HISTORY
FROM CENTENARY HISTORY OF BETHESDA LODGE, VALPARAISO, SEPTEMBER 1953
From Proceedings, Page 1953-273:
"In August, 1858, Bethesda Lodge was asked to recommend a Charter from the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Massachusetts for a new Lodge in Valparaiso, to be called Republican Lodge. The name was subsequently changed to Southern Cross, and a dispensation was granted as requested. The first meeting of this Lodge was held on the 28th day of December, 1858, and worked until February, 1860, when it finally closed down."
