Holding
The court held that an instrument purporting to convey property to a trustee for the benefit of an unincorporated Masonic lodge was void for failing to create a valid express trust, as it did not specify a purpose authorized by statute and its terms were impermissibly vague and uncertain, leaving the property to result to the grantor’s heirs.
