secured in the Patriot Building, which was used until a more desirable- hall in the new Cook Building became the home in the fall of 1867. This was thoroughly refitted in 1888, and is now a very fine hall, which is also used by the other Masonic bodies of the city.


In November, 1861, the Lodge appointed a committee to procure the bodies of the brethren, John S. Slocum, Sullivan Ballou and Sam- uel James Smith, who had been killed at the battle of Bull Run, in order that they might be interred at their homes, with the rites of the order. In this epoch of time Doctor Ariel Ballou was the grand mas- ter of the Grand Lodge of the state, serving from May, 1861, until May, 1865. After the war the Lodge greatly prospered in numbers and finances until 1877, when a period of stagnation began, which continued several years. In more recent times the Lodge has again flourished, having in 1889 several hundred members. At this time the principal officers were: W. M., Alexander Gilbert; S. W., Byron I. Cook; J. W., George C. Knight; treasurer, Charles E. Ballou; secretary, John North; S. D., Ralph W. Cook; J. D., George W. Hazelhurst, Jr. Among other members who rose to distinction in the order was Hosea Ballou. He became a Mason February 15th, 1818, and was made a master Mason March 16th, 1818. He died May 29th, 1883, aged 90. years, being the oldest master Mason in that part of the country, if not in the Union.


Union Royal Arch Chapter, No. 5, received its charter March 9th, 1859, organizing with 14 members and principal officers: H. P., Sam- uel Greene; K., Thomas A. Paine; S., Ariel Ballou; treasurer, Spencer Mowry; secretary, Pardon Sayles. The Chapter has been very pros- perous, and in 1889 had nearly 200 members, whose principal officers were the following: H. P., Caleb L. Knight; K., Seth S. Getchell; S., George W. Hazelhurst, Jr .; secretary, William C. Mason; treasurer, Jonathan B. Farnum; chaplain, L. C. Tourtellot.


Woonsocket Council, R. & S. M., No. 4, was constituted March 8th, 1869, Francillo G. Jillson being the first illustrious master. Soon there was an encouraging membership, reaching at one time 80. In 1889 the number reported was less, but the affairs of the council were in good condition. The officers were: Moses P. Roberts, T. I. M .; Luke A. Wood, D. M .; Nelson H. Mowry, P. C. of W .; Israel B. Phillips, treasurer; Ira W. Arnold, recorder; George J. Baldwin, chaplain.


Woonsocket Commandery, K. T., No. 23, was granted a dispensa- tion under date of January 31st, 1867, and under authority of the same the first meeting was held February 8th, 1867. But it was not until September 19th, 1867, that the commandery was fully organized under its charter. Since that time regular conclaves have been held and a large membership has been enrolled. Among its officers in 1889 were these: Seth S. Getchell, E. C .; George W. Miller, G .; George W. Hazelhurst, Jr., C. G .; George J. Baldwin, P .; Nelson H. Mowry, S. W .;

George C. Knight, J. W .; E. Charles Francis, treasurer; Samuel P. Cook, recorder.


St. Paul's Conclave, No. 4, Knights of the Red Cross of Rome and Constantine, was instituted December 5th, 1873, with 13 charter mem- bers, under authority granted by the Grand Imperial Council of Illi- nois. Later it passed under the authority of the Imperial Council of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The chief officers in 1889 were: A. 'A. Pevey, sovereign; Ira W. Arnold, viceroy; L. C. Tourtellot, S. G .; R. Olney Cooke, treasurer. L. C. Tourtellot was also the Division In- tendent General of Rhode Island.


In connection with the Masonic interests of the city a brief account of the Masonic Mutual Relief Association of Northern Rhode Island may appropriately be given. It was organized February 4th, 1874, and the home office established at Woonsocket, from which place the business of the association has since been transacted. The field of opera- tion being limited, the membership of the association has never been large, but its affairs have been satisfactorily administered to those who have become connected with it. The officers in 1889 were: president, Willard Kent; secretary, George A. Whipple; treasurer, Charles E. Ballou; directors, William E. Hubbard, Moses P. Roberts, E. L. Sim- mons, John Leech, A. C. Smith, James E. Cook, John Hackett.


Woonsocket Lodge, No. 10, I O.O. F., is an old and honored Lodge in the important order of Odd Fellows. Its meetings exclusively at Woon- socket have been longer held than those of any other Lodge, and con- tinue to be occasions of unabated interest. The Lodge was chartered August 1st, 1845, with nine members. Prior to the occupancy of the present fine hall, in the Patriot Block (which was dedicated June 22d, 1876), the meetings were held in the Fletcher Building. Its present home is beautifully furnished, the property of this nature being valued at $2,000. Exclusive of this the Lodge owns property to the amount of $8,000, and the whole is controlled by trustees Latimer W. Ballou, George W. Miller, Sr., and John North. The Lodge has also a large membership, the number in 1889 being 260, whose principal officers were: Frank P. Lee, P. G .; Howard A. Pratt, N. G .; George W. Miller, Jr., V. G .; George Bruton, secretary; Stephen Magown, financial secretary; E. W. Wheelock, chaplain.


Eureka Lodge, No. 28, I. O. O. F., is an offshoot of No. 10, and was chartered October 29th, 1872, with ten members. It soon called within its ranks a large membership, and in 1880 moved into its own hall in the Greene Block. This was fitted up at an expense of $1,400, and was a very pleasant place of meeting several years. Since the spring of 1888 the meetings have been held in the hall of No. 10. In 1889 Eureka reported 150 members, property worth $3,500, and these officers: Charles E. Clark, N. G .; H. A. Bowen, V. G .; M. Jacobson, F. S .: F. P. Fenton, R. S .; James E. Cook, treasurer.


Closely connected with the foregoing two Lodges, and partaking

of their general prosperity, is Minerva Lodge, No. 4, D. of R., which was organized with 17 members. This number had been increased to 150 in the summer of 1889, and in other respects the Lodge was very flourishing. At this time it had as its principal officers: Mrs. Herbert F. Walker, N. G .; Mrs. John Campbell, V. G .; Mrs. Harriet C. Rice, R. S .; Mrs. Anna M. Savage, F. S .; Mrs. Arlon Jillson, treasurer.


Palestine Encampment, No. 3, I. O. O. F., was instituted under a charter granted October 1st, 1845, and the first meetings were held at Newport. October 10th, 1848, the Encampment was removed to Woonsocket, where it was afterward reorganized under a new charter, granted February 2d, 1857. In the main it has had a flourishing ex- istence, reporting, in 1889, 150 members, an invested fund of $1,600, and these officers: John M. Park, C. P .; E. W. Wheelock, H. P .; Charles E. Clark, S. W .; Howard A. Pratt, J. W .; Samuel W. Smith, S .; John D. Griffith, P. S .; William H. Goodale, T.


Canton Woonsocket, No. 9, P. M., was organized in December, 1886, with 32 members. Two deaths of members have since occurred, and a like number of new members have been admitted. The Can- ton has been partially uniformed, and has participated in several creditable public parades, under the command of these officers: George W. Miller, senior commander; Charles E. Clark, lieutenant; Howard A. Pratt, ensign. It promises to become an important feature of Odd Fellowship at Woonsocket.


Myrtle Lodge, No. 1, Knights of Pythias, was instituted at Woon- socket April 28th, 1870, with nine charter members, and its first offi- cers were: Alfred Allen, P. C .; William C. Boyden, C. C .; H. M. Pierce, V. C .; N. P. Nutter, K. of R. S .; D. N. Paine, M. of E .; Charles S. Sanders, M. of F .; B. M. Usher, I. G .; John F. Driscoll, O. G .; Wil- liam H. Whitman, M. of A. The Lodge has enjoyed a fair degree of prosperity, and meets in a neatly furnished hall on Market square. It has had about 100 members.


Woonsocket has an unusual number of beneficiary orders, some of which have already been noted in connection with the churches, which give them encouraging support. Others have become well es- tablished on their own merits, while a few are yet in the formative condition.


Washington Lodge, No. 1269, Knights of Honor, was instituted November 29th, 1878, with 14 charter members, and F. G. Jillson, dic- tator. Since that time it has prospered, having in 1889 53 members. Up to June, 1889, there had been four deaths in the Lodge, each at- tended by a $2,000 benefit. In July, 1889, the officers were: Arlon Jill- son, D .; William H. Stafford, V. D .; E. W. Wheelock, G .; L. L. Chilson, R .: R. G. Reed, F. R .; N. D. Woodworth, treasurer; George H. Grant, chaplain: George W. Jenckes, John Leech, and William H. Goodale, trustees.

S .; Richard Padden, treasurer; John Wren, S. W .; Frank Morin, J. W. At the same time the officers of Conclave No. 58 were: E. Frank Pierce, C .; Elzéard Gingras, V. C .; Charles E. Donahoe, adjutant. Both the above are fairly prosperous.


