R.F. Edwards of Crumpler, grand lecturer of the Grand Masonic Lodge of North Carolina, officiated at installation ceremonies for officers of Phalanx, Joppa and Excelsior lodges of Masons in the temple Friday night. A large crowd of members were present for the joint session.
The following is the list of the new officers:

Bradley, junior deacon; J.A. Sharpe, chaplain; J.L. Thomason and F.A. Martin Jr., stewards, and J.W. Pope, tiler.

From The Charlotte News, June 25, 1921. The newspaper spelled the lodge Excelsor, but when I looked it up on the lodge’s website, it was spelled Excelsior. I don’t know which was correct in 1921.
