Book excerpt: Excerpt from George Washington Centennial Memeorial Excerises, Mount Vernon, December 14, 1899 The Masonic Memorial Exercises which took place at Mount Vernon on the centennial anniversary of the death of Worshipful Brother George Washington, were formally inaugurated by the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Colorado in 1893, in response to a recommendation in the address of Grand Master William D. Wright, made on the suggestion and request of Past Grand Master R. W. Woodbury. The official recommendation was referred to the Committee on Jurisprudence, consisting of Past Grand Masters R. W. Woodbury, James H. Peabody and William D. Todd. This committee reported at the same Grand Communication in favor of the proposition, and presented a method of procedure. Execution of the same was entrusted to a committee to serve until the close of the proposed memorial exercises, and Past Grand Masters R. W. Woodbury, William D. Wright and William D. Todd were appointed as such committee, who reported progress to the Grand Lodge from year to year. The first circular of the committee was sent to all Grand Masters and Grand Secretaries in the United States. They were requested to recommend the formal approval of their Grand Lodges, and to appoint committees to report to, and co-operate with, the Colorado committee. The irregular dates at which the various Grand Lodges assemble made progress slow, and a year elapsed before all had convened. Quite a number of Grand Masters at once gave hearty and patriotic endorsement. Some neglected it until another year.