Edward Harris Lodge, No. 200, Sons of St. George, was instituted February 23d, 1886, and has since been successfully maintained. Among the officers have been: James Bennett, W. P .; James Randall, W. V. P .; John Hatfield, W. M .; Lewis J. Broughton, W. S .; Jonathan Battey, W. T .; J. B. Greenhalgh, trustee. Semi-monthly meetings are held in a pleasant hall on Main street.

Wood- worth; secretary, Dwight C. Lord; collector, Frank A. Cooke; treas- urer, James E. Cook; chaplain, Charles H. Darling. It includes among its members some of the leading business men of the city, and is well supported.


United Order of the Golden Cross, No. 311, was instituted March 24th, 1887, with 90 charter members. Of these John A. C. Wightman was N. C .; F. E. Holden, K. of R., and C. F. Hixon, treasurer. In July, 1889, G. F. Higgins was the presiding officer of the 98 members. It is to be noted in connection with the death of the two members of the order, at Woonsocket, that the payment of benefits to their fami- lies was made within three weeks after the death of the assured. The meetings are held in St. George's Hall, and both sexes are admitted to membership.


Woone-Sou-Kete Tribe, No. 8, I. O. of R. M., was instituted May 6th, 1887, and has since had a prosperous existence, its meetings being held weekly in the Knights of Pythias Hall. The officers in the sum- mer of 1889 were: Prophet, Adelbert I. Thompson; sachem, Henry S. Sanborn; senior sagamore, James M. Scholefield; junior sagamore, William R. Buffington; chief of records, John S. Simmons; keeper of wampum, Joseph F. Miller.


Ballou Assembly, No. 85, R. S. of G. F., was instituted in May, 1887, and E. W. Wheelock was the first ruler. The organization was effected with 156 charter members, which number has been main- tained, with Adelbert Roberts as the ruler in July, 1889. H. S. Hough- ton was the secretary, and James E. Cook the treasurer. One member has died since the institution of the assembly, Alexander Tonge, in the spring of 1889.


Branch No. 783, Order of Iron Hall, was instituted in June, 1888, and a year later had 39 members, to whom benefits ranging from $200 to $1,000 had been assured. In this period two members of the branch deceased. Among the last officers were: Chief justice, E. A. Thayer ;.

vice-justice, Edwin Salley; accountant, F. P. Fenton; adjuster, J. C. Heath; cashier, H. C. Lazelle; trustees, E. N. Kingsbury, F. D. Cross- man, C. J. Daniels.


Ames Lodge, No. 8, A. O. U. W .- In 1873 a Lodge of this order, with the name of Burnside Lodge, No. 2, was organized at Woon- socket, but in the course of two years interest in it had so much declined that it was deemed best to surrender the charter. This was done and the remaining members were transferred to the Blackstone Lodge, No. 46, in which they had membership many years, Mean- time interest in the order was again awakened and on August 1st, 1888, the present Lodge was instituted, with 59 charter members, of whom 27 had a former Lodge connection. In July, 1889, there were 86 members, whose interesting meetings in St. George's Hall gave this body a place among the most successful Lodges in the state, and as no death has occurred a considerable fund has accrued. The prin- cipal officers were: P. M. W., George F. Higgins (also Grand Lodge deputy); N. N., William H. Goodale; F., Matthew Marty; O., Ezra P. Sugden; F. S., James S. Blake; R., George Bruton.


The New England Order of Protection was instituted July 24th, 1888, with 40 members, and the officers named below : Doctor R. G. Reed, junior P. W .; T. C. Page, W .; H. S. Houghton, V. W .; D. C. Lord, secretary; S. P. Cook, treasurer; J. J. Hulbert, chaplain; H. M. Dudley, G. W. Lathrop, and N. D. Woodworth, trustees.


