Foreword
This Web site reviews the first 100 years of Jeptha Lodge #121. It is the product of many people who reviewed histories, Official Minutes, newspaper clippings, photographs, oral and written accounts, and who proofread these impressions of our Lodge’s past and present. I am grateful to them for their contributions. I particularly wish to thank my mother, Bettie Spies, for her many hours of work on this project.

Dedication
I have written this document in honor of my father, Most Worshipful Brother Leslie Spies. Few people in my experience have been as dedicated to Masonic teachings as he, and few have so successfully lived them. His service to Jeptha Lodge and to the ideals of Masonry is cherished in the hearts of his family and his brother Masons.
 Fraternally,
Wayne Thomas Spies
