laid the foundation of whatever knowledge of esoteric Masonry we may ever have attained. All honor to his revered memory.

The next regular communication was also held at Fling's Hall, May 19, 1859, when Worthley and Bailey were admitted members, Cummings initi- ated, and Trask raised. The by-laws were "postponed until next Tues- day, at Colebrook, for examination and correction, and to be adopted at our next regular communication." The record continues: "It being the annual communication proceeded to choose a Master by ballot-Chose Alba Holmes, W. M. Chose Wm. M. Smith, Secretary. Chose Wm. M. Smith, Treasurer."

The Master appointed James A. Pitkin, S. W .; Hazen Bedel, J. W .; Oscar Worthley; S. D .; and Jeremiah Eames, Tyler. The S. W. ap- pointed Sammuel I. Bailey, J. D., and the J. W. appointed Seth Tirrell and David B. Heath. Stewards. William M. Smith was chosen Rep.

There is no record of their installation, and probably none ever took place. As the by-laws had not been adopted, and the record being silent on the question, the problem as to how this came to be the annual communi- cation, is not easily solved. The record says it was, and that is all we know about it. There was a full attendance, and much business was done. The petitions of Erastus W. Ingham, E. Darwin Lombard, Will- iam S. Rolfe, Morton B. Rolfe, and Albert Barker, were read and referred. and the lodge voted: "That the next regular communication be held at Colebrook."

Special communications were held at Colebrook on the 24th and 31st of May, but at what place the record does not say. And the same may be said of all the meetings until May, 1861. It seems that the lodge re- turned home in accordance with the vote, and returned to stay, and has stayed ever since. Though the record is silent, there are members now living who have a lively recollection of the circumstances. The fact is, there was no suitable hall in the village. Half or three-quarters of a mile north of the village stood, and now stands, a two-story building, which was then unoccupied, containing a hall. The building was old, out of repair, and the snow had blown in, in large quantities in certain parts of it, as the writer can testify, for he distinctly remembers the sensation caused by stepping one foot into it, on the way from the anteroom to the hall, he being then in darkness and not seeing it. This hall was secured for one or two meetings, but the property changed hands; the purchaser moved in, peremptorily told the Masons to "git." and they "got," being literally turned out of doors. Fortunately there was an unoccupied build- ing, now occupied by H. F. Jacobs, and the Masons secured it for a time. It was not what they desired, but was all they could obtain, and they made the best of it. And so, driven from place to place, they held all their reg- ular meetings during that year, and did a large amount of work.

HISTORY OF COOS COUNTY.

The first regular meeting held in Colebrook after the restoration, was in the above named hall, June 16, 1859, at which Erastus W. Ingham, E. Darwin Lombard, Albert Barker, William S. Rolfe, and Morton B. Rolfe were initiated. At the regular meeting in July, Albert Barker, E. Darwin Lombard and Morton B. Rolfe were passed. At the regular meeting in August, Albert Barker and Morton B. Rolfe were raised, and William S. Rolfe was "passed." September 15th Albert Barker and Morton B. Rolfe were admitted members; the others were passed, raised, and admitted to membership as they were able to attend. During the Masonic year of 1859, the records show a large amount of work done by the lodge, and several irregularities, of which no notice was ever taken, but which, if done now, would subject the lodge to censure by the Grand Lodge.

At the annual meeting, May 3, 1860, the lodge contained seventeen members, with several more that had taken one or two degrees. Two were admitted to membership and one passed. Alba Holmes was chosen W. M .. and the officers were regularly installed. The present Masonic Hall was then commenced, but it does not appear where the lodge met or that any action was taken in regard to future meetings. The fact was, that no suitable, safe place could be found, and no meeting of the lodge was held during that Masonic year. Several of the brethren frequently got together informally for the purpose of studying the work and lectures, and in this way the interest of the members was not permitted to decline. The next entry in the records is the annual meeting held in Masonic Hall, May 25, 1861. The work was taken up where it was left a year before, and pro- ceeded with. Alba Holmes was elected W. M., Hazen Bedel, S. W., Albert Barker, J. W., Frank M. Rolfe, Sect., and William M. Smith, Treas., and they were installed by D. D. G. M. Paddleford. William M. Smith, James A. Pitkin and Albert Barker were chosen a committee to procure a lease of the hall. The committee promptly attended to the duty; procured a lease for twenty-five years at $20 per year, which was accepted, recorded, and placed on file. The hall was a good one, but destitute of paint or fur- niture of any kind. The lodge was without funds, and had no source of revenue except the fees for degrees and membership. The idea of running in debt was not entertained for a moment. The situation was not an inviting one, but the brethren accepted it with courage and determination. Common chairs were procured for seats, and common light stands for pedestals, and desks for the secretary and treasurer, and the work con- tinued. As soon as any money accrued. it was expended in furnishing the hall, and when anything beyond this was absolutely needed, which was often the case, a few of the brethren put their hands in their pockets and paid for it. The lodge worked along in this way for five or six years, when two of the members, with more persistent obstinacy than Masonic knowledge, carried through the project of placing in the west and