Border Grange, No. 3, P. of H., was organized at the Union school house, at East Woonsocket, April 26th, 1887, with 54 charter members. Its name was selected on account of the fact that the Grange is near the Massachusetts line and many of the members are from that state. The first officers were: Master, Henry W. Pickering; overseer, W. H. Jillson; lecturer, Albert A. Smith: secretary, Etta Rhodes; treasurer, Henry M. Darling. These officers, with the exception of a new over- seer, Edwin F. Pickering, and a new secretary, Ednor P. Crooks, also served in 1889. The increase of membership and the interest in the affairs of the Grange were so encouraging that a hall for its use was built on a commanding site near the crossing of the Diamond Hill and Mendon road, the lot for this purpose being donated by Edwin B. Miller. The edifice was planned by P. D. West, and is exceedingly attractive. The material is wood, the dimensions being 30 by 55 feet. There is a basement, eight feet high, fitted up for entertainments, and the main hall, 18 feet high, arranged for the meetings of the Order and for public gatherings in this community. It contains a piano and the nucleus of a museum and a library, which have awak- ened great interest among the hundred members of the Grange. The hall was dedicated November 25th, 1888, as the finest of its kind in New England. At this place it elicits universal admiration for its elegance and the purpose for which it was erected. The entire prop- erty is valued at more than $3,000.

The Woonsocket Hospital owes its existence to the forethought of Doctor Ezekiel Fowler, who also made the first generous provision for its erection a quarter of a century before its benefits could be enjoyed. He died July 23d, 1863, and by the terms of his will left a fund of $6,000, which should be devoted to this laudable purpose. This fund was to be held in trust by his friend, the Honorable Latimer W. Bal- lou, and to be available was to be specifically used within 25 years. Deeply impressed with the full sense of this stewardship, the fund was so carefully handled by Mr. Ballou that it soon doubled its origi- nal proportions and led him and others to see the possibilities of the fund before the expiration of the time for its use. In 1873, by the death of George Law, another fund of $28,000 was available for some charitable object, and on proper representation and compliance with the request of his executors, was also secured for the hospital. Their request implied a legal corporation, which was created by the general assembly in May, 1873. By that act the Woonsocket Hospital was chartered with the following incorporators: Doctor Ariel Ballou, Lati- mer W. Ballou, Thomas Steere, Paul Greene, Ira B. Peck, George C. Ballou, Stephen N. Mason, Willis Cook, Darius D. Farnum, Joseph E. Cole, Francello G. Jillson, Joseph B. Aldrich and Reuben G. Randall. The corporation was empowered to hold property to the amount of not exceeding $300,000, and the same was to be exempt from all taxation.


An unsuccessful effort was made the same year to enlist the town of Woonsocket in the movement to build a hospital, by making it a part of the corporation, and similar efforts in 1880 and again in 1884 were attended with no better results. Meantime, the agitation of the matter awakened interest in the project and created the hope that the hospital would soon become a reality. In 1881 the corporation chose a board of trustees and selected as officers: President, Doctor Ariel Ballou; secretary, F. G. Jillson; treasurer, L. W. Ballou. A. J. Elwell, J. B. Aldrich and John W. Ellis were appointed to prepare plans for laying out grounds and erecting buildings thereon. In 1883 a tract of 203 acres of land for a hospital site was purchased of Jervis C. Cass, in the southeastern part of the city. This was subsequently enlarged to 24 acres. It is elevated and well drained, and while removed from the bustle of the city, is sufficiently near the main parts to be easily accessible. It was covered with a natural growth of trees, some of which have been removed and the grounds graded and laid out into drives and walks. In the center of the graded spot the erection of the hospital was begun in the fall of 1887, following plans prepared by N. P. Wentworth, of Boston. The contract work was done by William F. Norton, under the direction of a building committee composed of John W. Ellis, Doctor George W. Jenckes and Joseph B. Aldrich. The hospital is on the cottage plan and in general appearance re- sembles the upper part of the capital letter H. It consists of two long

sections or wards, and a main building which forms a connecting cor- ridor, yet each building, having its own entrance, is in a sense separate. The interior has been arranged in accordance with the best ideas of modern hospital construction. The rooms are light and airy, and are provided with such appliances as will conduce to the health, comfort and cheerfulness of patients. There are electrical connections and the city water is supplied. The cost of building was $20,000.


