This exquisite framed Freemason certificate, dated April 19, 1912, commemorates the induction of Warren Koons Miller into the esteemed ranks of Master Masons. Measuring about 18.5 x 23 inches, this historically significant piece is housed in its original frame, preserving the craftsmanship and elegance of over a century ago. It features numerous cryptic symbols that secret society pieces are most known for.
The certificate honors Attorney Warren Koons Miller. Miller was born on October 23, 1883, in Schwenksville, Pennsylvania. A respected public figure, Miller served as a representative in the Pennsylvania State House in 1913. He then went on to become the District Attorney for Lehigh County, Pennsylvania from 1915 until his death in 1918. His lifelong commitment to public service was matched by his involvement in the Freemason fraternity, a legacy forever commemorated by this certificate. Miller unfortunately died at the age of 35 in 1918 due to the influenza epidemic.
Crafted with intricate detail, this framed document offers a glimpse into both the history of Freemasonry and the personal legacy of a distinguished public servant. The certificate’s age, combined with its rich historical context, makes it a rare and highly collectible artifact for enthusiasts of Freemason memorabilia, local history, and early 20th-century Americana.
