Our history was originally compiled by our late Brother Hamilton Holmes. Past Master Douglas Evans, III. has taken Bro. Holmes’ work further and has compiled a major work of art. The following is a brief synopsis.
Crystal Lodge #112 was instituted in 1891 and chartered in 1892 by Grand Master John D. Campbell. The chartered members were WM William Charles Thomas, SW Henry A. Rucker and JW James M. Scott. In 1902, one of our Past Masters, Dr. Henry Rutherford Butler, was elected Grand Master. In December of 1932, Grand Master John Wesley Dobbs combined the lodge with Golden Eagle #253 and changed the name of the lodge to W. C. Thomas #112. In 1935, the lodge was merged with Alexander Hamilton #349 by GM Dobbs and today we are one of the largest lodges in Georgia.
