Decatur Masonic roster recalls Rising Sun No 29 history

John G. McGehee preserves a 39 year old scroll listing two hundred officers of Decatur’s Rising Sun Lodge No 29 from 1827 onward. The article traces founders and kinship links among Dancys Sykes Lancaster and others, notes lodge relocations through Decatur venues, and explains the 1930s merger with Albany Lodge No 491.

Rising Sun Lodge Officers 1827 to 1927 Record

The record notes officers of Rising Sun Lodge from 1827 to 1927, highlighting Worshipful Master Lai family members and D. D. McGehee who served as Worshipful Master in 1911. S.I. Nichi was Senior Warden and Charles Kent Junior Warden, with the McGehees arriving from Kentucky in 1901 and D. D. McGehee entering the DeKalb furniture trade. John G. McGehee has been city personnel director since March 1962.
