Fraternal intro card owned by Bro. E.S(?) Wagar some time in the 1880s. This particular card is Bro. Wagar's Scottish Rite intro card, but added in his own hand is "Ionia Commandary #11". We are unable to find an "E.S." Wagar in our membership database. The closest we have is an "E.A. Wagar" who was raised in Lyons #37 back in 1859 and died in 1901. Lyons #37 was in the general geographical area as Ionia and Edmore, Michigan.
