International 1st VP – Jared R. Kichline – PA Greetings High Twelve Members, The month of May is showing some beautiful weather, and our Clubs and Associations are very busy. It’s great to see so much activity as the new officers are being installed. That also means it’s time for the clubs and associations to file their 900 on the IRS website, it’s simple and free to do. You don’t want to get the EIN number suspended. If help is needed, please reach out to the international officers. As members of High Twelve International our organization supports our unbelievable Wolcott Fellows, these impressive individuals are often only able to achieve their dreams through our generosity and support. Making a difference in the lives of our community certainly gives our members something to be proud of. Hopefully, we all look forward to contributing to the little red schoolhouse when we go to our next meeting. Keep up the great work! Respectfully, FAMILY FELLOWSHIP FUTURE! |

International 2nd VP – Terry Hills Greetings Brethren from the Land of Lincoln. Local fundraisers are on the mind of my local Club. And many others elsewhere are looking into ways to add dollars to their Club’s coffers. Raffles and Soup Suppers take a lot of volunteer and sales hours that older members don’t have. Easier methods are needed for those groups. Here are a few ideas that have worked for organizations I belong to:
Please take these ideas and run with them. I promise your Club will enjoy the experiences and funds for philanthropies will grow. Terry Hills, 2nd VP FAMILY FELLOWSHIP FUTURE! |

Cochise High Twelve Club #703 – AZ THE SHOOTOUT AT THE OK CORRAL “Throw up your hands!” Who hasn’t heard of the infamous shootout at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona? History has been very abundant about this startling event, as well as its aftershock. However, there is a very little known connection involving the King Solomon Territorial Masonic Lodge #5 of Tombstone, Arizona and the shootout. There were two (2) Masons who actually participated in the shootout, with other known Masons being very important in its aftermath. Then we have the lodge building being instrumental in this western drama. Several resident Freemasons met with thoughts of starting a Masonic Lodge in Tombstone in 1881. Going through all the machinations they were able to establish a lodge holding its first meeting in Schieffelin Hall on June 10, 1881. Initially it was established as the SOLOMON Lodge F&AM (Free and Accepted Masons) on June 4, 1881, being approved by the Grand Lodge in California. It was later chartered on March 25, 1882 as the KING SOLOMON Territorial Masonic Lodge #5 F&AM. The first five lodges in Arizona were: Lodge #1, Aztlan F&AM Lodge in Prescott 1867 MASONS INVOLVED IN THE SHOOTOUT There were two known Masons who participated in the actual Shootout at the O.K. Corral. They were: Virgil Earp – Virgil was a member of the Oriental 453 F&AM located in Knoxville, Tennessee. He has been erroneously reported as a member of the Tombstone Lodge however, that is not accurate. Virgil had applied to be a member of the Tombstone Lodge, but due to his gambling and alcohol consumption he was blackballed and denied membership.
|
Virgil’s application to be a member of the Tombstone Lodge
Wyatt Earp – Wyatt was a member of the La Porte York Rite, Chapter #15 Royal Arch Masons, the Council #32 Cryptic Masons, and the Commandery #12 Knights Templar in La Porte, Indiana. He too had petitioned the Tombstone Lodge for membership but was turned down as well as his brother, Virgil. Wyatt was also a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) The Odd Fellows and Freemasons are thought to be one and the same but incorrectly so. They may share some similarities but they are separate fraternal organizations.
|
The Tombstone Lodge has always had high standards for membership and even though Virgil and Wyatt were both Town Marshalls and their father was a Mason they were not accepted into the Tombstone Lodge. Nicholas Porter Earp was the father of Virgil, Wyatt, Morgan, James, Warren, and Newton. He was a Mason in Missouri, and even this influence could not forgo the integrity of the lodge, thus the Earps were rejected. In the photo below Nicholas’ Masonic pin can be clearly seen on his coat.
Nicholas Earp WRONGFULLY IDENTIFIED OR UNKNOWN MASONS John “Doc” Holliday – Doc Holliday has been reported to have been a member of the Atlanta-Peachtree Lodge #59 in Atlanta, Georgia. This may be in error due to him possibly being mistaken for his father who was a Mason at this lodge. Contact with a representative of Lodge #59 reveals they have no knowledge of Doc being a member, but should it be discovered, they would love to be informed. However, it was confirmed that Doc was a member of the Odd Fellows which may also confuse the issue of him being a Mason. Sheriff John Behan – Behan is also another individual who is reported to have been a Mason but no known lodge affiliation has been discovered. We do know that Behan had applied to be a member of the Tombstone Lodge, but just as Virgil and Wyatt, he too was blackballed due to his nefarious lifestyle. A bit of information concerning the 1993 movie, TOMBSTONE, Behan, played by Jon Tenney is seen checking his watch which has a Masonic emblem on the fob. Morgan Earp, James Earp, and Warren Earp – All three lived in Tombstone at the time of the shootout and are mentioned as having been Masons but no affiliation of any Masonic Lodge can be discovered. AFTERMATH MASONS Doctor. Nelson S. Giberson – Doctor Giberson was a member of the Tombstone Masonic Lodge and treated Billy Clanton inside the Harwood House located on the corner next to the vacant lot where the shooting occurred, but Billy passed due to his mortal wounds. Doctor Giberson then delivered the bodies of Billy and Tom Clanton and Frank McLaury to the Ritter and Ream Undertakers. William Harwood – Harwood was a member of the Tombstone Masonic Lodge as well as being its first elected Master of the Lodge, replacing the appointed Judge Spicer. Harwood was one of the builders of the Schieffelin Opera House and ironically the shootout occurred next to his house. Dr. Giberson had tried treating Billy Clanton in Harwood’s house. Doctor George Goodfellow – Doctor Goodfellow was a member of the Tombstone Masonic Lodge. He was known as the “Gunfighters Surgeon” due to his often needed services treating gunshot wounds in the Old West. He treated Virgil and Morgan Earp after they were wounded in the O.K. Corral shootout, as well as treating Virgil when he was ambushed two (2) months later. He also attempted to treat Morgan Earp’s mortal wound when shot by an assassin (s). Goodfellow’s court testimony cleared the Earps and Doc Holliday of murder charges during the gunfight. Andrew Jackson Ritter – Ritter was part owner of Ritter and Ream Undertakers in Tombstone and was a member of the Tombstone Masonic Lodge. He is the one that propped the three caskets up in the front window of their establishment for viewing. |

