HALL DEDICATION, DECEMBER 1857

PRESENTATION, MAY 1863
From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. XXII, No. 8, June 1863, Page 92:
At a special communication of Jordan Lodge of South Danvers, held on Wednesday evening, May 6, M. W. Grand Master William Parkman being present, was invited by R. W. D. D. William Sutton, in behalf of the Lodge, to present Past Master's Jewels to W. Bros. Patterson and Tapley, two long tried and faithful Past officers of the Lodge.
Grand Master Parkman after congratulating the Lodge upon its long continuance (since 1808,) and exhorting its members to continue in that high-toned devotion to our beloved institution with that zeal which had characterized the founders and early members of the Lodge, addressed himself to Bro. Patterson, in a few pertinent remarks upon the object of Jewels to perpetuate, in lasting material, the records of past services, presented him with a beautiful silver Jewel—to which Bro. Patterson made a very happy and truly Masonic reply.
Bro. Tapley was then presented with a similar Jewel, suitably inscribed, with the remark, that though he had not served so long as his predecessor, yet having youth, he could again put on the badge of office, if the Lodge should require his services. The Bro. on receiving his Jewel replied in a few words of thanks, which we know came from a true Masonic heart. The evening was most pleas antly passed by the visitors, and was one that will be long remembered by every member present.
