The Kinross, now known as the Evander gold field was
opened up in the 1950s and attracted many masons to
the area. Some could still attend their mother
lodges on the East Rand, and others joined or
visited Bethel United but eventuallv it was decided
to form a new lodge, which met in the Kinross Town
Hall until it obtained its own premises.
The land for the lodge's masonic hall was donated by
the Dorfan family in memory of Bro Dorfan who was
unfortunately killed in the last few days of the
Second World war. The masonic hall was completed in
1966, and was named after W Bro Dr Mendel Spitz,
PAGDC, who had taken a leading part in promoting the
formation of the lodge and in planning and carrying
through the hall project.
By the early 1980s the lodge roll had built up to
over 70, but the active membership suffered from the
transfers characteristic of a mining area, and other
factors, and some ground was lost. However, the
latest reports indicate a renewed strengthening of
the lodge, and for this, particular credit is
attributed to the Preceptor for many years, W Bro N
J Nortje.
