Notes

1852 Proceedings: A Petition, in due form, was received from sundry Brethren residing in Wetzel, praying for a Dispensation to open and hold a Lodge at New Martinsville, by the name of Wetzel Lodge, No. ---, and nominating Bro. John D. O'Conner, Master; Joseph Vance, Senior Warden, and W. D. Havely, Junior Warden. Resolved, That a Dispensation do issue in accordance with prayer of Petitioners. 1853 Proceedings: No confirmation, listed under Lodges. 1857 Proceedings: The action of the R. W. Grand Master in reference to Wetzel Lodge, No. 104, is highly commendable. That Lodge, when called together by the D. D. Grand Master, showed culpable looseness in their records, a very great want of unity and brotherly love towards each other - the Wor. Master bringing serious charges against his officers, and they, in turn, doing the same towards him and the character of the members of the Lodge, as a body, injuring the reputation of the Fraternity in the eyes of the more respectable portion of the community. The W. Master belongs to another jurisdiction; is not amenable to this Grand Lodge-thus presenting the anomalous condition of a body amenable to one court, and the head to another. This Lodge being a source of Darkness, rather than of Masonic Light, was, most justly, suspended by the M. W. G. Master, and we recommend that the action of the M. W. G. Master in the premises be confirmed. The fact that necessity forced that Lodge to go to another jurisdiction for a head, as no one qualified could be found in their midst, shows that there is no need for a Lodge at that place. We recommend, therefore, the following: Resolved, That the charter of Wetzel Lodge, No. 104, be revoked. 1858 Proceedings: Listed as extinct. 1859 Proceedings: Listed as extinct. 1860 Proceedings: Listed as extinct. 1861 Proceedings: Listed as extinct. 1862 Proceedings: Listed as extinct. 1863 Proceedings: Listed as extinct. 1864 Proceedings: Listed as extinct. 1865 Proceedings: Listed as extinct. 1866 Proceedings: Listed as extinct. 1867 Proceedings: Listed as extinct.
