This is an undated ribbon from the Widow\'s Son Masonic Lodge 60 in Charlottesville, Virginia. Although it is undated, the information below adds to the mystery of exact age given both \"Widow\'s Son Lodge\" and \"Charlottesville, VA\" appear on the ribbon.
___From their website:In the records of a meeting held on February 14, 1801, the Lodge is for the first time designated by its number as Widow\'s Son Lodge No. 60. In all the records of the Lodge up to that date it is referred to as \"the Lodge called Widow\'s Son Lodge.\" Although referred to in the \"Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Virginia\" as Widow Son\'s and in the early minutes of the Lodge itself as Widow\'s Son, the name of the Lodge appearing on its charter is Widow\'s Sons\', which is the official designation used today.
Two years elapsed before any favorable action was taken by the Grand Lodge on the petition of Widow\'s Sons\' Lodge No. 60 that it is permitted to move from Milton. In 1813, the petition had been rejected as being unreasonable. However, at an annual communication of the Grand Lodge held on December 13, 1815, a resolution was adopted granting leave to Widow\'s Sons\' Lodge No. 60 \"to remove to and pursue their Masonic workings in the town of Charlottesville.\"
