Early Demolay
Patent and Membership Card
Here is an early Demolay Patent
(Membership Certificate) dated October 22, 1928 and signed by Demolay Founder
Frank Land (signed above issued to) that belonged to a young Demolay by the
name of Marion H. Black (who signed his name in the upper left hand margin)
and was a member of Hutchinson Chapter in Hutchinson Kansas. Their
Demolay Chapter was sponsored by the Wichita Consistory No. 2 Ancient Accepted
Scottish Rite. Judging by the dates I would say that Brother Marion is
in his late 80's or early 90's. If anybody knows Brother Marion or has
knowledge of his demise, please let us know so we can post it here. We'd
like to tell the story of his life and how his membership in Demolay molded
his future!
