Winn Parish War for Southern Independence
Gregg Davies Jan 24 1997
For several years I have been putting together for eventual publication a roster of the men and boys from WINN PARISH, LA who served in the War For Southern Independence, also referred to as The Civil War. Winn Parish was created partially from Rapides, and many Winn soldiers eventually settled Rapides after the war. I am interested in any names, information, family history, etc., concerning these men. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

GOLDEN PRIDE TEMPLE No. 1560 MTOFA Alexandria, La.
Bob Sullivan Tue Oct 6 11:09:27 1998
My hobby is hunting for Civil War relics with a metal detector and the other day I found a stamp similar to one that a notary would use. On the face of the stamp is the following information:
GOLDEN PRIDE TEMPLE No. 1560 MTOFA Alexandria, La.
Organized Nov. 4, 1920
The stamp also has what looks to be crossed shepherd's staffs with the number 3 over them and the number 2 under with a "V" on each side.
Any help that I can get on what the Golden Pride Temple was would be greatly appreciated. Bob
