History<\/strong>
\nBethel #7 of Kansas City is proud to be the first Bethel chartered in Kansas City, Missouri. The Bethel was instituted March 17, 1923, and chartered February 15, 1924, with 95 girls signing the Charter. \u00a0Although many early records are missing, through old newspaper clippings we know that many of our early members had Supreme Offices: \u00a0Supreme Honored Queen, Emma Loest, Supreme Guide, Dorothy Harris, Supreme Marshal, Ruth Crofut, Supreme Chaplain, Catherine Lorimer, and Connie Gardner McKinstry was Grand Organist in 1926. \u00a0PHQ Eudora Fromhold Dimity (1926), a charter member, donated many items of her term to the Bethel.\u00a0 After several years of declining membership, on March 13, 2003 Bethel #7 moved to Clinton, Missouri in 2003 and then to Smithville, Missouri. Bethel #7’s home is now in Kansas City at Rising Sun Masonic Lodge.<\/p>\n
