Past Masters


Western Star's Past Masters

ITEMS TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND SOME DETAILS ABOUT THIS LIST:

  • On March 17th 2015 the Brothers of Sulgrave Lodge #696 officially merged with Western Star - you will find Sulgrave's Past Masters listed here from 1925 - 2015 in RED.

  • If the Past Master is Underlined that means a picture will appear if you click on it.

  • We have several Father / Son Past Masters. When known, these are marked (F) for Father and (S) for Son.

  • When dates are separated by a hyphen it generally means the Master served a 2 year term without a new election.

  • You will find a gap of Past Masters from 1828 to 1848 - to learn more about this check out our history page under the section named: "A few more details about the founding Past Masters, the Morgan Affair and an Oak Tree"
