Ward. The bodies of the Rite established in Lyons were the first in the state of Iowa and all bear the number i. For some time they met in the rooms of Lyons Lodge and Oriental Chapter, but as the rooms were cramped, and the membership was rapidly increasing, the Lyons Temple was proposed. Adolph Minski gave six thousand dollars to purchase a lot, and the temple was built in 1 87 1, the cornerstone being laid on August 15th, with very elaborate Masonic ceremonies. Grand Master O. P. Waters cond...ucting the ceremonies. This building is of four stories, seventy-two by seventy-eight feet, and was for years the largest and finest Masonic building in the state. Originally the lower story was used for business rooms, the second as a banquet hall, the third for blue lodge meetings, and the fourth for the consistory bodies. This temple is at present occupied by the Lyons Lodge, since the removal of the Scottish Rite to the Cathedral. For several years the question of a re-location of the consistory at some point in the old city of Clinton and the building of a new temple had been agitated, and on May 11, 1904, a resolution was passed in the four co-ordin- ate bodies creating a committee with full powers to act, and with instructions to locate and build a new temple.
