EVENTS
CONSECRATION, JUNE 1867
From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. XXVI, No. 10, August 1867, Page 318:
This new Lodge was constituted, its hall dedicated, and its officers were publicly installed, at Edgartown, by the M. W. Grand Lodge, on the evening of the 8th July last. The ceremonies of installation took place in the Methodist church, which, though unusually large, was crowded to its utmost capacity. It seemed to us that about all the ladies in the town were present, and by their beauty imparted an increased interest to the occasion. At the conclusion of the ceremonies the members of the new Lodge and of Martha's Vineyard Lodge with the ladies and guests, repaired to the Town Hall where an elegant and bountiful entertainment was spread for their refreshment.
The Lodge is in excellent condition and its prospects for the future are most encouraging. The following is a list of its officers : —
- John Pierce, W. M.
- Grafton N. Collins, S. W.
- James M. Cooms, Jr., J. W.
- T. W. Crosby, Treas.
- W. S. Lewis, Secy.
- Jeremiah Pease, S. D.
- Jas. W. Donaldson, J. D.
- T. R. Holly, S. S.
- Thos. M. Peakes, J. S.
