Lynden Lodge No.505
Lynden Lodge No. 505
Lynden, ON
In 1901 a request was presented to St. George
Lodge No. 243, St. George asking that lodge to
approve the formation of a lodge of Free Masons
at Lynden, to be known as Beverly Lodge. On a
vote of the members, the request was not
granted, as it was felt that St. George Lodge
was entitled to the masons from that area.
This request was repeated in 1904 and was again
opposed. It was not until 1911, that St. George
finally gave its approval to the formation of a
Lodge at Lynden to be known at Lynden Lodge.
Seymour Lodge No. 272, Ancaster, Ontario on
January 2, 1912, passed a resolution which was
forwarded to Grand Lodge imploring Grand Lodge
to grant a dispensation for thre formation of a
new lodge of Free Masons at Lynden.
The Warrant of Constitution was dated on July
16, 1913 and was signed by Most Worshipful
Brother Aubrey White, Grand Master, Right
Worshipful Brother R. L. Gunn, and Right
Worshipful Brother W. H. Wardrope, DDGM.
Lynden Lodge continues to meet in Lynden,
however in September of 2007 Lynden lodge
changed its meeting day from the second
Wednesday of each month to the 1st Wednesday of
each month..
