In Howard's roster, 1907
A club beside the lodge: Among the bodies in Howard's 1907 roster stands one that is a club in the plain sense — the Masonic Club of Mishawaka, with H. A. Edris as its president and Guy Richards as its secretary. It was the social arm beside the lodge: a club of Masons, organized for the fellowship the lodge room's work did not cover, of the kind that in larger cities kept reading rooms, billiard tables and a lunch counter. Howard gives it a line and its two officers, and no record reached carries it further — no rooms, no course, no closing date. It is printed at the size its record stands: a named club, officered, in the roster of 1907, its later course a named gap whose settling sources are the Enterprise's run and the lodge's own minutes.
