Long standing member of Steilacoom Masonic Lodge Number 2 which has been located in Steilacoom, Washington for over 138 years. My lifelong interest In history, demography, culture and genealogy, when coupled to my nearly half century long quest for Masonic knowledge, made my decision to explore the lives and deaths of Puget Sound settlers a natural undertaking. My active involvement in the upkeep of the historical Steilacoom Masonic Cemetery adds a human element and personal connection to my genealogical searches into the history of those stout individuals who rest there.
