Freemasons. Feliciana Lodge No. 31 (Saint. Francisville, La.) records, 1840-1966 (bulk 1900-1958).

Records document the activities of Feliciana Lodge No. 31 through correspondence, membership files, financial documents, and printed items. The predominant topics of conversation involve lodge membership, the payment of dues, and charitable concerns. Correspondence, membership applications, registers, and minute books document the membership base of the lodge, while account books, bank statements, and receipts paint a picture of its financial standing. The primary printed items are the circulars distributed by the Grand Lodge of Louisiana. Feliciana Lodge No. 31 records from 1817 to 1840 are scant, apparently lost in a fire at the office of Judge Samuel Powell, a former Grand Master. Except for any records obtained by the Grand Lodge of Kentucky for those years, only records subsequent to 1840 exist.
