THE MEMORIAL STONES
 
 
 Memorial stones are embedded in the granite walls of the 
stairway of the Washington Monument. The    stones serve as individual tributes to 
George Washington's leadership and are as diverse as their 192    donors. The 
donors were all 50 states (some of which were territories at the time the stones 
were    donated), various municipalities, private companies and organizations, the 
Cherokee Nation,    individual citizens, and various foreign governments.     The first to be installed was the Alabama stone in 1849. The 
Alaska stone, made of solid jade, was    the last to be installed, in 1982. The 
most famous stone was a gift from Pope Pius IX--a marble slab    that had been part 
of the Temple of Concord in Rome. On the night of March 6, 1854, a band of 
		   masked thieves stole the stone from a storage shed. Later, participants 
identified the thieves as    members of the American, or "Know-Nothing" Party, a 
party which was both anti- foreigner and anti-   Catholic. The "Pope's Stone" was 
stolen and believed to be destroyed. In 1982, the Vatican donated a    replacement 
stone which is a replica of the original.        In 1976, the National Park Service was forced to close the 
stairway to unescorted visitors primarily    because of vandalism to the stones. 
Visitors can see the stones on ranger-led tours down the 897    steps.  Masonic Stones of the Washington 
Monument      The cornerstone of the Washington Monument consisted of a 
block of Maryland marble weighing 
   "twenty-four thousand five hundred pounds" and 
was presented to the Washington National 
   Monument Society in 1848 by Thomas 
Symington from his quarry about eleven miles from Baltimore. 
   The stone was 
shipped to Washington from Baltimore on the B&O railroad. Upon its arrival into 
the 
   city of Washington, the stone was drawn to the site of the Monument by a 
large body of workmen 
   from the Washington Navy Yard, assisted by other citizens.     On the 4th of July, 1848, under a clear sky in the presence of 
the President of the United States and    virtually every notable of the government 
including former first lady Dolley Madison, the cornerstone    was set with masonic 
ceremonies by the Grand Lodge of Masons of the District of Columbia. One of the 
		   principal addresses of the occasion was given by Benjamin B. French, Grand 
Master, who wore the    masonic apron that Washington wore at the laying of the 
cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol. In his    address French referred to the masonic 
master's chair used by Washington as Worshipful Master of    Washington-Alexandria 
Lodge, and the gavel used by the first President to set the cornerstone of the 
		   Capitol, in the custody of Potomac Lodge #5 of Georgetown, D.C. Both of these 
were on display for the    occasion along with other Washington masonic relics.      The Washington National Monument Society, in charge of 
		fund raising of the Monument, sensed the     importance of Washington's Masonic membership and the 
		great pride that Masons felt across the    country for their brother, Washington, the father of 
		our country.      The Society in 1851 and 1853 
solicited members of the Masonic Order nationally through the Grand    Lodges, to 
make contributions to the construction of the monument.     The Society in an effort to publicize the monument fund 
raising campaign solicited each state and    territory to present a carved memorial 
stone to be placed in the interior of the monument walls.    Stones began arriving 
from across the country in marble, granite and sandstone. Although the Society 
		   specified that the memorial stones be four feet long, 2 feet high, and 12 to 18 
inches thick, the began    arriving in all sizes, and all were placed within the 
Monument. By 1855 the Society had installed 92    carved commemorative stones 
within the walls of the Monument.      The Society solicited the Masons, the Odd Fellows, the Sons of 
Temperance and other fraternal orders    as well. This action resulted in the 
contributions 22 masonic memorial stones, contributed by 14    Grand Lodges and 8 
individual lodges.*      The first Masonic stone ascending the Monument is that of the 
Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia    at the 50 foot landing. This earliest 
Masonic contribution was no doubt tied into the cornerstone    laying ceremony 
where the Grand Lodge of D.C. presided. Next to it is the stone of Naval Lodge 
#4 of    the District of Columbia. Founded among workers at the Washington Navy 
Yard, Naval Lodge members    doubtless participated in dragging the cornerstone to 
the Monument site and in the cornerstone    ceremony. Both stones are marble.   
