We Have Seen His Star In The East
Amaranth Grand Chapter, Inc.
Past Grand Worthy Matrons/Patrons
In 1879 Chapters Of Eastern Stars is organized in Ohio
obtaining it's charter or warrants direct from the author, the Illustrious Robert Macoy, Supreme Grand Patron of New York. In 1881 these chapters went into Tennessee Grand Chapter, until 1887 having more than the required number of Chapters in Ohio, to form a Grand Chapter, a Grand Chapter was organized and styled the Grand Chapter of Ohio and Jurisdiction.
Whereas, the Grand Chapter Order of Eastern Star, of Ohio, at its last Grand Session by proper legislation thought it expendient to change the name of that body from the Grand Chapter Order of Eastern Star, to Amaranth Grand Chapter Order of Eastern Star, was heretofore adopted by this Most Worshipful Grand Lodge and extended to it all the rights and protection as heretofore, under its former name and designation of Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star.
It is now my privildge to account the Past Grand Worthy Matron's who exercised the executive functions of the Grand Chapter possessing all the the powers and perogatives conferred by the landmarks and usages of the order and Past Grand Worthy Patron's who were entrusted with the supreme authority with regard to rituatlistic practice, while assiting and advising the Chief Officer, whenever called upon by her.
These are they who have passed through the labyrinth of the Eastern Star:
