Hello Jennifer 1. BRITTAIN 1873 - Bro. VIALLS who became Secretary in 1871 presented an engrossed list of all W.M.s of Albany framed and glazed by BB. Augustus BRITTAIN and ALLCOCK. This list is still in use and is a valued posession of the Lodge. Augustus BRITTAIN - Master of Albany Lodge 389 in 1873 2. DIVINE First Meeting of the Lodge - 20 Sept 1828 - This list seems to have seved as a roll of Membership. It seems that the first twenty three should be regarded as foundation members, since no ballot for them is recorded; of these nine were settlers the WM, SW, John MANDY, Robert EMSLIE, W KIDSON, John WILLIS, James DIVINE, A McKENZIE, and Dr. John ATHERSTONE, at that time District Surgeon for Uitenhage. 3. DYASON The endorsements to the 1828 Petition of Albany are on the same date - 26 July 1827, by the officer of the Union Lodge no 456 Cape Town: John BLORE, Thos L TOWNSHEND, D WILLIAMS, E.H. MARSHALL, and by the officers of the British Lodge no 637 Cape Town, Morris SLOMAN, James MANCHEE, James WALKER, and Bayley DYASON secretary. 4. GLASS Bro VIALLS reviewed the earlier attempts, and remarked of the first building. "the situation of the site does not appear clearly on the minutes," and of the seceond, "the building appears to have been completed, but through the mismanagement on the part of one or two brethren (we may suppress the two names, though tradition records certain mysterious mark on the body of one of them killed by natives, seven miles from Stone's Hill) was lost to this lodge, and the ground was sold, and the foundation stone recovered by Mr. GLASS in the presence of some BB., but nothing was found under it." (Quotation from the "Eastern Star".) 5. HALSE Grahamstown's buildings were without architectural style or charm, may be reconstructed from the old Messenger's House in High Street, then inhabited by Bro. T.H. HALSE, as the nucleus of Civil Government; or from a stroll along Chapel Street "the main thoroughfare and stronghold of the 1820 settlers." First Meeting of the Lodge - 20 Sept 1828 - Then follow on the same, and on the next page, seventeen initiate or joining members, of whom nine were settlers. Signatures include - T.E. HALSE 1840 - Unfortunately in this book the pencilled headings of 17 meetings, between those of the 24th June, 1839 and 1 June 1840, in the handwriting of Bro. J.H.B. WIENAND, remain to tantalize the historian. In the 3rd minute book, which is vellum bound and water marked 1839, more serious omissions occur. The minutes kept in turn by Bro. T.H. HALSE, E.P. KING, and N. BIRKENRUTH end abruptly after 14 June 1843. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Graham and Jennifer Lloyd" <> To: <> Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2008 7:27 AM Subject: Re: [ZA-EC] Records of Albany Lodge No 389 > Many thanks for your offer.
