1861 Alabama, Dallas County, Masonic Item#225240840
This is an 1861 letter (front and back), Dallas County, Alabama, that is an indenture for the Richmond Lodge No.
282. This is a rental agreement between the Masonic Lodge members and Mark Etheridge for the second story of
Etheridge's second story of his new carriage shop, in the town of Richmond. The lease is for five years. The leasor is
responsible to keep the roof of said Masonic Hall full water proof and a clear entrance to the building where said
Masonic Hall is situated. Also, to keep in good repair, the doors and blinds appertaining to the entrance, and said
hall. This contract or indenture was signed by appropriate parties on November 16th, 1861. A margin tear here and
there where folded, nothing significant! A nice fraternal order masonic item from the Civil War era! Successful
