Some Glimpses Into The History of Brownstone Lodge

On the same night as the Earth passed through the tail of Halley's Comet in 1910, thirteen Master Masons met to form a Masonic Lodge in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania.

Having sent out a petition and subscription list earlier in the year, they had received a very positive response. Homework completed, a warrant was granted to Brownstone Lodge Number Six Hundred and Sixty Six by the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania on September 7th.

Brother William M. Donaldson, DDGM constituted Brownstone Lodge on October 1, 1910.

The Warrant officers were William H. Earnest as Worshipful Master, William C. Baker as Senior Warden, Titus W. Fegley as Junior Warden, Earl R. Mays as Secretary and Henrey M. Horst as Treasurer.

The new Lodge held its first meeting on October 8, 1910.
