CONSTITUTION OF LODGE, JANUARY 1856
From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. XV, No. 5, March 1856, Page 136:
This is a new Lodge, and has been working under a Dispensation for a little more than a year. Having thus ascertained from experience, that it would probably be able to sustain itself for the future, the Grand Lodge very cordially granted, it a charter, and on the 31st of January last it was solemnly consecrated by the M. W. Grand Master, assisted by several officers of the Grand Lodge. The ceremony of consecration was performed in accordance with the ancient ritual of the Craft, and to the great acceptance of all present. The officers of the Lodge were then installed by the R. W. Senior Grand Warden, Col. J. T. Heard, acting as Deputy Grand Master. The charges were then given with an exactness and propriety, and gracefulness of delivery, which we have rarely seen equalled.
The officers having been duly inducted into their proper places, the M. W. Grand Master briefly addressed the new Lodge in his usual happy and pertinent manner, giving them advice and counsel suited to the occasion. The Grand Lodge then retired and the Lodge was closed. After which the visiting Brethren, by invitation of the new Lodge, spent a social hour at the banqueting table.
Medford is one of our oldest and most beautiful suburban towns. It is also a place of much business and is rapidly increasing in population. The present is the first Lodge ever established in the town ; and we are happy to add that it is well officered and starts on its career of usefulness under highly favorable auspices. It has our best wishes for its future prosperity. Its present officers are George Hervey, W. M.; Elisha Stetson, S. W.; Elbridge G. Currell, J. W.; Hiram Southworth, Treasurer; Samuel C. Lawrence, Secretary; C. B. Johnson, S. D.; C F. Merrill, J. D.; David Simpson, S. S.; Samuel W. Sanborn, J. S.; James Ford, T. The Lodge meets on Thursday after the full moon.
