Historical Bible to makes its way to southern Oklahoma
Southern Oklahoma will share in the state tour of a historic Bible used in the inauguration ceremony of George Washington as the nation's first president during the coming week.
Oklahoma Masons arranged the first trip west of the Mississippi River for the historic Bible in celebration of Ronald S. Coppedge's installation as Grand Master (state president) of the Freemasons of Oklahoma. Coppedge is a Tishomingo resident. Arrangements for the Bible, tour and public displays were completed by the Wapanucka Masonic Lodge under the leadership of Michael Reeder.
