffee, catching up, and building real connection with your brethren.

Visiting Brethren, you always have a seat. If you're a Master Mason in good standing passing through Calhoun County or a mason of good standing from a local lodge, come sit with us.

A detail from the old directories: when Hartwell Lodge No. 101 first appears in the national Masonic records, it's listed at "Oxford, Benton County."

There is no Benton County in Alabama today. The legislature renamed it Calhoun on January 29, 1858 — which means this lodge was already at work in Oxford before the county had its current name.

Back then, the Brethren met on the first Friday of the month. Today it's Mondays at 7:00, and the work hasn't changed: taking good men and making them better.

Curious what that actually means? Send us a message.