south, instead of pedestals, long desks. These are well enough as desks, but entirely out of place in a Masonic hall. They still remain there. The next year the hall and anterooms were painted, and a little later the floors were elegantly and handsomely carpeted. In this way the lodge got on until a few of the members began to agitate the question of regular dues from each member. This was coldly received at first, but finally, in 1871, was carried by a vote of the lodge, and the by-laws so changed as to estab- lish annual dues of $2 for each member. Since then the hall has been handsomely and elegantly fitted up (with the exception of those desks), and handsomely furnished, comparing favorably with other lodge rooms in the state, and a small fund was accumulated. The lease for the hall expired in 1886, but a new lease for twenty-five years more was secured, though at a much larger rent.

The following vote passed January 8, 1863, explains itself, and perhaps may be news to some of the members :-

"That the thanks of the Lodge be tendered to Thomas Mayo for the letter 'G' which he presented to the lodge."

The following resolutions. on the death of James A. Pitkin, were unan- imously adopted at the regular communication, held August 27, 1863 :-

"Resolved, That in the death of Bro. James A. Pitkin, this Lodge has lost a worthy member, who has been called from his labor here to that spiritual refreshment above, where the Ashlers are all smooth, and the Grand Artificer of the Universe presides.

" Resolved, That we are admonished by this event to diligently ereet our temporal building so as better to fit our minds as living stones for that spiritual building; that house not made with hands, eternal, and in the Heavens.

"Resolred, That we tender to his bereaved widow and fatherless children the tenderest sym- pathy of every member of this Lodge.

"Resolved, That the Secretary furnish to his widow a copy of these resolutions."

To these resolutions the following reply was received and entered of record by a vote of the lodge :-

" COLEBROOK, Nov. 8th, 1863.

" Evening Star Lodge :--

" Thanking the Brotherhood for your kindness in furnishing me with a copy of resolutions passed in your Lodge, you will please accept a small Photograph of Mr. Pitkin. Resp. Yours, "E. M. H. PITKIN."

This photograph may be "laid up with the records in the archives of the lodge," and it may have been lost. Our researches have not resulted in finding it.

The territory over which the lodge holds jurisdiction is large, but the larger part of it is sparsely settled. Many of the members live from five to twenty five miles from the lodge room, and do not regularly attend its meetings. Quite a number have gone to other states, scattered from Flor- ida to California and Canada, and many of these still hold their member-

ship, but are unable to meet with it. Others demit, which, with the deaths, keeps the working force of the lodge small. Under these circum- stances the spirit and stamina of the members is better shown by the attendance on special occasions than at stated communications. At the Masonic funeral of Bro. David B. Heath, at Colebrook. December 20, 1869, thirty-seven were present; of Seth Tirrell, at West Stewartstown, Septem- ber 6, 1872, forty-one; of Charles H Huntoon. at Colebrook, September 1, 1876, thirty-six; and of William Hart, at Hereford, Canada. February 9, 18.9, thirty-eight. These were all the deaths that occurred in the mem- bership during that decade, and the attendance embraced nearly all the members who had not left for other states. Up to this date (July, 1887,) there have been admitted 112. Of these there have died seventeen; demit- ted, twenty-six; suspended for non-payment of dues, six; demits sur- rendered and cancelled, two; number in good and regular standing, sixty- five. Eleven of these have joined within the past twelve months, with several more who have taken one or more degrees, and will be admitted in due time. Few if any lodges have existed for the same length of time with more harmony among the members and with sister lodges than Evening Star. No case of discipline has arisen in the lodge since its insti- tution in 1821, and no regular or stated communication has failed to be holden since the restoration, except as above stated.

