The order of the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa was organized by T. W. Stringer, who organized the Supreme Lodge at Vicksburg, Miss., April 17, 1880. The order grew rapidly, subordinate and Grand Lodges were established in several states within a short time.
T. W. Stringer, the first Supreme Chancellor and founder of the order, was a man of exceptional ability and sterling character and a great organizer, and he has a worthy successor in the present Supreme Chancellor, S. W. Stark, under whose leadership the order has enjoyed a most phenominal growth.
