WHAT OUR Lg^ES ARE DOING LINCOLN LODGE NO. 34 A RARITY IN MASONIC HISTORY Occasional!;,- we observe in cor.l’cri i“g cf degrees that a father may initiate, pass and raise bis son, or a brother may do the same to his own brother. This is not an uncommon occurrence in Masonry. But when an eldest brother performs it to SIX of his younger brothers who take the degrees altogether and at the same time, that becomes a rarity. In fact we have never come across incidents of this kind in this or in any other Grand Masonic Jurisdiction. This unique feature was performed in Lincoln Lodge No. 34 by Worshipful Brother Purisimo Ramos, Past Master of the same, who. by special dispensation, consecutively initiated, passed and raised his six brothers namely, Eugenio, Augusto, Alfredo, Arturo, Jose and Benjamin. To the Ramos Brothers, therefore, belongs this distinction Pace 200 THE CABLETOW of rare masa conferral of brothers that seals the ties of family and fraternal affection. Their father, the late Worshipful Brother Ruperto Ramos, was a Past Master and one of the founders of Lincoln Lodge No. 34. If he were alive, undoubtedly he would have conferred the degrees himself upon his six sons and thus would have made him far happier and more contented seeing all of his sons joined Masonry before he joined that Celestial Lodge above where the Great Architect of the Universe is the Supreme Master. We entertain high hopes for the younger Ramoses to follow the footsteps, not only of their late father, but also of their illustrious brother, Purisimo Ramos 33?, A. & A. S. R. who has deservedly attained almost all that one can aspire for in Masonic endeavors. — Desiderio Hebron, P.M. THE GRAND LODGE OF A. F. & A. M. of Wyoming ERVIN E.