The following members have been duly elected, installed. and " passed the chair:" Alba Holmes, William M. Smith, William S. Rolfe, Albert Barker. Joseph E. Lombard, Edward N. Cummings, Hazen Bedel, George S. Leavitt, William H. Shurtleff, Henry M. Leavitt, Sidney B. Whittemore, Marcena B. Gilkey, J. Sullivan Chase, Aaron B. Haines, and Orville C. Bum- ford, the present Master, who lives twenty-five miles away, but has been a constant attendant. The lodge has two Past District Deputies, Hazen Bedel and Albert Barker, who are permanent members of the Grand Lodge and usually attend its sessions. Most of those who have joined for a few years past are enterprising young men, and the lodge bids fair to live long and prosper.

Gorham Lodge, No. 73, A. F. & A. M., Gorham, N. H .*- This lodge was first recognized by a dispensation granted by Grand Master Aaron P. Hughes, February 7, 1862. The first meeting duly holden was on March 11, 1862, Bro. Urban Shorey, W. M. At this meeting eight applications for initiation were received, and the Tuesday on or before the full of the moon of each month was selected as the time for each stated communication. At a special communication on the 19th of March Mr. Moses W. Rand was initiated -this being the first degree conferred; subsequently on March 24th, Messrs. Stephen R. Raynes, Daniel P. Evans and Stephen Gordon,

Jr .. were duly initiated as E. A. Masons. Meetings were held frequently. and a goodly amount of work was done until June following when a char- ter was ordered by the Grand Lodge of the state at its annual communi- cation, and duly issued. The charter bears the date of June 11, 1862, and is signed by Charles H. Bell, as Grand Master. The charter members as named were: Urban Shorey. S. A Mathes, Charles C. Smith, H F. Ward- well, Thomas E. Fisk, William Fuller, W. A. Field. L. Walcott. C. W. Bean. The first meeting held under authority of the charter was on June 20, 1862, when the following officers were elected: Urban Shorey. W. M .; S. A. Mathes, S. W .; C. C. Smith, J. W .; T. E. Fisk, Treasurer; H. F. Wardwell, Secretary: D. P. Evans, S. D .; W. A. Field, J D.

Bro Shorey was re-elected as Master at the annual communication held May 26, 1863, and on June 24th following the officers elected were pub- licly installed. The exercises of installation passed very satisfactorily. and no doubt were in many ways beneficial to the order. Bro. Shorey served as Master till May 9, 1865, when Bro. Thomas E. Fisk was elected W. M. and duly installed June 6th, when a public supper was served at- tended by M. M.'s and their ladies. On May 29. 1866, Bro. Fisk was re- elected W. M., also again elected on May 14, 1867. During this year the question of establishing a Masonic Lodge at Milan was considerably discussed, also the propriety of holding a part of the meetings of this lodge at that place was considered, neither of said propositions were favorably acted upon. Bro. Fisk continued to act as W. M. until May 25. 1869, when George W. Waterhouse was elected Master. A public installation of officers was held at the Methodist church on June 22d following, and an ad- dress delivered by Dr. N. T. True, of Bethel, Me. On May 12. 1570. Bro. Urban Shorey was again elected W. M., and so served until May 2, 1871. when Bro. A. S. Twitchell was selected W. M. On April 23, 1872, Bro. Emlyn W. Evans, was elected Master, and on April 8, 1873, Bro. A. S. Twitchell was re-elected W. M. On April 28, 1874, Bro. Urban Shorey was again elected W. M. and served until April 20, 1875, when Bro. Emlyn W. Evans was elected W. M. On the evening of March 4, 1875, the lodge gave an entertainment and supper at Gorham House hall. The music was furnished by Chandler's band from Portland, and remarks were made by many members of the order. The literary exercises were in charge of Alfred R. Evans, who had but recently received his degrees, and the entire programme was most successfully carried out. The large hall was filled with Master Masons and their ladies, and the occasion is often referred to as one of rare enjoyment. On April 4, 1876, Bro. Emlyn W. Evans was again elected W. M., and so served until April 4, 1877, when Bro. Thomas E. Fisk was called again to the East. April 16, 1878, Bro. Asa A. Palmer was elected W. M. At the next annual communication, on April 1, 1879, Bro. Albert Ryder was elected W. M. On January 10, 1880, the

