The Past Masters of Jackson Lodge № 1 have played a crucial part in the direction of our Lodge and Freemasonry as a whole. A great many of our Past Masters continued to serve the Craft as District Deputy Grand Master or Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Florida with the same zeal and fortitude as they did in their early Masonic careers. The Past Master’s Jewel, as seen below, is given to a Master Mason of a particular Lodge, whereby he has served as the Worshipful Master of that Lodge. It is comprised of the sun, compasses, and the graduated arc, which is emblematical of the wisdom required to pass from the earthly to the heavenly. Below is a complete list of the Past Masters of Jackson Lodge № 1.
