Part 1 | Part 2


It would perhaps be too tiresome to follow the min- utes through all of their references to this subject of building a Hall, but the matter is referred to in the min- utes of April 6, 1829, May 4, 1829, July 13, 1829, July 18, 1829, November 2, 1829, June 7, 1830, September 13, 1830, February 6, 1832, and June 3, 1833, all of which disclose that numerous embarrassments arose in the matter of securing the money for the enterprise, and in collecting the money that was subscribed; also that judgement was taken against the contractors for labor performed on the building, and the Lodge endeavored to help them out as


15


best they could, even to the pledging of the dues of mem- bers in advance. Whether the building was ever com- pleted is uncertain. As late as February 7, 1831, we have a report of a committee appointed to count and examine the brick work and plastering of the Masonic Hall, which reported that they had examined the Hall and counted the brick by measurement, but, quoting from the report, "from the situation the Hall is in from the snow and the plastering covering a part of the briek, it is impos- sible for your committee to ascertain the precise number and find the plastering unfinished." The original of this report is still on file. In the minutes of February 6, 1832, which approached so closely the time when the Lodge was compelled to discontinue by reason of adverse pub- lie sentiment, we find this reference in the minutes :


"On motion, it was resolved that Bros. H. Hanna, L. G. Thompson and Absolom Holcomb be appointed a com- mittee to ascertain what price can be had for the Hall and so soon as a price will be offered to justify the sale of the Hall, to summons the Lodge and report their views of the probable value of the Hall and the amount then offered."


So far as is known, the Lodge held only four meet- ings after that before meetings were abandoned, the last being on June 3, 1833, when we find the following entry in the minutes:


"Bro. H. Rudisil, W. M., also reported that pursuant to an order of the Lodge of the 20th of February last, he had, after giving public notice by advertisement of the time, place and terms of sale, exposed the Masonic Hall and the lot on which it stands in the town of Fort Wayne to sale by public outery, and that Joseph Holman, Rich- ard L. Britton, Francis Comparet, Alexis Coquillard and Hugh Hanna were the highest bidders and became the purchasers of the premises aforesaid, at the sum of $1,328.00 Which report on motion of Bro. Hamilton, was concurred in and confirmed by the Lodge."


It is reasonable to suppose that this Masonie Hall was completed, and occupied by the Lodge for a greater


16


or less period, and while the minutes do not disclose its location, it has been said that the building was located on a lot at the northeast corner of Columbia and Har- rison streets, where the Bash block now stands, but per- haps the most authentic record of its location is that which we gather from the deed records of Allen County. Deed Record A, at page 211, of the deed records of Allen County, shows a deed dated February 23, 1829, by which John McCorkle and John T. Barr, in consideration of the sum of $31.00, convey to "Wayne Lodge Number 25," a certain lot 60 by 150 feet, and which is shown to have been immediately west of lot number 48 in the original plat of the town of Fort Wayne, and on the west side of an alley, which separated the lot of Wayne Lodge from said lot number 48. This lot was on the north side of Columbia street immediately adjoining on the west an alley running north and south through said square about the center of the block between Calhoun and Harrison streets. This alley has long since been vacated, but the above description probably more accurately locates the original Masonic Hall of Fort Wayne than any other authority. We also find from Deed Record G, at page 68, of the deed records of Allen county, Indiana, that on November 25, 1843, in pursuance of a resolution passed by Wayne Lodge No. 25 at its meeting of November 18, 1843, that the Master and Wardens of Wayne Lodge, No. 25 deeded the property described in the first deed above referred to, to one "Drusus Nichols of the County of La- Grange and State of Indiana," in consideration of the sum of $1,333.00, and this deed bears the signatures of "Jacob Hull, W. Master, Wm. W. Stevens, S. Warden, Smalwood Noel, J. Warden" and the deed was acknow- ledged by these officers before Henry Lotz, Mayor of the City of Fort Wayne.


In any event, judging from the fact of its incomplete condition, shown in the report of the meeting in Novem- ber, 1831, and the sale of the lot in 1833, as reported above, and the information disclosed by the records as to the few meetings held during that period, the brothers


17


were not rewarded in the pleasure of freely meeting in their own building to the extent they deserved for the sincere and earnest effort made by them to acquire a Lodge home.


