Back of Photo

My husband and I have had an old photograph for many years and recently we found that an identical one hangs in the Masonic Lodge at Old Beech Church, on Long Hollow Pike.

These men are standing outside the rear of Old Beech Church, dressed in their Mason "aprons" and some are holding unfurled banners.

Left to right, sitting:
James Kirkpatrick, Mum (?) Kirkpatrick, Isicia (means Isaac) Drake, Jim Gray, Theodophalus Foggerty, Bob Taylor, Billie Buck Hutchison, Frank Taylor, Jim Watkins, Albert Dugger.
