gUntil 1845 Inclusive, proxy representation in the Grand Lodge of the United
States was permitted. In 1839 Fast Grand Master Samuel Pryor, of Pennsylvania,
was elected proxy Representative by the Grand Lodge of Illinois, but did not serve.
At the adjourned session in April, 1840, Past Grand Master Augustus Mathlot, of
Maryland, presented credentials as proxy Representative of Illinois, which were
accepted, and ho was also recognized in that capacity at the annual session in
October following ; but there is no record of his election or appointment. In
1842 and 1843, James Earnest, of New York, was elected and served as proxy
Representative of Illinois. In 1844 Past Grand Master William S. Stewart, of
Missouri, D.D.G.S., was requested to appoint a proxy Representative for the Grand
Lodge of Illinois ; but no such proxy was present at the session of that year, unless
Stewart himself acted in that capacity. In 1845 no election for Representative
was held.