MURDER INQUEST Judge Wells Spicer – Another Masonic connection to the famous shootout was Wells Spicer. If the name of Wells Spicer sounds familiar, maybe his legal profession may help. Spicer defended John D. Lee who was involved in the infamous Mountain Meadows Massacre (September 1857) in Utah. If Wells’ name still rings a bell, let’s add his judicious title of Judge Wells Spicer, Justice of the First District Court of Arizona, located in Tombstone in June 1880. Judge Spicer is best known as the Judge who presided over the murder charges against Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan Earp, and John “Doc” Holliday for the deaths of Billy Clanton and Tom and Frank McLaury in the shootout at the O.K. Corral. Judge Spicer was also one of the original members of Freemasonry who became interested in starting a Masonic Lodge in Tombstone, with Spicer becoming the first Master of the Lodge of the King Solomon Territorial Masonic Lodge #5, only seven (7) months before the infamous shootout. Judge Wells W. Spicer After the infamous shootout at the O.K. Corral a coroner’s inquest was held on October 27, 1881. A Coroner’s Inquest does not decide criminal or civil accountability, nor is it a trial. It is a fact-finding process to determine who the deceased was, as well as where, when, and how the death occurred. First degree murder charges were filed on November 1st by Ike Clanton against Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan Earp, and John “Doc” Holliday. A preliminary hearing began on October 31, 1881, later given the sobriquet of, “The Spicer Hearing”. This hearing was to decide if there was enough evidence to hold the defendants for trial. On November 30, Spicer gave his decision where he censured Virgil Earp for deputizing Wyatt and Doc Holliday but he found no criminality in the four law officer’s actions. Thus, the Earps and Holliday were not indicted on charges of murder by the Grand Jury. Death threats by the Clanton/McLaury faction were sworn against several men, including Mayor John Clum, Wells, Fargo & Co. agent Marshall Williams, mine owner E. B. Gage, Oriental Saloon owner Lou Rickabaugh, and defense attorney Tom Fitch. Spicer received the following anonymous death threat on December 14, 1881: Sir, if you take my advice you will take your departure for a more genial clime, as I don’t think this One Healthy for you much longer. As you are liable to get a hole through your coat at any moment. If such sons of Bitches as you are allowed to dispense Justice in this Territory, the Sooner you Depart from us the better for you And the community at large you may make light of this But it is only a matter of time you will get it sooner or later So with those gentle hints I Will Conclude for the first and last time. Spicer, wrote a rebuttal to the threatening note in The Tombstone Epitaph: “I have been reviled and slandered beyond measure, and that every vile epithet that a foul mouth could utter has been spoken of me… that of corruption and bribery. It is but just to myself that I should hereby assert that neither directly or indirectly was I ever approached in the interest of the defendants, nor have I received a favor of any kind from them or for them. There is a rabble in our city who would like to be thugs if they had courage; would be proud to be called cow-boys, if people gave them that distinction; but as they can be neither, they do the best they can to show how vile they are, and slander, abuse, and threaten everybody they dare to. In conclusion, I will say that I will be here just where they can find me if they want me.” Though Judge Spicer had shown his disdain for this threat he was urged by fellow Masons to retire to the Masonic Lodge in Schieffelin Hall on the second floor for his safety. SCHIEFFELIN OPERA HOUSE The connection the Schieffelin Opera House has with the shootout at the O.K. Corral is the Masonic Lodge was housed on the second floor. Schieffelin Opera House is only 350 feet from the O.K. Corral shootout and 110 feet from the Courthouse where the hearing was held. These sites can be seen from the west window of the second story window. The opera house was constructed at the corner of Fremont and Fourth Street; with Fremont being the main street in Tombstone at the time. Built in 1881 by Albert Schieffelin, brother of Tombstone founder Ed Schieffelin, and their partner William Harwood. The building was designed to be used as an opera house, performance hall, and a meeting place. Now-a-days it is better known as Schieffelin Hall. The opera house opened on June 8, 1881, with a seating capacity of 450 on the main floor and 125 more in the viewing gallery above. When the hall was opened it was considered the largest Opera House between El Paso, Texas and San Francisco, California.To this day the lodge is the largest free standing adobe structure in the United States. Currently there are thousands of larger and more opulent Masonic Lodges but none can compare to the historical beginnings such as the Tombstone Lodge. At the time when Judge Spicer took refuge in the lodge there was a set of stairs with one way up and one way down, thus creating a bastion for Judge Spicer. (This design was purposeful since it was mandated that all Masonic Lodges had to be on the second floor for a couple reasons. Security being the first since it would be more difficult to obtain access to the lodge. Second, in that time period there were no electric fans or air conditioning thus the windows would have been open during meetings for circulation of air. Ergo, being on the second floor no one could hear what was taking place during meetings.) To add to this, several armed Masons surrounded Schieffelin Hall to further add in the security of Judge Spicer’s well-being. Though no attempts had been made on Judge Spicer’s life a couple events took place to encourage Spicer in leaving Tombstone. Mayor Clum, who had supported the Earps in his newspaper became the target of an attempted murder on December 14; the same day Judge Spicer had received his written threat, Mayor Clum was shot at while riding a stagecoach on the way to Benson. On December 28, 1881, only 14 days after the threat on Judge Spicer’s life and the attempt on Clum’s life, Virgil Earp was ambushed with a shotgun, permanently disabling his left arm. Then on March 18, 1882, Morgan Earp was murdered in Hatch’s Saloon. Though no attempts were made on Spicer’s life his law career was over as his term as a Territorial District Judge expired in 1882 and he soon departed Tombstone. He returned to prospecting, first in Arizona and then Mexico. Rumors say he wandered into the desert in 1887 near Ajo or Quijotoa, Arizona, and committed suicide. The photo below is looking East on Freemont Street, from near the site of the shootout. |

