He represented the town at several sessions of the General Assembly and held other important offices of trust, being at one time the most influential politician in town. In 1847 he removed to New Haven, where he was a constable for several years and then city sheriff. He was one of the oldest Freemasons in the State, and a member of Franklin Chapter and Harmony Council. He was a man of genial disposi- tion, faithful and upright.

MORNING STAR LODGE, No. 47, F. & A. M.
The time-honored order of Free Masonry is repre- sented in this town by a lodge which has reached the venerable age of seventy-four years. Morning Star Lodge was constituted under a charter from the M. W. Stephen Titus Hosmer, Esq., Grand Master of the Ancient and Honorable Society of Free and Accepted Masons for the State of Connecticut, bearing date, or rather granted the 18th day of October, A. D. 1804. The petitioners to whom the charter was granted were Adam Lum, Veren Dike, Silas Sperry, Geo. W. Thomas, Benjamin Candee, Lewis Wakelee, E. C. Candee, Joel Finch, Ar- nold Loveland, William Hurd, Wm. Bronson, Daniel Candee, Abel Wheeler, Samuel Riggs, William Morris, Levi Candee, Nathan Davis, Charles Monson, Jessie Scott and Moses Candee, "Brethren of the Honora- ble Society of Masons residing in the town of Oxford."
Abel Wheeler is named in the charter as first Master, Levi Candee as Senior Warden and William Morris as Junior Warden.
In 1832. so much had the principles of the order been misrepresented that the following declaration was prepared by the Grand Lodge, signed by members of the order generally throughout the State, and published, not only in the Masonic proceedings, but in the newspapers of the day, and helped to a great extent to allay the prejudices against the order. Appended is the declaration and the names of signers who lived in this vicinity.
PREAMBLE.
WHEREAS, charges have been made against the Institution of Freemasonry, accusing the whole Fraternity with having adopted and cherished principles dangerous to the community and re- pugnant to morality and religion; and from the silence of the members of our Institution concerning these accusations, many persons have supposed or may suppose that we admit the truth of these charges, or that we cannot conscientiously deny them:
We, the officers and members of the Grand Lodge of the State of Connecticut, and of the subordinate Lodges under its jurisdiction, have come to the conclusion that justice to ourselves and a decent regard for the opinions of our fellow-citizens, demand from us a public avowal of the prin- ciples of the Order, and of the nature and tendency of the Institution. A declaration on this subject, dated December 31st, 1831, having been made and published by our brethren of the Masonle Frater- nity in the State of Massachusetts, to which we fully asseut, as it is strictly true in all respects. wc have adopted the same, and now beg leave to present it to the public.
THE DECLARATION.
WHEREAS, it has been frequently asserted and published to the world, that in the several de- grees of FREEMASONRY, as they are conferred in the United States, the candidate, on his initia- tion and subsequent advancement, binds himself by oath, to sustain his Masonic brethren in acts which are at variance with the fundamental principles of morality, and incompatible with his duty as a good and faithful citizen. In justice, therefore, to themselves, and with a view to establish TRUTH and expose IMPOSITION, the undersigned, members of the Masonic Fraternity, and many of us the recipients of every degree of Freemasonry known and acknowledged in this country, do MOST SOL- EMNLY DENY the existence of any such obligation in the MASONIC INSTITUTION. as far as our
132
SEYMOUR AND VICINITY.
knowledge respectively extends. And we do also solemnly aver, that no person is admitted to the Institution, without first being made acquainted with the nature of the obligations which he will be required to ineur and assume.
Freemasonry secures its members in the freedom of thought and of speech, and permits each and every one to act according to the dictates of his own conscience in matters of religion, and of his personal preferences in matters of politics. It neither knows, nor does it assume to inflict upon its erring members, however wide may be their aberations from duty, any penalties or punishments other than Admonition, Suspension and Expulsion.
The obligations of the Institution require of its members a strict obedience to the laws of God and man. So far from being bound by any engagements inconsistent with the happiness and pros- perity of the nation, every citizen, who becomes a Mason, is doubly bound to be true to his God, his country, and his fellow-men. In the language of the "Ancient Constitutions" of the Order, which are printed and open for public inspection, and which are used as text-books in all our Lodges, he is "required to keep and obey the moral law, to be a quiet and peaceable citizen, true to his govern- ment and just to his country."
Masonry disdains the making of proselytes. She opens the portals of her asylum to those only who seek admission, with the recommendation of a character unspotted by immorality and vice. She simply requires of the candidate his assent to one great fundamental religious truth,-THE EXISTENCE AND PROVIDENCE OF GOD, and a practical acknowledgement of those infallible doctrines for the government of life, which are written by the finger of God on the heart of man.
Entertaining such sentiments, as Masons, as Citizens, as Christians, and as moral men, and deeply impressed with the conviction that the Masonie Institution has been, and may continue to be, productive of great good to their fellow-men; and having "received the laws of the Society, and its accumulated funds, in sacred trust for charitable purposes," the undersigned can neither renounce nor abandon it.
We most cordially nnite with our brethren of Massachusetts, 'in the declaration and hope, that, "should the people of this country become so infatuated as to deprive Masons of their civil ' rights, in violation of the written constitutions and the wholsome spirit of just laws and free govern- ment, a vast majority of the Fraternity will still remain firm, confiding in God and the rectitude of their intentions for consolation under the trials to which they may be exposed."
