Dates: 1830 - 1863

Minute book of Washington Royal Arch Masons Chapter No. 29, Cayuga, Hinds County, which was organized November 7, 1830. The latest entry, dated May 11, 1863, was made by a Union soldier from the state of Iowa who stated in effect that as a brother Mason he had appropriated six yards of toweling from the meeting hall for the benefit of Union soldiers. Many of the pages have been pasted over, as the book was used in a later period as a recipe book.
