Five months later, in April 1905, the trustees of Victory Lodge, C. E.
Collins, John P. Hutcheson and R. E. McClure, contracted with the trustees
of Shiloh M. E. Church, South, to make certain repairs on the church and
purchase one-half interest in the land on which the church was situated.
In return the lodge was to have possession and control of the second floor
of the church building for a lodge hall; the church to occupy and control
the ground floor.
Church trustees were G. B. R. Lea, S. S. Tadlock, J. N. Freels, S. W. Lowe
and J. E. Reed. Shiloh Church was located on the public road near F. M.
Scarbrough's property and had right-of-way to get water from the E. C.
Scarbrough spring.

with Clinton Lodge 18. Consolidation took place May 6, 1924. D. A. Ward Jr.
was noble grand of Victory Lodge at that time, and B. H. Peters was noble
grand of Clinton Lodge. The consolidation of the two lodges made a very
strong organization, and much philanthropic and benevolent work has been
accomplished during the ensuing years.
