history.html History of Great Lights Lodge #181 Past Masters Past Masters Pictures Building Plans The following is R. F. B. Portman's talk given at the 75th Anniversary of Great Lights Lodge No 181. Diamond Jubilee On Friday, June 6, 1941, Great Lights Lodge #181 A.F.& A.M., will be 75 years old. Our meeting this evening is to give fitting recognition to this important occasion. In reviewing the history of Masonry in Decorah, we find that, had it not been for a peculiar quirk of fate this would have been our 85th anniversary, and instead of being Great Lights Lodge #181 A.F.& A.M it would have been Decorah Lodge #98 A.F.& A.M. In reviewing the history of so old and well established organization as ours, we must necessarily imagine we are living at a time when our city was still in it�s infancy and the great struggle of Civil War days was yet to come. Perusing the records we find that on Nov. 3 1856, a dispensation was granted to the �Decorah Lodge�. The archives of the lodge did not disclose who the charter members were, under this dispensation, but we find that on the 3rd day of June, 1857, a charter was granted to �Decorah Lodge #98� with the following officers and members: E. Parliman W.M. M. McCauley S.W. W. D. Gilmore J.W. R. Logan Treas. F.M. Espy Secy Joseph Lennon S.D. B.F. Jones J.D. James McCauley Tyler Members: C. W. Freeman -- F. Comstock -- L. Standring -- E. E. Cooley E. G. Maddock -- J. B. Emery -- H. A. Cleghorn -- J. E. B. Morgan J. H. Clemmer -- John Anmon -
