EVENTS

CONSTITUTION OF LODGE, APRIL 1873

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. XXXII, No. 5, May 1873, Page 143:

The above Lodge bears the name of an estimable brother, the Deputy Grand Master for the District in which it is located, and starts off with a fair promise of rivaling the best of its sister Lodges in the county. It is composed almost wholly of young men, and when it is said that the petition for its charter bears the names of eleven brethren only, and that during the year it has been working under its dispensation it has admitted twenty-seven candidates, and built and richly furnished one of the most tasteful and inviting halls in the interior of the State, little more need be added in evidence of the zeal, enterprise and liberality of its founders. It was regularly constituted by Grand Master Nickerson on the 10th of April last, when its hall was dedicated and its officers installed. The Grand Officers present were, the Grand Master; D. G. M.; S. G. W.; Parkman as J. G. W.; P. G. M. Lewis, and Bros. Moore; W. W. Wheildon; R. M. Field; Titus; Chessman and others.

The ceremonies were all conducted in private and to much greater advantage and acceptance to the brethren than could have been done in the presence of a mixed assemblage. At the conclusion of them, G. M. Nickerson delivered one of his most happy and effective addresses to the brethren of the new Lodge, when the Grand Lodge retired, and soon after met the brethren at the dinner table in the excellent hotel kept by Bro. Wm. F. Wood. The dining room was beautifully dressed with flowers and trailing vines, and the tables were literally loaded with the best the market afforded. Among the visitors present was Bro. Ebenezer Wood, an initiate of Corinthian Lodge, Concord, Mass., aged 81 years, having been a Mason 54 years. Short speeches were made at the table by several of the brethren; at the conclusion of which the Grand Lodge took the cars for Boston. The officers of the Lodge are:

  • Joseph W. Reed, Master.
  • Jas. L. Phillips, S. W.
  • John Hickland, J. W.
  • Eli B. Chase, Treas.
  • T. E. Trampleasure, Sec.
  • John B. Graham and John Proudman, Deacons.

We have not the names of the other officers.
