Panther City Lodge Was Chartered By The Grand Lodge Of Texas December 9, 1921.  The Lodge originally met in a Downtown location and at one time hosted another of the newer lodges, W.W. Peavy Lodge #1162 which  became Cooke-Peavy Lodge in the 1950's.

Panther City Lodge has been the home of numerous Masons who are well known locally and statewide.  It is the home of Past Grand Master of Masons in Texas, J.D. Tomme; the Charter Master, H. Malvern Marks was a significant worker not only in Craft Masonry but also the DeMolay.  Recently, Panther City is home of the most appointed Grand Officer in Texas History, Michie M. Brous.  Michie has served 13 times as the Grand Organist for the Grand Lodge of Texas and is currently in his 15th year as Grand Organist for the Grand Chapter or Royal Arch of Texas and his 15th year as Grand Organist for th Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters.

The list of members of Panther City who have been selected to serve the Grand Lodge as either District Deputy Grand Masters, Committee Members or in other roles is almost too long to list.  Panther City Members routinely are called upon to serve one of the many Grand Bodies of Texas Masonry. Current Master Bruce Hammond is completing his second year on the Texas History Committee and serves as Vice President of the Fort Worth Masonic Service Bureau; Steve Piland, Past Master is the current President of the Masters, Wardens and Secretaries Association for the 64th Masonic District.

In the recent years Panther City has seen a large influx of members who have become very active in the Moslah Shrine Temple.  These include the current Potentate, Illustrious Sir Richard P. Evans who is a Past Master of Panther City; Moe Rahmeh, who is currently the President of the Moslah Oriental Band, the Bedhouins, and Panther City Master in 2010-2011; William J. Noah is President of the Moslah Motor Corp; Brett Weissner, Immediate Past President of the Mystic Wheels (the largest motorized unit in Texas); and others hold lesser offices.  The Members of Panther City work hard collecting money on street corners and store fronts, IHOP Pancake Days and the Shrine Circus.

In York Rite Masonry, in addition to Michie Brous, there are several officers of local Chapters and Councils, Commanderies and York Rite Associations and Colleges.  Our current Secretary, John A. Hughes is a Deputy Grand Governor for the Soveriegn York Rite Colleges of America. Current Master, Bruce Hammond is an Officer in Trinity York Rite College, Past High Priest of Texas Chapter and Council and Commander of Worth Commandery. Two more Junior Officers, David Kisselburg and David Hibner are also currently in the officer line of Texas Chapter and Council and David Kisselburg is also Jr Warden in Worth Commandery.
