                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 20, 2005

  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor and 
enthusiasm that I congratulate the Eden Lodge No. 46 as they join 
together to celebrate their 110th birthday along with their sister 
chapter King Solomon Chapter No. 42 celebrating their 103rd 
anniversary.
  Located in the city of Marietta, the Eden Lodge and King Solomon 
Chapter have a rich heritage and continue to serve the Cobb Community 
and beyond.
  The Eden Lodge began in 1894 and the lodge proceeded to grow in the 
years that followed. After the Great Depression and the hard times that 
followed during World War II the Eden Lodge was reactivated and grew 
its strength when in 1961 Eden Lodge built its Masonic Hall.
  I would especially like to commend the following members for their 
leadership and active participation in the Eden Lodge: Emanuel Wilson, 
Charles Ferguson, Sr., Charles E. Bartlett, Sr., Reginald H. Kemp, 
Joseph L. Collins, and Mario L. Eury.
  With pride, I recognize the Eden Lodge for its 110 years and the King 
Solomon Chapter for its 103 years of offering a place of fellowship and 
friendship to the people of Marietta, Georgia and beyond.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask all Members to join me in honoring and 
congratulating the membership for their remarkable achievements.
