Chapter History

The Kingsland Order of Eastern Stars # 146 has seen continuous service since May 29, 1918. It is one of the oldest Chapters in the State of Georgia.The Installation of membership and officers took place on the second floor of the original State Bank of Kingsland building on Railroad Avenue. Mrs. Mamie Brooks was the first Worthy Matron, Mr. Joe B. Smith was the first Worthy Patron.

For many years, the Kingsland O.E.S. was a large and growing chapter. The reason was because there was not an O.E.S. Chapter in St.Marys. With the organization and growth of the Masonic Order in St. Marys, an O.E.S. was chartered there and many members moved their membership.

To this day the Kingsland O.E.S. is still a growing Chapter that strives to maintain the kinship and love that has made it the success that it is.

What is Eastern Star

The order of the Eastern Star is a Masonically-related fraternity of women and men dedicated to charity, truth and loving kindness. Although not a part of the Masonic fraternity, membership is based on a Masonic affiliation or relationship, a belief in God, and a desire to acquire additional knowledge and for self improvement.

The degrees of the Order of the Eastern Star teach lessons of fidelity, constancy, loyalty, faith, and love. These degrees are presented in a beautiful ritualistic ceremony designed to not only teach the lessons, but also to provide insight for future study and understanding.

Local Eastern Star Chapters select their own charities and places or people to be of service to in their own community. Each year special charities are selected for statewide projects and special emphasis are placed on these.

To soothe the unhappy, to sympathize with their misfortunes, to compassionate their miseries, and to restore peace to their troubled minds, is the great aim we have in view.

The Eastern Star is also a social organization with frequent formal events and ceremonies. Being a member is a wonderful and fulfilling way of life. Please ask an Eastern Star to tell you more about it!