WYATT’S VENDETTA RIDE Jack “Turkey Creek” Johnson Johnson had been a cattleman and lawman, who had initially become involved with Curly Bill and the Cowboys but ended up siding with Wyatt Earp as a member of his posse in the Vendetta Ride. He was a member of the Mount Moriah Masonic Lodge No. 2, F.& A.M., in Salt Lake City, Utah. Buck Taylor, who portrayed Turkey Creek in the 1993 movie, TOMBSTONE can be seen wearing a square and compass pendant around his neck. He is the actor who tells Val Kilmer after the killing of Curly Bill, “Hell, I’ve got lots of friends.” Did he mean his friends were fellow brothers of the Masonic Lodge? What Masonic Lodge can regale their beginnings such as Tombstone’s King Solomon Territorial Masonic Lodge #5? The lodge has been written in history, and even honored by Hollywood with the use of Masonic emblems in it production of the 1993 movie, TOMBSTONE. To commemorate their beginnings and honor their brothers from the past, Tombstone Masons are readily identifiable by other Masons, due to them wearing 1880s clothing for their monthly meetings, as well as other functions. It makes one proud to hear, “There’s the Tombstone boys.” as we approach a joint function of Masons. Interested in becoming a Rootin’ Tootin’ Tombstone Mason?

The pins have been very popular in past years, but the number of pins sold annually has decreased substantially, and the cost of manufacturing has increased. The Wolcott BOT, decided that 2025 will be the last year for Wolcott lapel pins, but the final year’s pins are very special. The 2025 Wolcott pin is 25% larger than in previous years. It has a special finish that sparkles and shows the years 1953-2025 at the bottom. ONLY 500 PINS HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED These pins are available only under the following conditions:
WOLCOTT FOUNDATION TO DISCONTINUE CLUB PATCHES The high cost of manufacturing and distribution has caused the Board of Trustees of the Wolcott Foundation to discontinue the issuance of Wolcott Club Patches for club banners. This decision will take effect immediately, and no patches will be distributed for the fiscal year 2024-2025. The Wolcott Board apologizes for this inconvenience, but hopes the membership will understand.

Waterloo High Twelve Club #46 – IA Continued from the High Twelvian Magazine, Page 23, Spring Edition: In my 51 years as a Mason I have visited well over a 100 lodges and a dozen or more High-Twelve Clubs in 3 countries and many states. In those locales that host multiple lodges but only ONE Masonic body is the High-Twelve Club sponsor, guess which one gets the most petitions? And a final fact that works in our favor. When I was a kid, most families had 3.4 kids, thus many boys has a brother. Today? Our son is an only son and he has but one son but brotherhood was provided to our son and one day will be there for my grandson. How about yours? Brothers – High-Twelve is our premier marketing tool. It allows us to casually introduce a friend, neighbor, client or co-worker to Masonry AND also get a better idea if he indeed is a “good” man who would enjoy being “improved in Masonry”. So do some hunting for potential Brothers by inviting them to your next High-Twelve gathering. There is no bag limit! (and if their significant other is with them, explain what OES provides.
