During the early months of 1971 a few Masons from Central Louisiana saw a need of a new Lodge, mainly due to the population growth of Central Louisiana. This would be the first Lodge organized in Alexandria in fifty (50) years. Several members of Lodges in the area signed a letter of request to the Grand Master for the new organization, which was submitted with a letter of resolution from Oliver L

odge No. 84 F&AM, recommending the new Lodge. Fifteen(15) signatures were required, but a total of thirty(30) signed. Fifteen(15) from Alexandria Lodge No. 398 F&AM, thirteen(13) from Oliver Lodge Lodge No. 84 F&AM and two(2) from Gordy Lodge No. 133 F&AM. Brothers who were instrumental in forming the new Lodge were:
Morris Shiparo, PGM
Webster N. Rasbury, PM
Leonard C. Sharbono, PM
Richard M. Hailey, PM
Clarence A. Hicks
Paul L. Terry
Richard O. Wilson

During their first meeting they decided to name the Lodge Abe Hinson. The Lodge was named after Abram (Uncle Abe) Hinson who during his Masonic life served as Worshipful Master of Oliver Lodge No. 84 F&AM , Alexandria, La., in 1914. He was a man of high character and integrity and well known throughout Central Louisiana. Being proficient in the catechism of the degrees in masonry he was instrumental in instructing candidates in the degrees in Masonry. Uncle Abe was born on June 24, 1872, at 10 Mile, Louisiana (between Elizabeth and Grant) , and passed away May 24, 1964 at the age of ninety two(92) and was buried in the Fellowship Methodist Church Cemetery, Hineston, La. He received his degrees in Oliver Lodge No. 84 F&AM, Alexandria, La. on the following dates. Entered Apprentice Dec. 1, 1900
Fellowcraft Jan. 1, 1901
Master Mason Feb. 2, 1901

He was elected to Plural Membership in Fellowship Lodge No. 217 F&AM, Hineston, La., on Sept. 1, 1949. On May 29, 1952 he received his fifty(50) year certificate as a Mason and made a Life Member of Oliver Lodge No. 84 F&AM, Alexandria, La.
