− | == DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS, 1867 through 1882 == | + | Grand Master [http://masonicgenealogy.com/MediaWiki/index.php?title=GMDame Charles C. Dame] established 16 Masonic Districts in Massachusetts; beginning with the 1870 ''Proceedings'', returns from each lodge in each district were published annually, providing information on the district organization. In addition, Chile, China and Peru (from 1867-1869) had their own extraterritorial districts. Based on dispensations and charters, the district alignments and lodge lists begin on the pages from 1867 onward. |
