Ocala Chapter No. 13 Royal Arch Masons

Ocala Chapter History

Ocala Chapter was chartered in 1888. The Minutes of the Chapter prior to April 16, 1906 were lost and are no longer available. The Chapter appears to have been inactive for a period prior to April 17, 1906. Former members of Ocala Chapter No. 13 petitioned the Grand Chapter for restoration of their Chapter charter. On April 17, 1906, this request was granted by Grand High Priest O. S. Wright. On Aril 24, 1906, with GHP Wright presiding, the line officers were elected and installed. The following installed officers were:

G. S. Scott	High Priest
A. E. Gehrig	King
I. Sherwin	Scribe
