Knights of Pythias — the Same Door, Unopened; a Named Gap

Banked record, this history lk-civ-fraternal; this lane's searches, November 2026

The Pythias negative stands exactly where the Odd Fellows negative stands — at web-search strength, its grand-lodge roster named and unread — and it closes the same honest way. No Lakeville lodge of the Knights of Pythias, no lodge number, and no separate test of the order's Uniform Rank or of the Pythian Sisters appears in any carrier reached; the three limbs the checklist names were never separately testable from the sources opened, and this article does not pretend otherwise. The banked negative is left exactly at its banked strength, and the settler is named and current: the Knights of Pythias grand lodge roster read directly, with the Uniform Rank and Pythian Sisters tested on their own lines when it is. A row that closes as a named gap with a located settler has been dug to the depth the open record allows; the rest is another pass's work, and it is labelled as such rather than absorbed into a false negative.
