The officers of Amicable Lodge, Cambridgeport, were installed by the Grand Lodge of this State, on Tuesday evening, March 17th. A large number of Brethren were present, and the prospects of the Lodge are encouraging. Among the members present were two of the original petitioners of the Charter, which was granted in 1805.


From Moore's Freemason's Monthly Magazine, Vol. XXV, No. 4, February 1866, p. 116:

The new and superb Masonic Hall of Amicable Lodge, at Cambridgeport, was dedicated by the M. W. Grand Lodge, on Thursday the 4th lilt. The ceremonies were performed by the M. W. Grand Master, Brother Charles C. Dame, assisted by his officers, in accordance with the usual Masonic formula, and in an impressive manner. They were interspersed with appropriate music and singing under the direction of Brother A. H. Hews. At the conclusion of these ceremonies the officers for the present year were installed by the Grand Master, as follows:—

  • Henry Endicott, W. M.
  • Eben Denton, S. W.
  • F. W. Gregory, J. W.

The new Lodge-room is a very fine and spacious apartment, appropriately chaste in its finish and furnishings. It is not probably excelled in these respects by any similar room in the State. The ante-rooms are equally elegant, and are most admirably adapted and fitted up for the purposes for which they are designed.
