EVENTS

HALL DEDICATION, JANUARY 1847

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly Magazine, Vol. VI, No. 4, February, 1847, p. 108:

On the 15th, the new Lodge room, recently fitted up by Mount Tabor Lodge, at East Boston, was dedicated by the Grand Lodge. The officers were also, at the same time, publicly installed by the Grand Master, in the presence of about three hundred persons, ladies and other invited guests. The address was delivered by Rev. Br. Cobb.

See also the 1858 hall dedication.

FESTIVAL, JANUARY 1864

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly Magazine, Vol. XXIII, No. 6, April, 1864, p. 179:

This excellent Lodge, located at East Boston, held a pleasant festival at their Lodge room, on the 28th of January last. On this occasion the wives and daughters of the members were invited, and their presence added much to the interest of the occasion. Their services in the hall consisted of excellent singing by the choir, prayer by the Chaplain, Rev. Dr. Cook, and the address by Rev. Br. Studley, the subject of which was the Life, Works and Character of our first Great Grand Master Solomon. It was an eloquent and intensely interesting address.

After the address the company repaired to the Sturtevant House, where an excellent banquet was in waiting for them. Between three and four hundred were present, and after doing ample justice to the good things prepared for them, Worshspful Master Frederick W. Dunbar made a brief and appropriate welcome address, in which he expressed his great pleasure at meeting so many, and especially the ladies, around the festive board. He called out in succession M. W. G. M. William Parkman of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, R. W. District Deputy Grand Master Dadmun, Rev. Bro. S. W. Foljambe and J. S. Bingham, all of whom made brief and pleasing addresses. Grand Master Parkman said the Order was never more prosperous than at the present time, and also spoke of its extension into the army where there are eleven army Lodges in working order, and where the benign influences flowing from the Order were realized as they never had been realized before. The occasion was a very pleasant one to all present.

We learn that Mount Tabor Lodge is in a very flourishing condition. Its members have lately been largely increased; among them are many of the leading men of East Boston.

INSTALLATION, DECEMBER 1875

From New England Freemason, Vol. II, No. 12, December 1875, Page 599:

On the 8th inst. the following-named officers were installed by Past Master William D. Barrett:

  • Martin M. Hancock, W. M.
  • Charles G. Brooks, S. W.
  • James H. Bent, J. W.
  • Samuel McWilliam, Treas.
  • and J. H. S. Pearson, Sec.

At the Communication on the 16th inst. Brother Barrett was presented with an elegant Past Master's jewel in massive gold, ornamented with diamonds. This testimonial was the gift of the Lodge, and bears upon the back the inscription: " Mount Tabor Lodge to Worshipful Brother William D. Barrett, Past Master, 1874 and 1875. December 16th, 1875." It was manufactured by Messrs. Guild & Delano, of Boston, and is one of the finest specimens we have seen of the handicraft of those Brethren. It is alike creditable to the skill of the makers, the liberality of the donors, and the zeal and efficiency of the recipient.
