EVENTS

CONSTITUTION OF LODGE, MARCH 1862

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. XXI, No. 5, March 1862, Page 192:

This new Lodge having been working the usual time under a Dispensation at South Dedham, was duly constituted and its officers were publicly installed by the M. W. Grand Master, on Tuesday the 18th ult. The new Hall, which is well fitted up, and with its adjoining apartments, is in all respects well adapted to the purposes for which it is required, was Dedicated in the afternoon, at which time the Lodge was constituted. In the evening the installation took place, in the presence of the ladies of the Brethren, and as many other visitors as the room would accommodate. The ceremonies were impressively performed and oil present seemed to be interested in them. An excellent collation was generously provided by the ladies, thus evincing their respect for the Institution. Our hope is that they may never find occasion to think otherwise than favorably of it, or any of its members.

INSTALLATION, MARCH 1867

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. XXVI, No. 6, April 1867, Page 188:

At the regular meeting of the Orient Lodge, South Dedham, the following gentlemen were installed as officers for the current year:

  • J. E. Everett, W. M.
  • W. H. Gay, S. W.
  • H. R. Jenks, J. W.
  • Joseph Day, Treasurer.
  • G.L. Rhoads, Secretary.
  • J. A. Rhoads, S. D.
  • A. M. Shapleigh, J. D.
  • G. H. Morse, S. S.
  • Anson Morse, J. S.
  • W. H. Billings, Marshal.
  • Rev. George Hill, Chaplain.
  • Warren E. Rhoads, Tyler.

The installation ceremonies were conducted by W. P. M. John L. Stevenson, of Mount Lebanon Lodge, Boston. After the installation, the members of the Lodge and a goodly number of visiting brethren partook of a bountiful collation.
