EVENTS
CONSTITUTION OF LODGE, OCTOBER 1858
From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. XVIII, No. 1, November 1858, Page 19:
This is a new Lodge, which has just been established in the neighboring village of Malden, under highly favorable auspices. Having worked a year under Dispensation, it was constituted by the executive officers of the Grand Lodge, on Thursday, the 12th of October, when the officers were installed, and the hall, which has been tastefully and appropriately fitted up, was dedicated according to ancient usage. The ceremonies and services were conducted by the Grand Master, assisted by his officers, and passed off to the gratification of a large collection of Brethren, numbering over one hundred, from Boston, Charlestown, and Somerville. After the ceremonies, a Poem, of great merit and appropriateness, was delivered by Rev. Bro. T. J. Greenwood, a Chaplain of the new Lodge, by whom the excellent hymns sang on the occasion were also written.
The officers installed are as follows:
- B. G. Hill, Master
- Charles Hill and James Bartlett, Wardens
- Edward D. Bell, Treas.
- W. D. Holden, Secy.
- Geo. D. Allen and R. W. Dresser, Deacons
- Thos. S. Shedd and H. H. Hyde, Stewards
- Rev. T. J. Greenwood, Chaplain, and
- Thomas Tufts, Tyler
