Mifflinburg Lodge No. 370 History:
While independently instituted in 1866, Lodge No. 370 gratefully
acknowledges this parental relationship to Lafayette Lodge No.194, presently
located at Selinsgrove, Penna. and Charity Lodge No. 144 of Lewisburg, Penna.
The factors of time and distance separating these early lodges on the local
scene appear relatively insignificant when one considers the period of history
in which they were born. Subsequently to the so-called high-water mark of anti-Masonic
feeling, and undaunted by severe opposition evidenced to Free Masonry and in
keeping with true American pioneering of the time, a small group of young men
planned to petition Grand Lodge that a charter be granted for a Lodge to be
instituted in Mifflinburg. The following were the seventeen petitioners:
N.W.Colburn, J.E Herr, Richard V.B. Lincoln, B.F. Eaton, Cornelius Pellman,
Abram Long, James Wilson, William Chapham, James Haus, Samuel Pellman, Thomas
Gutelius, George G. Hassenplug, H.C. Steadman, John Hayes, J.D.S. Gast, Hudson Mench, and Aaron
Smith.
Accordingly on August 20, 1866 the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania issued a
warrant to establish a Masonic Lodge in Mifflinburg. This warrant was issued to
N.W. Colburn W.M., J.E. Herr S.W., and Richard V.B. Lincoln J.W. This
authorized them to confer the degrees and install and instruct their
successors.
The meeting place of the Lodge was in the room over the store in the H.G.
Wolfe building on Chestnut Street.
The rental was $60.00 per year. On the twenty-fifth day of September 1866, at
one o'clock P.M. the Deputy Grand Master, Brother I.K Robins, of Catawissa
assisted by the brethren of Mifflinburg, assembled in the hall and engaged in
the solemn ceremony of constituting the new Lodge. The Lodge moved from there
to the Sankey Building near the corner of Fourth and Walnut St. on June
27, 1871 and met there until September 29, 1884 when a resolution was passed to
meet in a room over the Mifflinburg Bank which is now the Mifflinburg Fire Hall
and met there until its present edifice was built in 1927. Permission was
granted by the Right Worshipful Grand Master to move the Lodge to its permanent
home. On November 7, A.D. 1927, A.L. 5927, the first Lodge was opened at 7 P.M.
