HISTORY

NOTES FROM 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF FEDERAL LODGE, APRIL 1938

From Proceedings, Page 1938-412:

"Capt. Wm. Sizer . . . was Master of old Federal Lodge in 1794. I do not know where he resided or was buried. By the old church records at Chester Center he died December 1, 1826, age 80. As indicative of his standing I will mention that in the seating of the church by "dignities," both he and Capt. Toogood were placed in "Dignity Second." . . . Our present Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M. was formed in 1792 by the union of Old Massachuserts Grand Lodge and the Old St. John's Grand Lodge. That year the afore-mentioned David Scott and Capt. Wm. Toogood presented the Grand Lodge a petition for forming a new Lodge, which was granted and the Charter was given to the town of Blandford, under the name of Federal Lodge. Two years later Capt. Wm. Sizer, Master, and Justus Ashmun, Senior Warden, of the Lodge, forwarded a request for permission to hold meetings alternately in Blandford and Chester, which was granted."
