TN the winter of 1857, a number of the members of Mount Olive Lodge, No. 48, and others in affiliation elsewhere, conceiving that it would be promotive of the interests of Freemasonry in Delphi to have another lodge instituted, as a means of conducing to that ond, application was made for a dispensation empower-

ing them to work as n separate lodge. The petition having been signed by a sufficient number of persons in good standing in the order. and properly recommended, was forwarded to the Grand Master, Sol D. Bayless, who, on the 5th day of January, 1858, granted those brethren a dispensation accordingly, nppointing Bernard F. Schermerhorn. W. M. ; Anthony Garrett. S. W .; George Robertson. J. W., of Advance Lodge, U. D. The fur- ther officers elected. on the 9th of January, were: James P. Dugan, Treasurer: Enoch Rinchart, Secretary: Attalas L. Ben- ham, S. D .: Henry M. Wright, JJ. D .; and David Wingard, Tiler. This lodge was instituted under the most favorable anspices, promising a brilliant future. Upon the meeting of the Grand Lodge in May of that year, the application for a charter. accom- panied by a record of proceedings had and the work done under dispensation, with by-laws, etc., was submitted and referred to the proper committee, which, having carefully examined the mat- ters so referred, presented the following report in the premises: " The Committee on Dispensations report that they have ex- amined the by-laws of Advance Lodge, U. D., and find the same strictly in accordance with the Masonic law; we have had exhib- ited to ns the record of the lodge, together with a register of its by-laws. and also u record for the names of visiting brothers, and your committee do most cheerfully represent that the books are all of superior quality, and the record kept in such a manner as to reflect honor npon herself and credit to the fraternity: that. the name which she has selected is clearly manifest in her works; we would. therefore, offer the following resolution, and recom- mend its adoption:
!
Resolved, That a charter be granted to the brothers, of Delphi, in Carroll County, anthorizing them to organize a Lodge of Masons by the name of Advance Lodge, No. 220: and that Brothers Beruard F. Shermer- horn be appointed W. M., Anthony Garrett. S. W., and George Robertson. J. W., of said Lodge.
This report was presented on the 25th of May, 1858, and fully concurred in by the Grand Lodge, and the resolution accompany- ing it adopted. A charter was granted in accordance with the recommendation of the committee. The first officers chosen under this charter were: Bernard F. Schermerhorn, W. M. ; Anthony Garrett, S. W .: George Robertson, J. W .; Attalas L. Benham, S. D .: Richard L. Higginbotham, J. D .: Enoch Rinehart, Secretary : James P. Dugan, Treasurer: D. W. C. Frisbie and Hiram Allen, Stewards.
At the annual election for officers held on the 10th of June, 1859, the following persons were chosen: B. F. Schermerhorn, W. M .: Anthony Garrett, S. W. : George Robertson, J. W .; Rich- ard L. Higginbotham, S. D .: William Kelly, J. D .; A. L. Ben- ham, Secretary; James P. Dngan, Treasurer; Walter Beach and Henry M. Wright, Stewards: John M. Grant, Tiler. The follow- ing was the membership at the end of that year: Master Masons, Enoch Rinehart, De Witt C. Frisbie, Nathaniel Black, A. L. Ben- ham, Joseph Sampson, James H. Stewart, John B. York, Hugh Shields: died, Hiram Allen.
For 1860. the officers elected were: Bernard F. Schermerhorn, W. M .: Henry M. Wright. S. W .: Walter Beach. J. W .; Jumes P. Dugan, Treasurer; Attalas I .. Benham, Secretary: Richard L. Higginbotham. S. D .; George Robertson, J. D: Nathaniel Black and James H. Stewart, Stewards.
After the commencement of the war, in 1861, there was bnt little activity manifested in keeping up the interest exhibited during the first year of its existence. The attendance became irregular, and there was a failure to make out reports for and
send representatives to the Grand Lodge. The situation re- mained practically unchanged until 1865, when the interest ro- vived, the reports in 1865, 1866 and 1867 showing a decided in- crease in membership, as well as an apparent advance in pros- perity and usefulness. This was especially true during the years 1868 to 1870, after which there was a decrease in membership, or rather there was no increase, and the prospects were not flatter- ing as to subsequent prosperity. The report representing the condition of the lodge during the year 1873 shows a membership of twenty-eight, being a decrease of two compared with the pre- vious year. In 1874, it ceased to be represented in the Grand Lodge. The Grand Master, in his report submitted at the ses- sion of 1875, states that he received a communication from the Worshipful Master and Wardens of this lodge, in which it was shown that no meetings had been held for some time, and that it was proposed to surrender the charter, but wished to be permitted to close up the work, settle claims, etc. The permission was granted, and an agent appointed to receive the charter, books and property, who, at the appointed time, took charge of those effects, everything, in the meantime, having been honorably and satisfactorily adjusted. Tlms Advance Lodge, No. 220, passed off the roll of subordinate lodges in the State of Indiana.
In 1861, the officers were: Bernard F. Schermerhorn, W. M. : Enoch Rinehart, S. W .: D. W. C. Frisbie, J. W .; Richard L. Higginbotham, S. D .; George Robertson, J. D .: James P. Dngan, Treasurer: James H. Stewart. Secretary: Hugh Shields and Oliver Guthrie, Stewards: Jonathan L. Knight. Tiler.
The following is a nearly complete roll of the chief officers of the lodge during its existence, with the date of election:
Worthy Masters 1858, Bernard F. Schermerhorn : 1559. Bernard F. Schermerhorn: 1860, Bernard F. Schermerhorn: 1861, Bernard F. Schermerhorn: 1862, Richard L. Higginboth- am: 1865. Bernard F.

