Presbyterian clergyman Moses D. Hoge was said to have been the most eloquent speaker in the southern Presbyterian church. Lodge 51, Richmond, Virginia initiated him into all three degrees November 22, 1898 and appointed him Lodge Chaplain. The entire ceremony took place in his bedroom with Brother Hoge on his deathbed. Lodge minutes reported the Grand Master of Virginia, R.T.W. Duke, Jr., conferred the degrees, "dispensing with such portions of the ceremony as in his opinion the physical condition of the candidate required."
