NOTES FROM THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF GATE OF THE TEMPLE LODGE, MARCH 1930
From Proceedings, Page 1930-227; Address of Grand Secretary Frederick W. Hamilton:
About Agawam Lodge hangs a tale. Their Dispensation was returned at the March meeting of 1856. A committee was appointed, as was customary in those days, and they reported back, deferring action for three months, until June, 1856, and that was the last that was ever heard of Agawam Lodge, but in June, 1856, it was voted to restore the Charter of Social Harmony Lodge of Wareham which had been surrendered during the persecution. So that, evidently, instead of taking out a Charter as a new Lodge this group of men who had started Agawam got the Charter of the old Lodge and went on as the Social Harmony that we know today.
