Members of Victory Lodge No. 694, Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania, recently honored two of their members celebrating 60 years of service to Freemasonry and the Butler-area community.

Bert Korieth and John Baird, both of Butler, joined Victory Lodge No. 694 in 1953. Wayne Frankenstein of Zelienople, District Deputy Grand Master of the 26th Masonic District, presented their gold Masonic 60-Year pins.

The ceremony was at the Butler Masonic Temple, 346 S. Main St., Butler. Freemasonry is the world's oldest and largest fraternity.
