SOME INTERESTING HISTORY. Joe Smith's Efforts to Demoralize Masonry—The First Lodges in the State—The Growth of the Order —Its Grand Masters. Davenport Democrat: The grand lodge of Frce and Accepted Masons in Towa will assemble i this city in their forty-third annual communication next Tuesday. And with a hearty greeting and welcome for the grand officers and representatives, the Doemocrat-Gazette,in honor of the event, gives its readers s HISTORIO SKETCH of the grand lodge, which witl intercst its Masonic readers, and bo rcad with attention by the proianes. Of course the bistory is but a sketch—complete it would require a8 much space as would the his- tory of the state itself, It was as early as 1840 that the question of organizing a lodge in this state was first mentioned, and at that time, while Iowa was only in the second year of her territorinl existonce, it was a difficult matter to find men of sufticient faith or time to take hold of the matter and to interest themselves in the organization of o state lodge. The call was made by James Clarke, afterward territorial gov- ermor, and he in his proclamation re- quested the members of the craft to meet in Burlington, where they might be able to hear something for their good. At this meeting Mr. William Thompson, Hiram O, Bennett and Evan Eyans were the most energetio, and these gentlemen must, in a_great degree, be given the credit for the organization of the order in the state which is now so prominent and flourishing. The Burlington lodge was the first one formally established, and November 10, 1810, the grand master of the Missouri ‘grand lodge issucd to it the letter of dis- pensation. Together with the gentiemen above mentioned, with the ofticers, there were Messrs. Loevan Curtz, Hammer and McCord, James R. Harsrock, late a resi- dent of Iowa City, was the first grand master. ‘The next was opganized st Bioomington, now Museatine, in the winter of 184). Ansel Humphrey was the first master of this lodge. Inthe fall ot the sume year a lodge was opened at Du- buque. The Iowa City lodge, which is 0 among the oldest in the state, was founded as early as October, 1843, Boon after the forming of this lodge, the mem- bers of the four lodges then organized, detormined on a day for the helding of » Masonie convention. ity was designated as the place of meeting, and on the first Tuesday in June, 1 dele- gates from these s wet there for the vurpose of “proeeeding to s complete and perfect organization of the grand lodzu of Jowa.”” At this convention the odges ever the territory were all repre- sented with the nmw the Burlington lodge. ides $he lodges represented, there were alio delegates from two p one being the Rising Sui Montrose, and Keokuk 1:«1 U. These had beon under the iction of the MNhnois grand lodge, and had not been !“mu“d :fi:vgflqn; but at the ul.m came unbidden to the hu"- City meeting, and there, as & matter of course, were denied seats in the convention, not only on account of their eharters ‘lxlnz L 8r l rested, but also of their Mormon affiini- ties; for it will be remembered that Joe Smith had brought his colonies over into that part of Iowa and was working his principles into these two lodges. Ansel umphreys, of the Bluominssmn Iod¥«, presided at the mecting, and through his unstrumentality and wisdom the grand lodge of the state was organized. ‘The Burlington lodge was_represented by J. H. McKenny, Wesley Jones and H. T, Hugins, ‘The Bloomington lodge was represented by W‘orshis)ful Master Humphbreys and Dr. 8. B. Olds. ‘I'ne Towa City lodge wus represented by Dr. William Reynolds, J. Hurtsock and Dr. Ballord. The Dubuque lod&o 'was represented b; Timothy Fanning, G. W. Cumings an T. 8. Wilson. At this meeting Oliver Cock was elec- ted grand master, and thus in due form, the grand lodge of Iowa was _established on the 2d of January, 1844. T. 8. Parvin, who, with his father, Josiah n, had taken prominent part in the organization of the grand lodge, was elected grand sceretary, a position he has held ever sipge, with the exception of tho yoar he was grand master, gnd even then he per-- formed the grand sccretary's duties. The late Judge Joseph Wilhams delivered the address at the convention, Such was the beginning of the grand lodge of own. There was little that occured of much consequence till early in 1818, the grand lodge commenced the stoeking of its li- brary—and now it has 1n 1ts possession one of the best and largest cojlection of books in the Unijgd States—and a fine li- brary building of its own, Thefirst fow sessions of the body were held at JTowa City, when in 1848, it was deemed best to make an itinerant body, or, as was generally remarked, “‘put it on wheels,” This was done in order to remove it from the political capital. The members of the fraternity have ever regarded lnolilios and mason-- ary as two separate institutions, and any alliance of the two as wrong; but in De- cember, 1848, two ambitious politicians sought the advantages that their masonic friends and their rank might give them, and the oftices which they sought came to them very easy. This was usedas a pretext by other politicians outside of the order, and it cast, of course, an oppto- brium upon the order to have such re- flections cast upon its members. At about this'time the mania for th tablishing ot ‘‘masonic colleges” its origin, and the grand lodge, with a lmusnr{ of less than $300, was hardly able to'indulge: in-this kind of work. On this su b]eut,:hu.-;frmd secretary, Prof. ‘T, 8. Parwin, was pleased to remark in his report, that “b,‘.lfphily, for once, the dogged obstinaey of youthful members overeame the' proverbial wisdom and mengfi of the #ldu ones, and the grand ge of lows Was _sparod the bumilie- tion of some of her’ sister grand lodges on this scorel” | It has also been the object ofthe Iowa grand lodgo in‘the past “not to recognize any sentiment tending toward the estab- lishment of a nationat grand lodge. This they have ever copsidered but the crea- tion of n great giart that would in time consume the lesser bodies. The Iowa masons have also been not a little con- scrvative on all questions which seemed 0 bear upon the ultimate narrowing of heir state rights, and this poiat they have guarded fuulousy. D As is generally the case with large pub lig associations of this kind it has been difticult for the lowa grand lodge to come up through all these years without contention and excitement. The Burl- ington meeting in 1860 was one of ex- treme excitement, for at this meeting was to be deeided the question of affilia- tion, It is kmown to many that about this time many strangers came to our state and located: many of these were Masons from eastern “.1 who were de- sirious of afliliating wi_thA lowa. lodge; and this - question, involving as it did es- much rigk to the Iowa fraternity, must of a necessity engender alarm. To this grand lodge there eame great numbers of veterans in the Musonic cause in the east, and these sought to assist the offi- cers of the state fraternity in reaching ;nntm definite conclusion upon the sub- ject. This is the only question that has given the grand lodge any extraordinary anxiety. Its government has been ex- ceptionally smooth and but little discus- sion has existed in the order. This may be counted as a reason for its peculiar success in the state; for really there is no state grand lodge in the union that has vrospered botter than this, When it or- ganized in 1844, there was a representa- tion of only four charter lodges repre- sented. Now it has 481 working lodgos. This is andnoroase of one-third over the Missouri grand lodge, and one half over that of Iliinoi THE GRAND MASTERS who have served in the executive chair of tie grand lodge, are as follows: Oliver Cock* of Burlington, 1844, George W.

They sat for a short timo in 4 pew at the side’ that commanded a view of the en- trance. Others were there waiting for the ushers to find them better seuts. When the voluntary was about coming to an end the npew holders began to arrive.
