Four Presidents, One Lodge

Argentine_presidents

Four presidents were members of the same Lodge, but not in the US. Argentine Presidents Justo José de Urquiza (1854-1860), Santiago Derqui (1860-1861), Bartolomé Mitre (1861-1868) and Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (1868-1874) were all members of Union Del Plata Lodge 1 in Buenos Aries. But for a brief month-long interim presidency in 1861, the four men would have served in succession.
