The minutes of Baraboo Lodge 34, Baraboo Wisconsin, from April 8, 1891 — 120 years ago today — read as follows: "A special meeting was called to hear a report of a committee relative to the purchase of a lot where the temple now stands. The meeting was opened by the regular officers, after which the following assumed the chairs: WM, Alf T. Ringling; SW, August Ringling; JW, Al Ringling; SD, Charles Ringling; JD, Otto Ringling; and SS, Henry Ringling." The Ringlings, along with their other brothers and father were ardent Masons. Together, the brothers owned a business you may be familiar with — The Ringling Brother's Circus.