 OTHER MASONIC SYMBOLS    The Washington monuments are full of Masonic symbolism. If you 
look at a laid out map of the area,    you will see a owl formed there, the owl is 
one of the sacred symbols of the masonic temples      By 1854, the Washington National Monument Society had 
exhausted its funds and all work stopped at    the 150 foot level. Turmoil within 
the Society, bad economic times, and the fury of the coming Civil    War and its 
aftermath would halt monument construction for 22 years. There is still a 
discernible line    between courses of differing stonework indicating the 
resumption of Monument construction funded    now by Congress on August 2, 1876, 
and spurred on by the centennial celebration of the Declaration    of Independence. 
The Army Corps of Engineers carried on construction of the monument until its 
		   completion in 1885.        Whether or not Society Secretary John Carrol Brent was moved 
by the letter from the Lodge in    Roxbury, Massachusetts, he began to again send 
another solicitations to Masonic bodies and other    fraternal orders. Between July 
and September 1874 over two hundred pledges were received by the    Society from 
every part of the country, chiefly from the Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of 
Pythias, Red    Men, and other fraternal bodies. On April 15, 1875, 211 Masonic 
lodges across the country responded    to Brent's call including four grand Lodges 
of Florida, Illinois, Ohio, and Massachusetts, the last three    named Grand Lodges 
giving $1000 each. The average lodge gave 10,20 to 50 dollars. Mithras Lodges    of 
Perfection, A.A.S.R, Washington D.C. made a contribution as did 24 Royal Arch 
Chapters and 5    commandaries. The Odd Fellows had a equal number of participating 
lodges, and gave many Odd    Fellow memorial stones.      The aluminum metal apex, representing a small pyramid, 5.6 
inches on each base side and 8.9 inches    high was set December 6, 1884 on top of 
the 3300 pound capstone. The apex was engraved with the    names of the engineers 
and notables who completed the monument and on one side contained the    words: 
LAUS DEO.      The dedication was held in cold winter on February 21, 1885. 
Again the Grand Lodge of Masons of the    District of Columbia participated using 
an adaptation of the cornerstone ceremony they had used in    1848. Grand Master 
Myron M. Parker gave an oration, and again the Washington masonic relics were 
		   displayed and Washington's Masonic career was discussed. Naval Lodge #4, my own 
lodge was    present, as it had been at the laying of the cornerstone thirty seven 
years before.      * These stones today  
 
 Masonic Stones of the Washington Monument
 [Quoted from the Spring 1997 issue of The Voice of 
Freemasonry,
 published by the Grand Lodge, F.&.A.M., of the District of 
Columbia]
 
 Brother Gary Scoff, Past Master of Naval Lodge No. 4 and 
Chief Historian of the National Park Service
   in the National Capital area, 
reports that the Washington National Monument Society in 1851 and    1853 solicited 
members of the Masonic Order nationally through the Grand Lodges, to make 
   contributions to a fund that was used for the construction of the Washington 
Monument. 
 According to Brother Scoff the Society solicited each state 
and territory to present a carved memorial 
   stone for placement in the interior 
of the monument walls. Soon thereafter stones began to arrive 
   from across the 
country, and by 1855 the Society had installed 92 commemorative stones of 
diverse 
   size and composition. Among the stones collected were 22 of Masonic 
origin.
   In ascending the Monument from ground level the 
first Masonic stone encountered is that of the    Grand Lodge of the District of 
Columbia at the 50-foot landing. Adjacent to it is the stone of Naval    Lodge No. 
4 of the District of Columbia. Both of these stones are of marble. The rest of 
the Masonic    stones are described by Brother Scott as follows: "Masonic stones 
again appear at the ninth landing at    the 110 foot level with the marble stones 
of the Grand Lodges of Ohio, New York and Kentucky. D.    Boiler of Cincinnatti 
carved the Ohio stone which contains a compass and square, an all-seeing eye, 
   and a sword resting on a book. The New York stone was carved by Owens and 
Newland of Utica, New    York and contains a compass and square. The Kentucky stone 
cites Washington as a Christian Mason    and contains the compass and square, 
all-seemg eye, and sword upon the constitution. W. Strobridge    of Frankfort, 
Kentucky was the stone carver. 
