HANNIBAL,
MO - This home, a two-story brick structure was on the north side of the
Paris Gravel Road and was utilized in the care of people of African
American descent in old
age and infirmity. It was first proposed in the Prince Hall Masonic
Lodge due to the efforts of James Milton Turner, an African American himself,
who had entered the lodge in 1890. When Turner died in 1915, he
left the Home the amount of $1,000. The Prince Hall Grand Lodge
Masonic Home was dedicated on October 1, 1906 and was used until
1966. |
