My grandfather was VERY high up ( 33rd degree ) and had held the HIGHEST offices in his Bluye Lodge as well as in his other orders. I know, for a FACT, that he did NOT wear any of his aprons when he was buried. I have them . I was at the funeral and the burial and I was old enough to know what was going on. Absolutely NO ONE pestered my mother, nor anyone else in the family, about putting putting him in his apron. I can only go by what I have, myself seen, at family funerals of Masons.
Well, anyway I liked the masons till that point.. I really wanted to join.
But to torture a widow like that just burned me.. How could you do that? That's heartless.
I sincerely hope it was a couple of rogues..