156

present Masonic Hall was properly dedicated. Rev. Bro. C. C. Mason gave an address on Freemasonry, refreshments were served, the hall was opened for public inspection, and, says the records, "all passed pleasantly and harmoniously." On May 18, 1880, by virtue of a dispensation from the Grand Master, an election of officers for the ensuing year was duly held. and Bro. Emlyn W. Evans was again called to the East, and on March 15, 1881, Bro. Thomas Gifford was elected Master. On the evening of March 21st following .. the officers elect were publicly installed by Bro. Thomas S. Ellis. D. D. G. M., a supper was served, music furnished, toasts responded to and a goodly time enjoyed. March 28, 1882, Bro. Asa A. Palmer was again elected Master, serving until March 20, 1883, when Bro. Walter C. Libby was selected W. M., and again elected for a second term on March 11, 1884. Bro. Nathan Stewart was selected W. M. on March 24, 1885, and is now still filling the position. The present officers of the lodge are: Nathan Stewart, W. M .: Rufus F. Ingalls, S. W .: Fred W. Noves, J. W. ; Alfred R. Evans, Secretary; Charles G. Hamlin, Treasurer; Alva B. Libby, S. D : Fred R. Oleson, J. D .; Charles C. Libby, S. S .; J. C. Fothergill, J. S. ; Albert Ryder, Tyler; Walter Buck, Chaplain.

Since 1879 the membership of this lodge as reported to the Grand Lodge has been as follows :-

During the early history of the lodge the propriety of allowing other societies to use the Masonic Hall was considered, and referred to the Grand Lodge for determination. That grand body reported its disapproval of the occupation of halls by subordinate lodges in common with other societies.

The first lodge room was over what is now Gates & Brown's store. After several changes and removals the order fitted up its present hall on Exchange street. It is said to be one of the handsomest and best Masonic halls in the state outside of the cities, and is well and beautifully furnished, the carpet, furniture, etc., costing over six hundred dollars. The order is in a good, healthy, flourishing condition, and numbers among its members many of the most, reliable and active men of the section. Of the nine charter members of the lodge, five are still members. Many have received their degrees here, who, being demitted, are now active members of lodges in other jurisdictions, while some, although absent, still retain their mem- bership in the mother lodge.

Of its deeds of charity and benevolence it is not fitting for me to speak, suffice it to say that Gorham Lodge has not been wanting in good deeds. and that here along the sides of the high mountains as well as in the low valleys the memory and influence of its acts will long be felt and remen- bered.

White Mountain Lodge, No. 86. A. F. &. A. M., Whitefield .*- This lodge was chartered with the unanimous consent of North Star Lodge, No. 8, June 10, 1868. The charter was granted to the following named brothers: Ira S M. Gove, George H. Pinkham, Lauren J. Miner, Tra A. Muzzy, Charles W. Cole, Caleb Walker. A. W. Miner, W. B. Hutchins, L. V. Seavey, Moses H. Gordon, William F. Dodge. A. K. Lane, G. P. Warner, William K. Quimby. C. K. Gile, Richard Lane, Jr., T. M. Taylor, Charles Libbey, and five others, all except the two Lane brothers were members at that time of North Star Lodge. The first officers elected were: Ira S. M. Gove, W. M .: George H Pinkham, S. W .: Lauren J. Miner, J. W .. Moses H. Gordon, Treasurer: Joel M. Sartwell, Secretary: Hazen W. Fisk, S. D .: Manson Bowles, J. D .: Austin W. Miner, Tyler; Asa K. Lane, S. S .: T. M. Taylor, J. S .: G. P. Warner, Chaplain.

The first year the lodge had hard work to provide themselves a lodge room and pay for fitting up, and with the best management got a small debt on them. The records show the officers present at every meeting till our first annual meeting, which occurred May 20, 1869, when the same officers were again elected. At our annual communication in May, 1870, the following officers were elected: George H. Pinkham, W. M .: L. J. Miner. S. W .; H. W. Fisk, J. W .; Manson Bowles, S. D .; L. V. Seavey, J. D .: Ira S. M. Gove, Secretary.

Bro. Ira S. M. Gove served as Master of the lodge from its organization until May, 1870, and Brother Pinkham from then until May, 1873, when Bro. Gove was again elected Master with Bros. W. F. Dodge and A. W. Miner as W's. Bro. Gove served as Master one year, when Bro. Lauren J. Miner was elected with A. W. Miner and F. C. Fearon as Wardens.

