The late Anniversary of St. John the Baptist was more generally celebrated liv the Fraternity, in various sections of the country, than for many years past. In this respect, our Brethren in Newburyport are everywhere conceded to have excelled their competitors. With them and their fellow-citizens of all classes it was a holiday. The town was beautifully and elaborately decorated with flags, banners, and bunting of every conceivable description, and the whole people seemed to have entered into a competition to determine who should make the most attractive and beautiful display. The procession, which was both large and brilliant, marched through the principal streets of the city, and was everywhere received with acclamations. One of the most interesting features in it was the large number of aged Brethren who honored the occasion with their presence.

Among them was Gen. [http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~silversmiths/makers/silversmiths/231788.htm Josiah Whittaker] of Providence, 'i ho, although upwards of eighty years of age, and silvered o'er with time's relentless hand, is, to-day, as straight and more sprightly than many a younger man; in fact, he almost seems, if one  ould forget his white locks, to be but in his prime. Gen. Whittaker was initiated into the secrets of Masonry in 1812, and in 1814 was knighted. At the laying of the corner-stone of Bunker Hill Monument, in 1825, he commanded the Sir Knights who did  the honors in that occasion, and now, although forty-four years have elapsed since that memorable event, he is still hale  and hearty, and has the promise of future years of usefulness. In a carriage in the procession were Sir Knights John Ackerman of Newburyport, 73 years of age, and who had been a Mason for fifty years, and had passed through all the grades; Abner Kenniston of Newburyport, eighty-five years old, and for fifty years connected with Freemasonry. At the conclusion of the public parade the company repaired to a large tent, erected for the purpose, for dinner, where they spent an hour of pleasant enjoyment, after which the procession was again formed and proceeded to the Pleasant Street Church, where an eloquent and able oration was delivered by the M. E. Sir  Knight, B. B. French,  of Washington City, which we hope, hereafter, to lay before our readers.

EVENTS

ST. JOHN'S DAY, JUNE 1869

From Moore's Freemason's Monthly, Vol. XXVIII, No. 9, July 1869, Page 284:

The late Anniversary of St. John the Baptist was more generally celebrated liv the Fraternity, in various sections of the country, than for many years past. In this respect, our Brethren in Newburyport are everywhere conceded to have excelled their competitors. With them and their fellow-citizens of all classes it was a holiday. The town was beautifully and elaborately decorated with flags, banners, and bunting of every conceivable description, and the whole people seemed to have entered into a competition to determine who should make the most attractive and beautiful display. The procession, which was both large and brilliant, marched through the principal streets of the city, and was everywhere received with acclamations. One of the most interesting features in it was the large number of aged Brethren who honored the occasion with their presence.

Among them was Gen. Josiah Whittaker of Providence, 'i ho, although upwards of eighty years of age, and silvered o'er with time's relentless hand, is, to-day, as straight and more sprightly than many a younger man; in fact, he almost seems, if one ould forget his white locks, to be but in his prime. Gen. Whittaker was initiated into the secrets of Masonry in 1812, and in 1814 was knighted. At the laying of the corner-stone of Bunker Hill Monument, in 1825, he commanded the Sir Knights who did the honors in that occasion, and now, although forty-four years have elapsed since that memorable event, he is still hale and hearty, and has the promise of future years of usefulness. In a carriage in the procession were Sir Knights John Ackerman of Newburyport, 73 years of age, and who had been a Mason for fifty years, and had passed through all the grades; Abner Kenniston of Newburyport, eighty-five years old, and for fifty years connected with Freemasonry. At the conclusion of the public parade the company repaired to a large tent, erected for the purpose, for dinner, where they spent an hour of pleasant enjoyment, after which the procession was again formed and proceeded to the Pleasant Street Church, where an eloquent and able oration was delivered by the M.

In the evening, the festivities of the day were appropriately closed by a promenade concert and ball, in a spacious tent appropriately fitted up and decorated for the purpose.
