EVENTS

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly Magazine, Vol. XXIV, No. 3, February 1865, p. 119:

DORIC LODGE. This is the name of a new Lodge, which for the past year has been working under Dispensation in the pleasant village of Feltonville, a part of the town of Marlborough, in Middlesex County. Its charter was granted on the 14th of December last, and the Lodge was duly constituted by the Grand Lodge on the 19th of January. In the evening the officers were publicly installed by the Grand Master, in one of the churches of the village, which had been kindly granted for the occasion. The house was filled to its full capacity by ladies and gentlemen and Brethren of the Lodge, and from the neighboring towns. At the conclusion of the ceremonies Grand Master Parkman addressed the assembly in his usual forcible manner, on the nature, antiquity and extent of the Institution. He was listened to with great attention, and his remarks were well calculated to leave a favorable impression on the minds of his hearers. At the conclusion of the services in the church, the company proceeded to an adjoining Hall, where a bountiful and well spread banquet had been provided for them by, we believe, Mr. John L. Miller, the accomodating host of the Mansion House.

The Hall in which the Lodge will in future hold its meetings is over the church, is commodious in its arrangements and appurtenances, and has been neatly fitted up. The officers installed are as follows:

• Philip D. Millay, W. M.
• A. K. Greene, S. W.
• O. F. Rollins, J. W.
• Willard Houghton, Treas.
• Edwin Amsden, Secretary
• Charles E. Hall, S. D.
• E. M. Taylor, J. D.
• L. T. Jefts, Chaplain.
• Gen. Houghton, Marshal
• G. W. Warfield, S. S.
• W. C. Hazeltine, J. S.
• W. L. Witham, Tyler