The hospital was appropriately dedicated July 19th, 1888, when addresses were made by John W. Ellis, Hon. L. W. Ballou, Hon .. Thomas Steere, Doctor Joseph Hils, C. H. Merriman and others. The dedicatory prayer was by the Reverend C. J. White. A report was read showing that the Doctor Fowler fund now amounted to $35,000, that the Law fund was $35,000 and that donations had also been made by Francis Perkins, $8,000; Willis Cook, $1,500; Thisba Andrews, $1,000; Doctor Ariel Ballou, $2,000; Albert G. Wilbur, $1,000. Joseph Banigan donated $5,000 on the day of dedication. Since that time a. number of friends have made smaller but timely donations, and the hospital has not lacked means to carry on its work. Miss Imogene Slade was installed as the first matron, and there have been nine patients under her care at one time. The first death was that of John A. Kendall, October 30th, 1888, who was taken to the hospital after being fatally injured on the railroad. The medical staff of the hospi- tal is composed of local physicians of the city, who have divided them- selves into sets of six for this gratuitous service, each set to serve one year. The first staff was organized in September, 1888, and consisted of Doctors George W. Jenckes, W. C. Monroe, Joseph Hils, J. J. Baxter, Henry W. Stillman and A. M. Paine. In 1889 the officers of the hospital corporation were: President, Hon. Latimer W. Ballou; secretary, F. G. Jillson; treasurer, Henry L. Ballou; trustees, Thomas Steere, L. W. Ballou, William H. Andrews, J. B. Aldrich, A. J. Elwell, O. J. Rathbun, Dexter Clark, George W. Jenckes and John W. Ellis.


An account of the cemeteries maintained by the Friends and the Catholic churches has already been given in the foregoing sketches of those bodies. One of the oldest places of interment within the city limits is the Paine or Arnold burial ground, near Providence street. It was used as early as 1756, when John Arnold was there interred. In recent years it has been used only by descendants of that family, and although small, lacks care in its keeping. The Bernon burial ground is of more recent origin, but also bears a neglected appear- ance. The Baptist grave yard was well located, and was much used for a number of years, but it was found to be too near the center of business to be continued. Hence it was abandoned and in July, 1874, Nathaniel Elliott. F. G. Jillson and Cyrus Arnold were appointed a committee by the town to vacate it. Most of the bodies inhumed there were re-interred in the Union Cemetery, opposite the Friends' meet- ing house, south of the city. The site of the old grave yard, east of

the Air Line railroad, remains unimproved. Provision has been made for a burial place in the southeastern part of the city by the purchase of a tract of land of four acres, from H. L. Cook, for that purpose. In 1882 the town voted to plat and improve the same and to call it Edge Hill Cemetery. As yet that work has not been performed.


But of Oak Hill Cemetery the citizens of Woonsocket may justly be proud. It is conveniently located and nature has there bestowed her advantages and charms with a lavish hand. The little hill was crowned with a natural forest and at its base flows the little Mill river, separating this spot from the business interests beyond. It was first laid out in 1857, by the owner of the land, Edward Harris, and was named by him. He began beautifying the grounds and built a fine receiving vault. On the 24th of May, 1860, he deeded in gratuity this property, consisting of 16 acres, to a board of trustees for the use of the people of Woonsocket, and it has since been controlled by that body. Under their direction the plans of the donor have been further carried out and improvements made, including the building of a gran- ite entrance way. Many interments have here been made, including former leading citizens, whose resting places are marked by attractive monuments.


The first board of trustees of the Oak Hill Cemetery was composed of Edward Harris, president; Willis Cook, vice-president; Reuben G. Randall, secretary and treasurer; Daniel N. Paine, Latimer W. Ballou, Samuel S. Foss and Peter Simpson.


Owing to the recent organization of Woonsocket as a distinct polit- ical body, it is difficult to prepare a separate account of the military operations in which its citizens were engaged. The records of these matters are a part of the history of the mother towns. A brief refer- ence only to each period which was characterized by the events of war is here made.


Traditionary accounts are given of a skirmish between the whites and Indians in the time of King Philip's war, at some point in the woods, in what is now the southern part of the city; but they are not clear enough to be fully accepted. It is clear, though, that this part of the country was not wholly free from fears of attack by the Indians, and for mutual protection there was a military company in existence, which had the following members, some of whom lived in this city: Captain Jonathan Mowry, Lieutenant Ananias Mowry, Ensign Thomas Arnold, Clerk Samuel Aldrich, Surgeons John Phillips, Nathaniel Sta- ples and Aaron Herenden; Sergeants Henry Blackmore, Richard Sayles, Jr., Thomas Herenden and John Sayles, Jr .; Corporals John Harris and Obadiah Herenden; Elisha Mowry, John Melavory, Fran- cis Herenden, Thomas Walling, Moses Arnold, William Bates, John Mann, Joshua Phillips, Ezekiel Goldthwaite, Ebenezer Thornton, Joseph Arnold, Jr., John Mowry, minor, William Comstock, John Smith, Ichabod Comstock, John Phillips, Daniel Phillips, Stephen Sly,
