Description

This book is a condensed version of an eight hundred plus page book that describes in certain detail the happenings of this Wisconsin Masonic lodge in the 150 year period of its existence.

This condensed version is made up of over five hundred pages. It does not remove any of the story lines of the original unabridged version but just removes mostly, the names of officers, elected and appointed, all the way through the 150 years. Other instances with references to specific persons that only take up space but do not actually contribute to the story That may be being told. Few of these names and instances would have any recognition to the reader outside of the area of the lodge That may be being written about. That may be not to say that there are portions of the book that describe certain people, that may add a historical avenue to the narrative.

There were on a regular basis happenings in the lodge that are described, that add detail to the history of the lodge which deserves recording and to the events occurring outside of the lodge whilst the brethren of the lodge were doing their work. A few of these happenings are recorded after the passage of every year in the section called “The Outside World in (1856)” and every year to the end of the year of 2006.

There are events such as the Masonic trials that took place in the early years of the lodge, the charity that was once extended to the sufferers of the Peshtigo and Chicago fires in 1871, the events that were referred to all through the Civil War and after the two World Wars and all those events that took up the time and energies of those in and out of the lodge. Or the letter that a disgruntled Mason had published in the local newspaper in Chapter 32 and the response that the lodge made to it. All of these events and many more, make up the interesting day to day happenings of the lodge and its members.

This book was once produced to preserve a record of what happened all through the life of Dodge County Lodge #72 and to provide a record for any person outside of the fraternity that might out of curiosity or of a real interest, in becoming aware of what Masonry actually is and what has made it the oldest and largest fraternity on the planet.
