LIGHT FROM THE EAST

WM John Haas

Origin of Masonry in Florida

Florida was claimed by various nations before becoming a state in 1845. It was first a Spanish Colony,
and then sold to Great Britain in 1763. And then ceded back to Spain in 1783 and the whole territory was sold
to the United States in 1819. The first Masonic lodge in the Florida territory was chartered from Scotland in
1768 called Grants East Florida Lodge No. 142. In 1771 St. Andrews Lodge in Pensacola was chartered. Between the 1770s and early 1820s several other lodges were organized but all were short lived. The last being
Esperanza Lodge, in St. Augustine, warranted by the Grand Lodge of South Carolina in 1824.
On March 4, 1824, Territorial Governor William Pope Duval issued a proclamation that the capital of
Florida would be at the intersection of the old Spanish road with the old trail leading southwardly. At the time,
this area was referred to as: The old Tallahassee Indian Fields.
Before the end of the year, a log capital building was built on the southeast corner of the present Capital Square and the third session of the Legislative Council assembled in it.
In this log structure, one of the first legislative council meetings in Florida convened to create Leon
County. By act approved by Governor Duval on December 29, 1824, the Ochlocknee River was made the
eastern boundary of Gadsden County. All of the territory between the Ochlocknee and Suwannee Rivers was
made Leon County. Tallahassee was incorporated on December 11, 1825. That same year marked the foundation of the first enduring Masonic Lodge in Florida.
Predating the incorporation of Tallahassee as Floridas Capital, Jackson Lodge, U. D., was chartered by
the Grand Lodge of Alabama in June 3, 1825. The Lodge was chartered as Jackson Lodge No. 23 by the same
Grand Body on December 19, 1825, with Robert Butler as Charter Master, Jackson Lodge was named for our
Most Worshipful Brother, General Andrew Jackson, who served two years as Grand Master of Tennessee,
1822-23 and 1823-1824; as the first territorial governor of Florida, and as the seventh President of the United
States.

Chaplins Corner
Brothers, we have once again lost a Brother and friend to that celestial Lodge above. Brother
James E. Fretwell passed on October 13, 2014 and we performed Masonic rites for him at the graveside. We were also informed by the family that we had lost William Broadway back in October of
2012! We have too many Brothers that have been lost and we know nothing about what happened to them.
Please tell your loved ones and family to keep the Lodge informed. Even if they dont want the ceremony of a
Masonic service, we need to know the information to keep the records straight and prevent them from being
bothered with the sad news again and again over the years after. So far this month we have no sickness or distress to report and that is just fine with us! Until next time Brothers, may the Great Architect guide and protect
you and your family and the Light of his love shine on you all.

(Continued from page 3)

According to the history of Montgomery Lodge No. 11 of Alabama, there were the ones who sponsored the
formation of Jackson Lodge No. 23 in Florida. According to the 1824 Grand Lodge Proceedings, on Saturday
Evening of December 18th, it was reported at Grand Lodge that,
A communication from several brother Masons residing at or near Tallahassee in the Territory of
Florida praying a Dispensation to authorize them to open and hold a Lodge of Ancient FreeMasons, was
read and referred to the committee on petitions.
This is the first and only mention of Jackson Lodge in the 1824 proceedings. In the 1825 proceedings,
on Saturday, December 17th, Bro. John B. Hogan, the Grand Junior Warden, and member of the credentials
committee reported that Daniel M. Riggs, the Grand Secretary of Alabama, represented Jackson Lodge U.D. of
Tallahassee, Florida. Then on Monday, December 19, 1825, Secretary Riggs:
presented the petition of the Masters and Wardens of Jackson Lodge of Tallahassee (now working under
dispensation from this Grand Lodge) praying a warrant of constitution.
The motion was referred to a select committee consisting of John B. Hogan, Grand Senior Warden, and
Past Grand Master William B. Patton. The committee made the following report,
The committee to whom was referred the petition, by-laws and transcript of the proceedings of Jackson Lodge of Tallahassee, in the territory of Florida, working under a
dispensation, granted at the last
annual meeting of this Grand Lodge, beg leave to report that
they have examined the same and find them
strictly correct, according to Masonic usage. And therefore recommend that the petition be granted, and
that the Grand Secretary forthwith forward to the petitioners a warrant of constitution.
On Thursday, December 22nd, Bro. Riggs Secretary Report shows that the Grand Lodge received $35
from Jackson Lodge for their Dispensation. On Monday, December 26th, Bro. Hutchinson, Grand Senior Warden, and Chairman of the Returns Committee, reported that the returns of Jackson Lodge had been reviewed
and found them to be correct and that Jackson Lodge owed the Grand Lodge the sum of $14.
The Grand Lodge of Georgia Chartered Washington Lodge No. 1 a Quincy in 1828 and Harmony
Lodge in Marianna in 1829.
In 1830, Jackson Lodge No. 23 of Tallahassee invited Washington Lodge and Harmony Lodge to meet
with it in its hall to consider forming a grand Lodge of Florida. Convening on July 5, 1830 this convention
adopted a resolution to form the Grand Lodge of Florida. On July 9, 1830, the Lodges met to adopt governing
rules and on the following day, elected officers. The new Grand Lodge officers were installed using the Rules
and By-Laws of Alabama. Under the new Grand Lodge of Florida, Jackson Lodge became No. 1, Washington
Lodge No. 2, and Harmony Lodge No. 3, all being dated July 6, 1830. Floridas Masons created their grand
jurisdictions 15 years before Florida joined the Union as the 27th state.
The Grand Lodge of Florida met in the hall of Jackson Lodge No. 1 at Tallahassee, from 1830 to 1869,
at which time it was moved to Jacksonville.

(Continued on page 6)
Stress and the Holidays:

(continued from page 5)

Not everyone will have a happy family gathering just because it is the holiday season. Old resentments are
likely to resurface, no matter how hard we try, when people are thrown together for an extended period.
In addition, there are a number of strategies that can be used in planning the holiday celebration.
These strategies include the following:
Delegate responsibilities and activities so that one person is not taking on more than can be accomplished
without help.
Do not assume responsibility for the entire households holiday happiness.
Work minute by minute on your attitude. Postpone becoming angry and show understanding and calmness.
This technique should be used not only during the holiday period, but every day!
Any task that you have chosen to do, whether it be the cooking, cleaning, gift wrapping, card addressing,
organizing, decorating or shopping, is to be viewed as a choice that you made. Try to have fun in tackling
these tasks, which will make the holiday easier and keep your spirits positive.
Start traditions that make the most sense to you in your life now. It doesnt always have to be done the same
way every year.
Do things together as a family that you all truly enjoy.
Make the holiday season a time for you and your loved ones to have fun and to share special memories. When
the entire season is over, sit down, relax and count your blessings. Remind yourself as to how lucky you are.
When you make an effort to have a joyous, stress-free holiday, you can avoid the stress. The key is to plan
ahead, and to ask for and accept help from others.