 At the 120-foot level on the tenth landing is the unadorned 
stone of Patmos Lodge No. 70   Masons,
   Ellicott City, Maryland. It is dated February 22, 1852, and 
made of rough granite. The eleventh level    at 130 feet contains the native marble 
stone of Mount Lebanon Lodge, No. 226, Ancient York Masons,    Lebanon, 
Pennsylvania. The stone is dated 1851. Nearby is the ornamented marble stone of 
the    Grand Lodge of Maryland, containing the names of donors and Grand Lodge 
officials. Alex Gaddess, a    member of the committee, was the ''maker." The stone 
is dated 1850 and contains a carved figure of    Father Time in supplication before 
an altar. His eyes are fixed on a star in the heavens, and he is    pointing to the 
open book on the altar with his left hand. He holds a scythe. An hour glass 
rests on the    ground. Also at this level is the marble stone of Masons of the 
Washington Lodge Number 21 of the    city of New York. Carved on the stone are a 
smiling sun, a plumb, a trowel, a triangle containing the    letter G, and a square 
and compass on a Bible. 
   The twelfth level at 140 feet contains three Masonic 
stones. The state of Alabama contributed an    interesting Alabama marble stone 
containing what must have been the seal of its Grand Lodge.    Masonic symbols are 
arrayed in the circle of the seal around and within an archway resting on two 
		   columns. The inscription states that the stone was presented by the Most 
Worshipful Grand Lodge of    Atlcient Free and Accepted Masons of Alabama, Dec. 
6th, A.L. 5849 (1849).  
 The Masons of Georgia contributed a Georgia marble stone 
with a 15-inch shield containing a raised    circle 7 inches in diameter. The 
circle contains an all seeing eye and a compass and square. The    inscription 
reads: The Grand Lodge ofGeorgia. Founded 1735 A.D. Fratrem Meminisse. On the 
raised    seal is Prosunt Omnibus. The stone is signed by J.B. Artope who may have 
been the carver.   The Grand Lodge of Illinois sent a very dramatic stone 
showing a wall of finished ashlar. containing
   within it an archway supported by 
two columns. Within the archway is a bearded man, perhaps    Father Time, owing to 
the hour glass at his feet. In front of him is a young maiden standing before a 
   broken column. She holds an acacia branch in her right hand. In her left she 
grips a mallet resting on    an open book. The bearded figure of Time seems to be 
stroking her hair. J. Jewel has sighed the    tablet and may have been the 
sculptor-carver. The stone is dated 1853. 
 Moving up to the fourteenth landing at 160 feet there is a 
marble Masonic stone from Lafayette Lodge    No. 64, F.& A.M., New York City. 
Septernber 16 A.L. 5853 A.D. 1853. The stone contains a square and    compass under 
the words, "our tribute". At the fifteenth landing, on the 170-foot level is a 
granite    Stone from Washington Lodge  F.& A M., Roxbury, Massachusetts. The 
stone is actually from a later    period and arrived at the monument in 1871. With 
the stone came a letter to John Carrol Brent,    secretary of the Society, from 
John F. Newton, Boston, Massachusetts, May 10, 1871: "And may we    but express the 
hope that the step our Lodge has taken be but the initiatory one, which will 
give the    completion of the monument a new impetus. And I hope our example will 
be followed by other lodges    and Masonic institutions throughout our beloved 
country And feeling a deep interest in the    completion of the monument I beg to 
make a suggestion, and that is this, of your society making an    appeal to each 
Lodge, and Masonic Institution throughout the country. I think it would meet 
with a    generous and hearty response."  
 On the 180-foot level, at the sixteenth landing, the Grand 
Lodge of Pennsylvania contributed a richly    carved marble stone.      Prominent upon the stone is carved an arch 
and keystone. The keystone contains a seal with four    quarterings with a lion, a 
man, a cow, and an eagle, traditional emblems of the four apostles. Above    the 
seal on the keystone is "Holiness unto the Lord", below the seal is "From the 
Keystone State, A.D.    1851 A.L. 5851." Above the keystone two angels guard with 
uplifted wings a small ark of the    covenant. To the right of the arch is a 
crumbling wall surmounted by masonic tools set agamst a    wooded hill. To the left 
is a wall of finished ashlar surmounted by a masonic altar and tools against 
   another wooded hill. In the clouds on a banner to either side of the keystone is 
the inscription "Ad    majorem Supremi Architect Glorium". 
