Former Governor Gil- christ introduced a resolution in the 1902 meeting of the Grand Lodge urging that a home _ be built in this state. A fund was created and the present site was bought and officially opened on, April 7, 1919. The institution has grown from a site of five acres and one building to 15 acres and six buildings and now represents an investment of about $275,000. Certain needs requiring the outlay of capital sums are de- tailed and there is an urgent in- vitation for all members of the fraternity and others who are interested to visit the home. Among the needs listed were ten- his courts. The booklet was hard- ly off the press before this need was met by a generous donation , eecedveceroces way, 755-ft. deep.
