HISTORY OF BUCKFIELD
CHAPTER XXX. SECRET SOCIETIES.
FREEMASONRY.
Freemasonry existed in Buckfield among its earliest settlers, when there was no lodge nearer than Portland. United Lodge. now at Brunswick, chartered at Topsham in 1801, later became a Masonic home to which those worthy pioneers of this town fre- quently journeyed in company. A few years later a more con- venient place of meeting was found in Oxford Lodge, chartered at Paris Hill in 1807. This lodge was composed of Masons from Buckfield, Paris and Norway, and in its organization the follow- ing residents of Buckfield appear as charter members :
Henry Farwell, prominent as a lawyer, Abijah Buck, the first permanent settler of the town, Oren Record, a large land owner, William Bridgham, Jr., the most eminent physician in this vicinity, and Larned Swallow and Barnabas Perry, both blacksmiths and leading men of affairs.
These men appear to have been prominent in the early history of this lodge, for at its first meeting, held in Hubbard's Hall, Henry Farwell was elected W. M., Larned Swallow, S. D., and Barnabas Perry, Tyler. Farwell was continued master two years.
The subsequent records of the lodge show that the following citizens of Buckfield were made masons at Paris Hill :
Moses Buck in 1815, James Bowker in 1816, Nathaniel Harlow in 1817, and John Bicknell in 1824, and the following early resi- dents appear of record as visiting brethren : Richard Waldron, Thomas Joselyn and Stephen Phelps. Several other old-time residents of the town were known to be masons, among whom were Abraham Waldron, Nathan Atwood, Amos Winslow, Stephen Spaulding, and Rev. George Thomes.
But the lodge associations of these men, at lengthi, were rudely interrupted by the blighting storm of anti-masonry, known as the Morgan excitement, which cast a gloom over the fraternity of the whole country and closed the doors of Oxford Lodge in 1830 for a period of twenty-three years, during which time the brethren could only meet in obscure conference. One of their number, Nathaniel Harlow, was subjected to bitter persecution and church discipline for his offense of being a mason, reference

to which is more fully made in the church history in this volume.
Masonry continued to flourish in Buckfield, in a quiet way. with a few worthy representatives, till the formation of Nezinscot Lodge at Turner in 1860, which afforded a more convenient meet- ing place than had hitherto been enjoyed, and a revival of masonic interest followed in this community.
In 1865 about twenty masons were residing in Buckfield, most of whom had been made in Nezinscot Lodge, and, as their num- bers increased they advanced the proposition for a lodge of their own; but this met with strong opposition from the Turner brethren, and for two years the proposal was a subject of consid- crable controversy and vexation in the lodge. The matter was twice brought before the Grand Lodge and sharply contested, but after a protracted hearing a dispensation was granted in May, 1868, under which the first regular meeting was held June Ist, of that year, with the following officers: Thomas W. Bowman, WV. M., Holman W. Waldron, S. W., and James H. Keyou, J. W. During the period of the dispensation ten master masons were made, the first being Nahum Moore. After this prosperous year the organization received its charter as Evening Star Lodge, No. 147, under date of May 5, 1869, with the following names of charter members :
Thomas W. Bowman George D. Bisbee Josiah W. Whitten
Asa Atwood James H. DeCoster
James H. Keyou
Holman W. Waldron
Benjamin F. Cary
Sullivan C. Andrews
William P. Bridgham
William F. Bard Newell M. Varney Charles B. Atwood Albion J. Buck Nahum Moore Silas Shaw William Chase
Jason Farrar Benjamin Spaulding
William A. Gerrish
Simon L. Johnson William F. Robinson
Henry C. Ricker
Lorenzo Cushman
At a special meeting on the afternoon of July 13, 1869, the first election of officers under the charter was held, and the lodge was duly constituted by Past Master M. T. Ludden of Nezinscot Lodge, agreeably to a commission from Grand Master Lynde. The occasion is recalled as one of great interest and enjoyment.
Before the dispensation had been granted the brethren, in anticipation of a lodge, had leased and finished a hall over the village drug store, then conducted by Mr. A. D. Wilson, and the lodge continued to occupy this room till 1805. when it moved to

more convenient and commodious quarters on the second floor of the brick building, known as the Allen & Thomes store, where a new hall had been finished and newly furnished.