   At the 200-foot level, eighteenth landing, Virginia 
presented two Masonic stones. The first is    presented by St. John's Lodge No. 36, 
F.&.A.M., Richmond. The stone is granite with a raised marble    Bible carved with 
a compass and square. The stone is signed J.T. Rogers, Richmond. The stone from 
		   the Grand Lodge of Virginia is granite with a raised border and also contains a 
carved Bible with    compass and square. It bears the inscription: "By the Grand 
Lodge of Accepted, Ancient and Free    Masons of Virginia. Lo' She gave to this 
Republic, the Chief Corner Stone. Aug. 4 A.L. 5854." J.T.    Rodgers, Richmond, has 
signed the lower border. 
   Moving up to the nineteenth landing at 210 feet, the Grand 
Lodge of Iowa, A.F. & AM. contributed a    simple granite stone from an Iowa quarry 
and squared by an Iowa craftsman. It was shipped prepaid    as a gift of 80,000 
Free and Accepted Masons of Iowa, and was received and acknowledged by Charles 
   Stanbury on June 22, 1877. 
 The Grand Lodge of the State of Mississippi contributed a 
carved sandstone stone "to their W.   Brother George Washington." The stone has a raised border. 
A compass and square and an arm    upraised with a mallet appear on the left and 
right side of the inscription. A letter from Wm. Miller,    Grand Secretary, 
Natchez, Mississippi to E. Whittlesey which is dated August 10, 1854, 
acknowledged    the receipt of the stone at the Monument and remitted the cost of 
shipping, $7.50.
   The stone given by the Grand Lodge of Arkansas is the most 
fanciful of all. The lettering is an    accentuated script with ornate characters. 
The inscription reads "Ad glorium fratis nostris et patris    patriae." The various 
Masonic items are given exaggerated shapes. A coffin adorns the lower portion. 
		   An exaggerated eye with a bushy eyebrow peeks from within an ornate letter G. 
According to the    American Organ, September 5, 1856, the stone was done in the 
marble yard ofAlexander Rutherford,    by a young man and apprentice. The stone 
arrived on the Monument grounds September 5, 1856.  
 The last masonic stone is at the 230-foot level, the 
twenty-first landing. It is marble and presented by    the Grand Lodge of the State 
of Florida. Its raised border creates a frame effect for the simple    compass and 
square in the center of the stone. 
   By 1854, the Washmgton National Monument society had 
exhausted its ftmds and all work stopped at    the 150-foot level. Turmoil withtn 
the Society, bad economic times, and the fury of the coming Civil    War and its 
aftermath halted monument construction for 22 years. There is still a 
discernible line    between courses of differing stonework indicating the 
resumption of Monument construction, funded    now by Congress, on August 2, 1876, 
and spurred on by the centennial celebration of the Declaration    of Independence. 
The Army Corps of Engineers carried on construction of the monument until its 
   completion in 1885. Whether or not Society Secretary John Carrol Brent was moved 
by the letter    from the Lodge in Roxbury, Massachusetts, he began to again send 
another solicitation to Masonic    bodies and other fraternal orders. Between July 
and September 1874 over two hundred pledges    were received by the Society from 
every part of the country, primarily from the Masons, Odd    Fellows, Knights of 
Pythias, Red Men, and other fraternal bodies. By April 15, 1875, 211 Masonic 
   lodges across the country had responded to Brent's call including the Grand 
Lodges of Florida, Illmois,    Ohio, and Massachusetts, the last three named Grand 
Lodges giving $1,000 each. Mithras Lodge of    Perfection, A.A.S.R., Washington 
D.C. made a contribution as did 24 Royal Arch Chapters and 5    Commanderies. These 
stones today may be seen by the visitor who takes scheduled tours walking    down 
the interior staircase of the monument. The walk down is a bit long and tedious 
and suitable    only for the athletically inclined. Monument visitors may inquire 
about these walking tours by calling    the Washington Monument Ranger Station at 
202-426-6841. The National Park Service hopes to install    a glass wmdow elevator 
so that all visitors may view the 193 memorial stones as they make the 
five-   minute elevator ascension to the top of the Monument.

