History of East Trinity Lodge No. 157, A.F.& A. M.
Some years later, another two-story building was erected at this
same location, and East Trinity owned and continued to use the
upper story at least from 1885 until 1955 when it was sold.
The Lodge then purchased the adjacent one story building, which
is still it's present meeting place.
East Trinity Lodge obtained it's charter on January 18, 1855.
The committee on work and returns had reported on January 17, to
the Grand Lodge that:
"East Trinity Lodge, U. D. work correct. Returns
corrected. We recommend that a Charter be issued on
payment of fees."
In 1856, The Grand Lodge of Texas found East Trinity Lodge's
returns were "correct in every particular." However, the
committee on by-laws recommended some amendments to the by-laws
of the Lodge. In 1857. the returns were again found
correct.
Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Texas, Volumes I and II, has
in its appendix some confirmed statistics of this Lodge from it
earliest years. In 1857, when it had been chartered for
only two years, it had twenty-two members, had conferred nine
degrees, and had made only one rejection and three suspensions.
