It is with deep sorrow, rendered the more deep by a long and intimate personal friendship, that we record the death of this estimable brother — an event as un-looked for as it was sudden, and which has taken from us, and from a large circle of attached friends, a genial, social and respected companion. He died on Wednesday morning, Feb. 28, of an affection of the heart, hastened on' to its fatal termination by an attack of pleurisy, at a moment when his family and friends were rejoicing in the prospect of his immediate recovery.  But a Higher Power had ordered it otherwise.

EVENTS

CONSTITUTION OF LODGE, JULY 1866

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. XXV, No. 10, August 1866, p. 319:

LAFAYETTE LODGE, ROXBURY.

This new Lodge was constituted and its officers were installed on Monday evening, July 2, 1866. The ceremonies were performed by the Grand Lodge, M. W. Charles C. Dame, Grand Master, assisted by the Grand Officers. The exercises were interspersed with music, performed by a choir of male voices in a very admirable and effective manner. The elegant hall of the Lodge was conveniently filled by the members and their ladies, the latter being admitted after the ceremony of constitution.

Before proceeding with the installation of the officers, one of the ten brethren who had been initiated while the Lodge was working under dispensation came forward, and for himself and associates present*") the Lodge, in a modest speech, with an elegant and costly set of Jewels. They were received by the W. Master, Br. C. J. Danforth, in appropriate and fitting terms, and handed to the Grand Master, who immediately proceeded to install and invest the officers with them, as follows:

  • C. J. Danforth, W. M
  • John Kneeland, S. W.
  • William Hobbs, Jr., J. W.
  • W. B. May, Treas.
  • C. L. Lane, Sec
  • W. F. Mullen, S. D.
  • F. Briggs, J. D.
  • D.Wheeler, S. S.
  • H. W. Wills, J. S.
  • J. Bacon, Marshal.

At the conclusion of the exercises in the lodge-room, the gentlemen with their ladies repaired to the banqueting-hall, where tables were handsomely spread and bountifully furnished for their refreshment.