Capitol as the head or    top of the Compass, the left leg of the Compass stands on 
the White House and the right leg stands on    the Jefferson Memorial. The circle

THAT WAS LOCATED IN    VIRGINIA:  THIS EARTHQUAKE WAS A PECULIAR - ONE TIME

THIS PARTICULAR EARTHQUAKE:          
	 How the Washington Monument has been repaired over the 
	years
	By John Kelly,September 
	14, 2013   Not for the first time, Washington’s mightiest monument is in 
a cage.   It took about four months to construct the steel 
scaffolding that encases the Washington Monument    and serves as a platform to fix 
damage caused by the August 2011 earthquake. Shrouded by    protective fabric and 
bathed at night in ethereal light, the 555-foot obelisk looks like a 
Christo    installation.     Of course, the monument has needed TLC before. Answer 
Man has no problem remembering the 1998    refurbishment. He has a harder time 
remembering the first time the monument needed 
large-scale    repair. That’s because he wasn’t born yet.     The year was 1934. The monument had been dedicated in 1885 and 
the first stones had been laid in    1848. Mortar was crumbling in places. Rain 
leaked in from the top. It was time for a fix-up.        The Public Works Administration put aside $100,000 for 
repairs. Workers began by assembling    50,000 pieces of steel tubing into a 
“corset,” the scaffolding that encased the monument. The    elements had not been 
kind to the structure. One stone block near the top was so damaged by    lightning 
that workers had to muscle in a 1,200-pound slab of marble as a replacement.     
	The stone itself was cleaned in a way that would make 
	today’s historic preservationists blanch:    According to a contemporary 
	account, water mixed with sand was “energetically applied with 
	steel-   bristled brushes.” Contrast that with today, where Q-tips woven from 
	alpaca wool are dipped in the    tears of newborn babies and gently rubbed 
	against the pale marble by jumpsuit-wearing eunuchs.     Answer Man is joking about the alpaca wool/baby 
	tears/eunuchs, but there certainly is a different    approach to today’s work 
	on the monument. For one thing, the monument is currently closed, not set    to 
	reopen until the spring. During the 1934 renovation, it stayed open. Perhaps 
	officials felt tourists    needed a diversion during the Depression. Or maybe, 
	in those less-litigious days, no one worried    about a tourist being beaned by 
	a hammer or chisel dropped from 400 feet above.     Probably the oddest thing to occur during the 1934 
	renovation was a heist. Gold-plated, platinum-   tipped lightning-rod points 
	were used to protect the crown of the monument from occasional shocks    of 
	cloud-borne electricity. In December, someone climbed to the top of the 
	monument and stole 107 of    the 170 points, valued at a total of $856, or 
	about $15,000 in today’s money.     As far as Answer Man can tell, no one was ever charged 
	with the crime. The contractor, the Alexander    Howie Co., had to eat the cost 
	of the pilfered points.     At the end of the three-month renovation, the spider web 
	of scaffolding was removed.   While the Washington Monument wouldn’t be enshrouded 
	completely for 63 more years, in 1958, a    small, rickety-looking scaffold 
	appeared just below the obelisk’s peak. It provided a platform for 
	   William Smiley to cut 
	eight holes — two on each face — into the marble.     Smiley was an Indiana-born stonemason who lived in 
Hyattsville. He told The Post that he didn’t find    the job too unusual. “Of 
course, I haven’t been up too high very many times, just ordinary five- to 
10-   story buildings,” he said. “But there’s not any more of a sensation to this 
job than riding in a plane    once you get used to it. When the wind hits the 
scaffold, there’s a little shimmy to it.”       Smiley confessed that his wife wasn’t too crazy about his job 
and preferred not to hear about it when    he got home from work each evening.     The holes — 14 inches in diameter and cut through seven inches 
of stone — were needed to house the    red lights that blink a warning to aircraft.     Red lights blink there still, crimson eyes that gaze down upon 
a city that would appear both strange    and familiar to a Washingtonian from 1885, 
1934 or 1958.   
       OUR 11:11 PAGES   WE ACTUALLY HAVE 649 WEB PAGES ABOUT THIS NUMBER, BUT TO SAVE 
YOUR EYES AND TIME, THIS IS ONLY THE FIRST 50 OF THEM.
