Royal Arch Chapter and Commandery — the York Rite Bodies Above the Lodge

Banked record, this history lk-civ-fraternal; grand-body rosters as searched November 2026

The banked article carries the Eastern Star whole — Lakeville Chapter No. 479, chartered October 1963, meeting at the Masonic Temple — but the York Rite bodies above the blue lodge, a Royal Arch chapter and a Knights Templar commandery, were never addressed; they are addressed here.353 and its Eastern Star chapter, carries no capitular or chivalric body of its own. Lakeville's York Rite masons, on the record as reached, would have taken those degrees under South Bend's bodies — printed as the geography of the thing, not as a documented membership line, because no roster reached names them. The residue is stated at its true size: the audit's settlers — the Grand Chapter and Grand Commandery of Indiana rosters read directly — were not read, and they stand named and current; the negative above holds at search strength until they are. The article closes mixed by design: the Eastern Star half of the checklist stands banked whole, the York Rite half stands tested-negative at search strength with its settler open.
