CHAPTER X. FRATERNAL ORDERS.
MORNING STAR LODGE, NO. 47, F. & A. M., the oldest fraternal organization in town, was instituted in Oxford Oct. 18, 1804, and under the direction of the worthy brethren named in the charter and their successors in office, the lodge prospered and steadily increased in numbers. In 1832 fifty members of Morning Star Lodge mani- fested their courage and their love of the Masonic order by signing the famous "Declaration" of Masonic principles and purposes, which was widely published, and helped greatly to allay the preju- and opposition of the anti-Masonic tide then at its height.
In the forties the manufacturing industry which had made Ox- ford center a busy place for many years, began to wane and many of the members of the lodge removed from the place, so that in 1848 the charter was revoked by the Grand Lodge, but on the 14th of May, 1851, the charter was restored, the lodge to be removed to Seymour. For a short time the lodge met in the hall over the store at the west end of the lower bridge, but. in 1853 it was removed to the hall in Davis' Block, where it remained for fiftyeight years, the