The next year, 1875, Bro. H. W. Fisk was elected Master. F. C. Fearon, S. W., and S. S. Thomas, J. W. Bro. Fisk served one year, and Bro. Pinkham was elected again, with F. C. Fearon, S. W., Thomas M. Fletcher, J. W., and L. D. Whitcher, Secretary. In 1877 Bro. Thomas M. Fletcher was elected Master, S. S. Thomas, S. W., Horace D. Hicks, J. W .. L. D. Whitcher, Secretary, and J. Q. A. Libbey, Treasurer. Bro. Moses H. Gor- don had faithfully looked after the finances of the lodge from its infancy to this time. Brother Fletcher served as Master two years. In 1879 Bro. F. C. Fearon was elected Master, T. C. Gray, S.W., and Ira F. Sturtevant, J. W. In 1880 George E. Hutchins was Master, John T. Twombly, S. W.,

and Richard Rickerby, J. W. In 1881 John T. Twombly, Master, John S. Coffin, S. W., G. G. McGregor, J. W. In 1882 Bro. T. C. Gray was elected Master, Horace D. Hicks, S. W., Asa D. Hill, J. W., and James C. Trickey, Secretary. These officers served two years, and Bro. Gray was elected for the third year, but declined to serve on account of a press of other busi- ness, and Bro. H. D. Hicks was elected in his stead. and also declined, and Bro. Ira S. Sturtevant was elected, and served as Master one year, until 1885, with J. C. Trickey, S. W., J. F. Walsh, J. W., A. W. Miner, Treas- urer. L. D. Whitcher was again elected Secretary, but declined to serve, and L. J. Miner was elected in his stead. In 1885 James C. Trickey was elected Master. George H. Morrison, S. W., H. E. McIver, J. W., A. W. Miner, Treasurer, but declined, and Orin Chase was elected in his stead. In 1886 the same officers were again chosen, and are at the present time fulfilling the duties of their respective offices.

Bro. George W. Libbey was the first man that was made a Mason in this lodge, and D. J. Pillsbury the second one. Bro. Charles P. Carleton had taken his E. A. degree in North Star previous to the chartering of White Mountain Lodge, but North Star Lodge very courteously gave con- sent to White Mountain Lodge to confer the other two, which they have done from time to time ever since, Bro. Carleton being a candidate for any of the degrees in an emergency.

During our existence we have made 110 Masons, as the records show. Death has robbed us of ten brothers, namely: Aurin M. Chase, Caleb Walker, John M. Gove, Lyman V. Seavey, Charles W. Cole, Hibbard Houghton, Benjamin Calden, G. P. Warner, Manson Bowles, G. H. Pink- ham. Charles Stahl. We have demitted six. Our first dues to the Grand Lodge were $13.50, showing a membership of fifty-four; our dues in 1886 were $29.25, showing a membership of 117. Bro. E. W. Parker has been Tyler since 1872, a term of fourteen years of faithful service.

The officers have been very punctual in attendance, and courteous in manner towards the lodge ever since its organization. and many of the brothers have attended regularly, especially Bro. A. W. Miner, who has missed only two meetings, and is what might be called a spare hand, as he works in every place in the lodge when an officer happens to be absent. Bro. M. H. Gordon served as Treasurer nine years, Bro. J. Q. A. Libbey, seven, and Bro. A. W. Miner, one. All declined to serve longer. The lodge is in a prosperous condition now, and has money in the treasury. It has had a good amount of work every year, and has considerable on hand at the present time. Our relations with Burns Lodge and North Star are the most amiable, and the latter we cherish as our foster mother, and we esteem ourselves highly favored when we receive a visit from any of the brothers of either lodge

In conclusion we would quote from Bro. Batchelder, D. D. G. M., Dis.

159

MASONRY IN Coos.

No 5. report, 1883: "Bro. James C. Trickey is a very efficient Master, and is assisted by intelligent and ambitious officers in the chairs. * = The officers are rapidly bringing their work into conformity with the restored work. They realize the amount of labor involved in this under- taking, and its importance. The lodge has a fair surplus fund, and its records are well kept. The lodge is undoubtedly in a better condition to- day than it has been in for several years. What is better still the brethren are determined that the progress shall continue until the lodge has a standing such as may well be attained by faithful attention to the condi- tions of success."

Officers of the Grand Lodge, Grand Chapter and Grand Commandery of New Hampshire, furnished by Coos county .- Through the kindness of George P. Cleaves, Grand Secretary of the above Masonic bodies, we are enabled to give the following list. Bro. Cleaves says that he may have possibly omitted some of the earlier officers in the Grand Lodge, as no residence was entered in the records, and without that he had no guide.