From a history, prepared by Bro. Robt. S. Robertson, in 1897, we learn that Wayne Lodge first had temporary quarters in the old fort, and afterward moved to what was known as "Washington Hall" on the southwest cor- ner of Barr and Columbia streets, then to the Masonic Hall above referred to. The meeting of March 2, 1840, at which an effort was made to re-organize, it is under- stood was held at Kiser's Hall, which some of the broth- ers will even now remember was on the corner of the al- ley on the east side of Calhoun street, between Main and Columbia. It is understood that when a re-organization was perfected, and regular meetings were again held, commencing in 1856, that the meetings were held in this same hall until the Lodge moved to the MacDougal Block at the corner of Berry and Calhoun streets and after- wards to the Seidel Block, and in 1886 into the present Masonic Temple.


While Wayne Lodge, as an organization, has not been continuous since March 22, 1823 to the present time, and while its charter has once or twice been forfeited, it has never lost its identity in name and number, and no other Blue Lodge in Indiana has ever born the title or number of "Wayne Lodge No. 25." Other Lodges of a smaller number were organized, but I am credibly in- formed that Wayne Lodge today is the third oldest Lodge in Indiana. In other words only two Blue Lodges exist today which were organized earlier than March 22, 1823. Other Lodges today bear numbers smaller than 25 by rea- son of the fact that the Lodges to which these numbers were first assigned, disorganized, and the numbers were given to Lodges organizing later. We have an instance in Fort Wayne of such an occurrence, in the fact that Home Lodge, instituted July 17, 1868, bears a smaller number-342-than Sol. D. Bayless Lodge 359, which was instituted on June 4, 1866, more than two years before.


18


The only other Blue Lodge in Fort Wayne, Summit City Lodge No. 170, is the second oldest Blue Lodge, and was instituted June 9, 1854.


In its list of W. M.'s, Wayne Lodge presents an ar- ray of citizens whose high character, both as citizens and Masons, are in keeping with the splendid history of the Lodge. From the institution of the Lodge to 1911, in- cluding our present W. M., this list is as follows:

As I am informed, we now have no member whose membership existed prior to 1860. Without any ques- tion, the most eminent of these splendid Masons, meas- ured by devotion to the Order, was Sol D. Bayless, W. M. of this Lodge for five years, from 1861 to 1864 and again in 1873, and in whose honor our local Blue Lodge, No. 359, was named. He also instituted, under dispensation, Summit City Lodge, which held its first stated meeting on June 16, 1854. As an evidence of the esteem in which Summit City Lodge, No. 170, held Bro. Bayless, on No- vember 2, 1866, it unanimously adopted resolutions as follows :


"That this Lodge by unanimous consent declares Bro. Sol D. Bayless an Honorary Member of Summit City Lodge and entitled to all the privileges as such.


"That this Lodge feels deeply grateful to Bro. Sol D. Bayless for the many noble sacrifices he has made in the cause of Masonry, and we sincerely trust that he will meet with a full reward in the Grand Lodge above where the Supreme Architect of the Universe presides.


20


"That each individual member of this Lodge owes a deep debt of gratitude to Bro. Bayless for his labors and teachings with us in the past when we were in our infancy and struggling for existence, and


"That we will ever hold him in grateful remem- brance."


This eminent brother was laid to rest with Masonic ceremonies under the auspices of Wayne Lodge No. 25, and all of the other Masonic bodies in Fort Wayne, on June 1, 1875, at which time, our honored Secretary, Bro. Daniel L. Harding, was W. M. Among the Masonic titles held by Bro. Bayless at the time of his death, were those of P. G. M., P. G. H. P., P. M. P. G. M. and P. R. E. G. C. of the State of Indiana.


Of this history we may all be, and are, justly proud, and indulge the fervent hope that our future may be equally brilliant.


21


At the close of the foregoing ad- dress, Brother Edward O'Rourke, P. G. M., moved that the address deliv- ered by Brother Albert E. Thomas be published in the local papers, and that copies of it be printed in pamphlet form for distribution among the membership; which mo- tion was seconded by Bro. Perry A. Randall, and carried by a rising vote. In pursuance of this action, the mat- ter was brought to the attention of the Lodge at its stated meeting held on the 6th day of April, 1911, and a committee appointed to secure the printing of these pamphlets; which motion and action of the Lodge is the authority upon which this his- tory is published.
