From Moore's Freemason's Monthly Magazine, Vol. XXIII, No. 3, January, 1864, p. 96:
From The Battle-field. We have had relumed to us within a few days, a Grand Lodge Certificate, issued on the 14th May, 1863, to Br. Joseph H. Watson, by Warren Army Lodge, No. 10, attached to the 33d Mass, regt., then stationed near Falmouth, in Virginia. It was picked up after the recent fight at Rappahannock Station, and is supposed to have belonged to one of the five Federal soldiers killed in that battle, neither of whose bodies could be identified. The lappel of the coat of one of them had been torn away by a fragment of a shell, by which he was probably killed, and it is conjectured that the Certificate may have been in his breast pocket and thus thrown out. It does not however bear any marks of violence to authorize such a conjecture, and it may have accidentally fallen from the pocket of the Brother to whom it belonged, and who may yet be in the service of his country. If so, we shall be most happy to restore it to him on learning his whereabouts.
