This is the name of a new Lodge located at Cambridge, near the Colleges. It was Chartered by the Grand Lodge on the 9th of December — having worked a year under Dispensation — and was Constituted and publicly Dedicated on the 18th. It occupies a new and commodious hall, with convenient and spacious ante-rooms, all of which are neatly fitted up and furnished. Indeed, there are but few halls in the State, which, as a whole, are more complete and appropriate.

EVENTS

CONSECRATION OF LODGE, DECEMBER 1863

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. XXIII, No. 6, April, 1864, p. 178:

This is the name of a new Lodge located at Cambridge, near the Colleges. It was Chartered by the Grand Lodge on the 9th of December — having worked a year under Dispensation — and was Constituted and publicly Dedicated on the 18th. It occupies a new and commodious hall, with convenient and spacious ante-rooms, all of which are neatly fitted up and furnished. Indeed, there are but few halls in the State, which, as a whole, are more complete and appropriate.

The Consecration services took place in the afternoon, and the Dedication of the Hall and the Installation of the officers in the evening, the latter in the presence of ladies and other invited guests. At the conclusion of these services the R. W. Bro. Paige, in behalf of Amicable Lodge, at Cambridgeport, of which the new Lodge is an off-shoot, rose, and after briefly and appropriately referring to the past history of the parent Lodge, and some of the interesting memories connected with its progress, presented to the new Body a very beautiful set of Jewels, Collars and Aprons for its officers. They were gracefully received by the Master of the new Lodge, and the officers were invested with them. The M. W. Grand Master then delivered the customary charge, and the ceremonies closed.

The occasion was one of more than usual interest, and we believe all parties were pleased with the result. The officers of the Grand Lodge and of the new Lodge were kindly received and hospitably entertained at tea by Brother Sawin, a member of the Lodge, to whom, and his lady, the party are under obligation.

The officers installed are as follows :—

  • Henry W. Muzzey, W. M.
  • Francis H. Brown, S. W.
  • Joseph R. Richards, J, W.
  • William Wright, Treas.
  • Charles Harris, Sec.
  • Nathaniel G. Allen, Chaplain
  • Gustavus F. Sargent, Marshal
  • Isaac Bradford, S. D.
  • Edward D. Harris, J. D.
  • Frederick T. Stevens, S. S.
  • Obadiah D. Witherell, J. S.
  • Benjamin H. Richardson, Inside Sentinel
  • John L. Jones, Tyler.
