Here you can see the document is stating that a man named Barzillia F Wright, Jr. has achieved the first 3rd degrees of Masonry and is being given the "sublime degree of Royal Arch Mason"

You guys are slightly off track...

Though he is not mentioned in Craft Freemasonry, Zerubbabel is considered to be of great importance to a number of Masonic bodies. Within the Holy Royal Arch, and Royal Arch Masonry he is considered to be a ruling principal.[24] In the Knights Templar his example of truth and fidelity is used as the foundation of the Illustrious Order of the Red Cross.[25] And all three degrees of Knight Masonry deal specifically with the life and time of Zerubbabel.
