Brother Tony York Presents Gavel Set to Mount Moriah #39

December 15, 2013

At the December Stated Meeting, Brother Tony York presented a Gavel Set to Mount Moriah Lodge, to be shown in our display case outside the lodge room.
The inscription reads:

This Gavel Set is made of stone from the quarry in Jerusalem that was said to have supplied the stone for the building of King Solomon’s Temple.

This set was presented as a token of friendship by Worshipful Brothers David J. York and Thomas G. York, Past Masters of Summit City Lodge #170 F.&A.M., Fort Wayne, Indiana.

David and Thomas are the Uncle and Father of Anthony York, a member of [Mount Moriah] Lodge.