10ON after the affairs of Advance Lodge, No. 220. had been udjusted and its charter surrendered, the propriety of taking steps preliminary to the institution of a new lodge was so strongly expressed that, early in the year 1875. a petition for dispensation to form unother lodge, signed by J. T. Richardson, M. R. Graham, Samuel W. Barnett, H. L. Merritt, P. Waller, Reed Case, Leon Biersdorf, M. Jakes, John Lathrop and W. T. Inglee, was forwarded to the Grand Master. Lucius A. Foote, who, on the 22d day of March. 1875, granted a dispensation for the puropses set forth in the petition, appointing John T. Rich ardson, W. M .: Milton R. Graham, S. W .: and Samuel W. Bar nett, J. W.
At the session of the Grand Lodge in May following, the nec- essary papers and records were presented for examination and referred to the proper committee. On the 25th of May, thut committee having sufficiently examined the mutters submitted, presented the following report, which wus concurred in:

M
"ANY of those who participated in the institution of Mount
Olive Lodge, No. 48. were also Royal Arch Masons, some of them holding membership in Logan Chapter. No. 2. at Lo- gansport, while others affiliated with the La Fayette Chapter, No. 3, or elsewhere. It was not. however, until 1851, that a movement was put on foot to organize a chapter of Royal Arch Masons at Delphi. In the latter part of February or first of March of that year, through the agency of companions of La Fayette Chapter, a petition was prepared and signed asking a dispensation from the Grand High Priestof the State of Indiana. authorizing the petitioners to work in the several degrees of Mark Master, Past Master, Most Excellent Master, and Royal Arch. as a chapter, until the Grand Chapter should meet and inspect their proccedings. The petition having been properly recommended by the neighboring chapters, and regular in all its details, the then Deputy Grand High Priest, Isaac Bartlett, of Logansport, granted them a dispensation bearing date March 7, 1851, ap-
pointing Abner H. Bowen. High Priest. and Daniel F. Vando- venter. King -the principal officers. By virtue of that dispensa- tion. a meeting of the Royal Arch Masons of Delphi, and such visitors as were present. was held at the hall of Mount Olivo Lodge, No. 48. at which there were present Companions Herman Peters und Henry C. Lawrence, of La Fayette Chapter, No. 3; A. H. Bowen. Daniel F. Vandeventer, Hiram Allen. William H. Buford. Moses Colton, Henry Foreman and Rudolph Foreman. A chapter of Royal Arch Masons was opened for the transaction of business, when the dispensation was read by the acting Sec -. rotary, authorizing the companions named in the petition to meet and confer the degrees aforesaid. Subordinate officers, pro tem., having been appointed, the work was proceeded with in conform. ity with the regular usages of the order.
At the session of the Grand Chapter held at Indianapolis, commencing on the 21st of May, 1851. records of the proceedings had under dispensation were presented and referred to the Com- initter on Charters and Dispensations. This committee having ; carefully examined the matters submitted for its consideration, reported as follows:
" The Committee on Charters and Dispensations heg leave to report: They find the work done in this chapter to be regular. The first organization of the chapter is informally recorded. In one instance: they use bad language, as your committee think They say: 'called from labor to dispensation. ' and ' from dispen- sation to labor.' Your committee think the old terms of 'Labor to RefresInnent' cannot be improved upon. The word 'dispen- sation' in that connection carries no intelligent idea to the mind of your committer: in other respects. they find no objections. Therefore,
Rexalred, That a charter be granted the companions af Delphi, under the name of Delphi Chapter. No. 21. and that Companion Abner II. Bowen, be the first High Priest : Companion Daniel F. Van De Venter, the first. King : Companion Hiram Allen, the first Scribe.
A charter was issned accordingly, dated May 24, 1851, and signed by Colley A. Foster. G. H. P .; Isaac Bartlett. D. G. H. P .; Caleb Schmidlapp. G. K .; Richard Sopris, G. S., pro lem ;; and Francis King. Grand Secretary.
