Didn't see the other thread but two of the cartoonist were Freemasons. I don't know if they were members of generally recognized lodges or not.

Thank you Brother. I want to speak of this at our next communication, and want to mention them by name, but I cant find any place that is a list of Masons.

You likely WON'T ever find a place that is a list of Masons.
Many of us, myself included, DO NOT want our Masonic affiliation known for a wide variety of reasons. At present, there is STILL a fair bit of persecution of Masons in the form of exclusionary practices. If my Church were to find out, I would definitely be banned from that church body forever more. Seeing as I wish to continue being a member of BOTH my Church and my Lodge, I will continue to be a low-key Mason. When submitting my petition for membership to a second lodge (not the primary one in which I was raised), I respectfully asked that my membership be kept a secret, and aside from a dues card, I wanted no part in fliers / mailings that might reveal me... Moving from a big city to an extremely small rural town, I lost the anonymity of a metropolitan area. Down here, everybody knows everybody and their dogs' names too. Even the famous architect, Cass Gilbert, was very certainly in fact a Freemason, but there is no "Official" record of it. For fear of religious or political persecution - you will likely find no published lists. |

Issues of regularity of the Grand Orient of France not withstanding the above article addresses the topic. |

In MO I can hardly drive a highway or walk through a parking lot without seeing a Masonic emblem of some type on a vehicle. In other areas of the country I have seen virtually none, which given your circumstances I can understand keeping a low profile. I'll have to be mindful that some places are not as friendly towards the Fraternity in my travels. |
