EVENTS

CONSTITUTION, JANUARY 1866

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. XXV, No. 5, March 1866, p. 159:

This new Lodge, located in the pleasant village of Holliston, in Middlesex County, was duly constituted by the M. W. Grand Lodge, on Thursday, Jan. 30. The ceremonies of constituting the Lodge and dedicating the Hall, were performed in the presence of a large assemblage of the brethren; after which the officers were installed by the M. W. Grand Master, Bro. Charles C. Dame, in the Town Hall, and in the presence of not less than seven hundred persons, including a large proportion of ladies. At the conclusion of the ceremonies here, the members of the new Lodge, with their wives and daughters, and other guests, to the number of two hundred and thirty, repaired to the Winthrop House to supper, where a couple of hours were spent in a very agreeable manner; not the least agreeable of which, perhaps, was the speaking by the Master of the Lodge, the Grand Master, and others. The Lodge has been eminently successful during the year it has been under Dispensation, and the prospect for the future is encouraging. The officers will be found on the appropriate page.
