These images are of the initial pages of one of Monticello Lodge's oldest existing record books - a treasurer's register commencing in 1896. Masonic Historian Alvin O. Benton, in his classic Early Masonry In Monticello and Sullivan County, reports, "The only thing saved from the old lodge records [from the 1909 fire that wiped out Monticello] was the treasurer's book." And here it is.
Though the document goes on for another hundred or more pages, a limited amount of scanning was done in order to limit the stress placed on the document. Clicking on any of the thumbnails below will link to a larger image in a new window.
