The many faces of John G. Downey

Crawford Street Downey 1880-1890

Downey Masonic Lodge Crawford Ave. early 1920's.


"Each generation, no doubt, has said: "This is the greatest age in  the history of man. Surely none greater will ever be," and yet, looking back in the light of this present day , we know that human intellect hath wrought  more superior wonders with each passing decade. Our admiration mounts higher and higher as we realize the wisdom of the Eternal God and the latent potentialities within the human mind, awaiting but the transforming power of circumstances to bring them forth with courage and perseverance."
Easter Bangle Morrison 1939        From "History of Downey and Vicinity "
