NOTES IN THE CENTENARY HISTORY OF MOUNT VERNON LODGE, NOVEMBER 1957
From Proceedings, Page 1957-160:
The beginning of Masonry in our community stretches back far beyond the one hundred years we are currently commemorating. A half century earlier, in June 1815, a charter was granted to a group of Brethren in Maiden under the name of Mt. Hermon Lodge. This charter was deposited with the Grand Lodge about the year 1828.
