Hon. J. B. Rountree, of Bostoe,
Thomasville has In the person of
her distinguished citizen. Judge Au
gustin H. Hansel 1, tb* oldest Mason
In Georgia, and probably in the
South. Attention was directed to
the Judge's Masonic \record by ar
ticle* In the Tatnell Journal and Sa
vannah News.
These paper* advance.the claim*
ht Capt. O. T. McLaurlne, of Hunts
ville, Ale., and Major B. R. Folsom,
Of Eastman, Ga. The record *f the
latter, eclipses that of the former.
Oapt. McLaurlne became a Mason In
1858, at Lynnvilla, Tenn. He It
now 83 year* of age. Major Folsom
was made a Muter Meson In Hamil
ton Lo^ge In 1848, and a Royal
Arch Muon In 1850.
But the Masonic history of the
ThomaiviUe Jurist makes these gen
tlemen appear positively youthful.
Judge Hansell la 87 years of age.
He became a Muter Mason lq Be
nevolent Lodge, number 3, Mil-
ledgevllle, Ga., In 1838. In 1888
he Joined Temple chapter of Royal
Arch Masone, at Hawklnavllle. In
1845 he wu made a Knight Templar
In Macon. From 1842 until 1849 be
served u muter of the Blue Lodge
at Milledgsvllle. So the Judge wu
presiding over a lodge before either
the Alabamian, or the Eastman
brother,were old enough to Join.
During ell of hla long career u
judge of the Southern Circuit, and'
In hla private life, the venerable Jur
ist hu been an ornament to the noble
craft, of which he is the oldest mem
ber In tbe 8onth.
