The above is a rather unusual, but perhaps not inappropriate, name of a new Lodge at Chatham, on Cape Cod, which, having worked its year under dispensation, and received its charter at the quarterly communication of the Grand Lodge in March, was constituted by the Grand Master and his officers on the 7th of April last. Chatham is comparatively a small town, but not destitute of a sufficient number of zealous and faithful brethren to maintain a good and respectable Lodge. Its increase will probably be slow, for the reason that its population is not large, and that an important part of its active men are engaged in a sea-faring life, and necessarily absent much of the time. Still, there will be enough left to maintain it respectably, and make it a source of pleasant enjoyment to all. We are sure it has the best wishes of the Grand Lodge for its future prosperity and continuance. The officers for the current year are :—

CONSTITUTION OF LODGE, APRIL 1873

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. XXXII, No. 5, May 1873, Page 155:

The above is a rather unusual, but perhaps not inappropriate, name of a new Lodge at Chatham, on Cape Cod, which, having worked its year under dispensation, and received its charter at the quarterly communication of the Grand Lodge in March, was constituted by the Grand Master and his officers on the 7th of April last. Chatham is comparatively a small town, but not destitute of a sufficient number of zealous and faithful brethren to maintain a good and respectable Lodge. Its increase will probably be slow, for the reason that its population is not large, and that an important part of its active men are engaged in a sea-faring life, and necessarily absent much of the time. Still, there will be enough left to maintain it respectably, and make it a source of pleasant enjoyment to all. We are sure it has the best wishes of the Grand Lodge for its future prosperity and continuance. The officers for the current year are :—

  • Benj. D. Gifford, W. Master.
  • Harrison Hamilton, S. W.
  • Solomon Nickerson, J. W.
  • Kimble Ryder, Treas.
  • Albert Thacher, Sec.
  • S. W. Nickerson, Sen. Dea.
  • David W. Edwards, J. Dea.
  • James H. Tripp, S. Steward
  • Sullivan Rogers, Tyler.
