EVENTS

INSTALLATION, JANUARY 1849

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. VIII, No. 4, February 1849, p. 137:

GRECIAN LODGE, LAWRENCE.

The officers of the above Lodge were publicly installed at the Lecture Room of the Congregational Society, in Lawrence, on Tuesday evening, Jan. 6. St. Matthew's Lodge, from Andover, and Pentucket Lodge, from Lowell, were present. The ceremonies of Installation devolved upon R. W. Br. G. G. Smith, of Boston. The following are the Officers:—

  • Benjamin Boardman, W. M.
  • Leonard Stoddard, S. W.
  • John B. Atkinson, J. W.
  • Fairfield White, Trees.
  • David Dana, Sec
  • Thomas Wright, S. D.
  • John McGregor, J. D.
  • Rev. George H. Clark, Chaplain
  • George A. Lloyd, S. S.
  • Andrew J. Anderson, J. S.
  • Bartlett D. Crockett, Tyler.

The ceremonies of Installation having been concluded, (says the Lawrence Courier,) the audience, comprising about six hundred persons, listened attentively for about three-fourths of an hour, to an address by R. W. Rev. Geo. M. Randall, Deputy Grand Master, of Boston. At the conclusion of the services at the church, the Masons, with their wives and families, and a large number of invited guests, repaired to Masonic Hall, where a collation had been provided. The tables were spread in good taste, and the remains at the conclusion of the repast gave ample proof that they proffered plenty as well as hospitality. The company was large, and if conviviality and pleas ant countenances can be taken as an index to the general gratification of the assembly, it would be difficult to find a happier company than the one here congre gated. The company broke up about half-past ten o'clock.
