They were originally Bethel #32 of Overland, Missouri, and met at 9632 Lackland Road in Overland, Missouri until 1951, when they moved to their current meeting place, Bridgeton Masonic Temple. The Charter Honored Queen was Lois Clark Fridley. In 1970 Mom Alice Coleman went to the Lodge and Grand Council and had the name changed to Bridgeton, Missouri. In this way the Bethel name would match the Lodge Name.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The Bethel Guardians of Bethel #32 have included: Bernice Stegeman, 1949-1951, Virginia Hilleman, 1951-1956, Arline Viner, 1956-1958, Billie Grossenbacker Baldwin, 1958-1962, Bernice Stegeman, 1962-1965, Elsie Phillips, 1966-1969, Alice Coleman, 1969-1973, Carolyn Fleming, 1973-1974, Marie Wardlaw, 1974-1976, Elaine Hogg, 1976-1977, Mary Brooks, 1977-1982, Shirley Nash, 1982-1984, Cynde Brooks, 1984-1985, Judi Emerson Scydick, 1985-1993, Carolyn Christofersen, 1993-1995, Judi Emerson Scydick, 1995-1999, and Cheryl Parker, 1999-Present.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The Associate Bethel Guardians of Bethel #32 have included: Clifford Edes, 1949-1953, Fred Ruegsegger, 1953-1958, Melvin Shcaffner, 1958-1962, Al Powell, 1962-1968, Harold Edwards, 1968-1971, Jim Harbison, 1972-1973, Harold Edwards, 1973-1976, Bill White, 1976-1977, Harold Edwards, 1977-1978, Ed Franks, 1978-1981, Bert Thacker, 1981-1983, Earl Sandroff, 1983-1986, Gene Dunham, 1986-1990, Tom Hennenhoefer, 1990-1993, Gene Burnett, 1993-2001 and Jon Broyles 2002-2007.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Other points of interest:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Whenever you visit Bethel #32 you will notice a stuffed lamb sitting in the West. This is the mascot of the first Honored Queen (Lois Clark Fridley) and her colors are tied around its neck. It is tradition for the current Honored Queen to display her colors with the First Honored Queen of the Bethel around the lamb&#8217;s neck. We have one Honored Queen of Bethel #32 that passed away during her term. Tamara Null passed away in November, 1982 with only two meetings left in her term. Tammy was a wonderful young lady and a great inspiration to us all. ln her memory, the Daughters of Bethel #32 decided that Tammy&#8217;s colors would also always remain on the Original Mascot. It is the tradition now for the current Honored Queen to put her colors on the lamb&#8217;s tail.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Bethel #32 was the first Bethel in Missouri to hold an outdoor meeting. The first meeting was held on May 14. 1988, Chris Dunham H.Q. presided. Theyt held an initiation at this meeting and the Daughter initiated was Tracy Duff. The outdoor meetings are held at Frank and Judi Scydick&#8217;s home in Dittmer. Missouri. The lodge room is set in a wooded area with a creek directly behind and slightly under the East. Bethel #32 has had three outdoor meetings. They are planning on holding more. It is a very relaxing and enjoyable day for everyone who comes.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Bethel #32 may have originally been a part of Bethel #4. When it became too big, Bethel #32 was formed.
