EVENTS

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly Magazine, Vol. XXIII, No. 3, January, 1864:

The officers of this Lodge, located at Marlborough, were publicly installed on Monday evening, Dec. 14th. The attendance of the members with their wives and daughters and female friends, was large, and all seemed to enjoy the occasion. The ceremonies of Installation were performed by the deputy of the District, R. W. Rev. J. W. Dadmun, in a very impressive and acceptable manner. The charge to the officers and members was given by M. W. Grand Master Parkman, and we have rarely listened to a more finished extemporaneous performance of the kind. It was fervent, earnest and appropriate. The Grand Master was followed by the Rev. Br. Dadmun, in a neat and appropriate address to the Lodge; after which tbs audience repaired to an adjacent hall where a well spread supper had been prepared for their refreshment. The occasion was one of much interest to all present. The officers for the year are as follows :—

B. Morris, W. M.
S. J. Shaw, S. W.
E. A. Bradley, J. W.
W. M. Waren, Treasurer
J. F. Coiling, Secretary
P. E. Millay, S. D.
J. W. Romans, J. D.
W. E. Worcester, Marshal
N. Wetherbee, Chaplain
C. E. Hall, S. S.
M. H. Albee, J. S.
S. B. Parmenter, Tyler.
