Most Worshipful Brother William Arthur Carter Most Worshipful Brother William Arthur Carter Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons of Utah 1951. Brother William Arthur Carter, our Seventy-sixth Grand Master of the M: .W: .Grand Lodge, F. & A. M. of Utah, was born February 24, 1889, at Bismark, Hot Springs County, Arkansas, a son of James W. and Carrie L. Carter. He received his education at Arkadelphia, Arkansas, where he attended the grammar and high schools and at Ouochita College, Arkadelphia, Arkansas. He and Miss Glennie Moore, also of Arkadelphia. were married August 17, 1915, and shortly after their marriage moved to Battle Creek, Michigan, where he was associated with the Grand Trunk Railway Company and Postum Cereal Company for two years. On June 1, 1917, he joined The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company as a Life Underwriter at Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was transferred by that company to Salt Lake City in December, 1917, to take the position of Office Manager which he occupied until September 21, 1921, when he was advanced to the position of General Agent. He continued in that position until June 1, 1938. when he relinquished managerial duties on advice of his physician, on account of a heart impairment. He is still associated with that company, however, with the title of Associate General Agent. Mrs. Carter passed away February 13, 1928, in Salt Lake City and two years later, May 31, 1930, Brother Carter and Miss Kathryn C. Cummings of Salt Lake City were married. Since coming to Salt Lake City he has been very active in civic affairs. He is a member and Past President of the Salt Lake City Kiwanis Club; a member of the Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce and for three years served on the Board of Governors of that organization; Past President of the Salt Lake Country Club; member and Past President of the Bonneville Knife and Fork Club; past Board member and Chairman of the Budget Committee of the Salt Lake City Community Chest; Past President of the Family Service Society; also, active member and Past President of the Salt Lake City Underwriters' Association. Brother Carter became a Master Mason November 28, 1913, in Arkadelphia Lodge No. 381 of Arkadelphia, Arkansas. and on October G, 1922, affiliated with Argenta Lodge No.3 of Salt Lake City and was installed as Worshipful Master of that lodge in December, 1941. He received the degrees from the 4th to 32nd in the Scottish Rite Bodies of Utah at the Fiftieth Reunion held November 21, 22 and 23, 1927, and was honored with the rank and decoration of Knight Commander of the Court of Honor, December 12,1947. He was elected by the Supreme Council to that honor October 16, 1945, but illness prevented him from participating in the Investiture made on the other six members on January 10, 1946. In the American (York) Rite of Freemasonry he was Exalted November 7. 1923, in Salt Lake Chapter, Royal Arch Masons. Salt Lake Chapter No.5 and Utah Chapter No.1 were consolidated by mutual agreement in 1933 and Brother Carter served Utah Chapter No.1 as High Priest during the Masonic year 1946-47; he was Greeted March 30, 1940, in Utah Council No.1, Royal and Select Masters; Knighted March 31, 1943, in Utah Commandery No.1, Knights Temple and on May 27, 1950, was Installed Knight Companion in Bonneville Conclave No. 25, Red Cross of Constantine.

He is a member of the Board of Governors of the Intermountain Unit. Shriners' Hospitals for Crippled Children. Brother Carter having had thirty-five years experience in the business world, seventeen of which were in an executive position of importance and responsibility and more particularly because of his many years of activity in and devotion to Masonry, we believe him to be well qualified and will perform the duties of Grand Master during the coming year in a manner acceptable to all.
