Past Masters of Washington Lodge 70
(updated Jan 2024)
Washington Lodge #70 has a long history of its Brothers being elected as Master only once. No Brother has served more than one term since 1900 (longer than for any other Lodge in the state.) This is not a comment on the abilities of those Masters; it is a testament to the number of men who have been willing and able to assume the responsibilities.
