The first Masonic Lodge in Mahoning county was
instituted at Canfield, June 8, 1813, under a dispensation from
the Grand Lodge of the State of Ohio, applied for in the
previous year by the following named citizens:
Charles A. Boardman, Elisha Whittlesey, George
Stilson, Francis Dowler, Arad Way, Trial Tanner, Isaac Newton,
Henry Ripley, Charles B. Fitch, Richard Fitch, William Logan,
Archibald Tanner, Lewis Hoyt, and John Winthrop.
These brethren had all attained to the Third degree in Masonry,
and being resident more than twenty-miles from any regular lodge
of Masons were anxious to have a lodge instituted in which they
could participate in the ceremonies and enjoy the privileges of
their ancient craft. The new lodge was called Western Star
Lodge, in accordance with the wishes of the petitioners and took
rank as No. 21. It was instituted on the date named by
Judge Geo. Tod as deputy for John Lavitt, master of
Erie Lodge, at Warren, who was unable to attend on account of
sickness.
The records contain the following entry of the
consecration ceremonies:MORE TO COME
