Consolidated historical list
The table below is a predecessor Past Masters register for the lodges that feed today’s Craftsmen Lodge No. 717. America Lodge No. 347 and Good Hope Lodge No. 218 consolidated on May 9, 1990 as America–Good Hope Lodge No. 218. Harmony Lodge No. 499 and America–Good Hope Lodge No. 218 then merged into Craftsmen Lodge No. 717 when it was chartered March 14, 1997. Each column names the Worshipful Master for that masonic body and year—there are no Senior or Junior Wardens in this list. In 1990 the same row records the transition: the last masters of the separate lodges, then the first leadership of consolidated America–Good Hope (Terry E. Helton served a partial term, followed by Jimmy J. Munro). The oldest entries continue Good Hope’s line back to 1860.
