HISTORY OF DANE COUNTY.
Madison Royal Arch Chapter, No. 4 .- The dispensation of this Chapter was dated August 8, 1850, and was issued by the Grand Royal Arch Chapter of Wisconsin, at its first session, held in the city of Madison, August 7, 1850. The Chapter was not opened, however, until the 24th day of January, 1851, when it was formally opened by M. E. Comp. Dwight F. Lawton, Grand High Priest of the Royal Craft in Wisconsin.
The Charter, however, is dated December 10, 1850.
The charter members were Augustus A. Bird, N. Bishop Eddy, David Holt, Jr., John Catlin, Alexander Smith, Reuben Smith, Lyman Crossman, Ebenezer Clewett and Henry W. Yager. Comp. David Holt, Jr., is supposed to be the only charter member still living.
The Chapter was opened in the old Argus building, then occupied by Madison Lodge, and since that time its meetings have been in the rooms occupied by Madison Lodge No. 5.
The dispensation and charter to Madison Chapter were the first issued for a new Chapter by the Grand Chapter after its organization, and therefore dates back to the early days of Royal Arch Masonry in this State. Madison Chapter now numbers one hundred and thirteen mem- bers.
