RESTORATION OF CHARTER
From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. XII, No. 2, December 1852, p. 61:
Haverhill, Mass., Nov. 17, 1852.
Bro. Moore:—Merrimack Lodge, Haverhill, in this State, having petitioned the Grand Lodge to restore them their charter, which was given np in the "time that tried men's souls," have had the same restored to them, and met on Tuesday evening last, and organized by the choice of:
- Dr. Rufus Longley, Master
- Elbridge J. Eaton, S. W.
- Timothy J. Goodrich, J. W.
- Isaac Harding, Treasurer
- John Edwards, Secretary
- Rufus T. Slocomb, S. D.
- Eben, D. Bailey, J. D.
- Barzilla Davis, S. S.
- Andrew Johnson, J. S.
Their charter bears date 1802—and for many years, was one of the best working Lodges in the State. With the help of a few Apprentices, and with their own endeavors, they are determined to make it as useful and influential as in its palmiest days.
Yours, Fraternally, C. O. E.
