Photograph of John Wyland in Masonic vest and apron, probably when he served as the Missouri Grand Lodge as district deputy grand master. Wyland was a member of United Lodge No. 5, Springfield, Missouri; he demitted (resigned from) that lodge on November 15, 1866 and transferred to Perseverance Lodge No. 92 in Louisiana, Missouri. He was expelled from Perseverance Lodge on August 26, 1869, and never accepted back into the fraternity.
