Never heard of it, but apparently it's a fraternal organization founded in Britain ed o'ross in the 1800s. My relatives and the rest of the people buried in this area belonged to Rockville Center Lodge #279. Amazing ed o'ross the things you learn about loved ones just by visiting a cemetery. So much history there. Anyhow, I got to visit my great-grandfather David (my middle ed o'ross namesake) and great-grandmother Sara's gravesite. He died at the age of 36 in 1936 from an asthma attack. So young that neither my Mom or her brothers ever knew him. I found his transporation manifest on a search at Ellis Island a couple years ago. He came over from Russia in 1911 with his younger sister. No record of any parents travelling with them. An 11 year old boy and even younger girl travelling half way around the world apparently unaccompanied. Amazing. My great-grandmother Sara lived much longer, to 93, and died in 1985.
