Lodge History
On November 1, 1951, Allen-Graham Lodge No. 695 was instituted, with 83 of its charter members coming from the membership of Cannon Memorial Lodge No.626 under whose sponsorship it was formed and organized. This new lodge was named for two very eminent Masons of Kannapolis whose efforts kept Masonry alive here during the trying years of the late 1920’s and early 1930’s. They were both past Masters of Cannon Memorial Lodge, namely, George G. Allen and T. I. Graham.
J. M. Koontz, a past Master of Cannon Memorial Lodge, was the first Master of Allen-Graham Lodge and was predominately instrumental in its organization

Who are the Masons? What do they do?
Masons (also known as Freemasons) belong to the oldest and largest fraternal organization in the world. Today, there are now more than two million Masons in North America. Masons represent virtually every occupation and profession, yet within the Fraternity all meet as equals. Masons come from diverse political ideologies, yet meet as friends. Masons come from varied religious beliefs and creeds, yet all believe in one God.
