Military Service

Early in July 1862, Abraham Lincoln issued his Proclamation, calling for three hundred thousand men, to serve for three years; and on the fourth of August following summoned to the field three hundred thousand more to serve for nine months. The Twenty-seventh Connecticut Regiment was organized under this latter call. Freemasonry has always travelled with the fighting men of our nation. Widow's Son Lodge #66 was to give her share to the cause of the Union, as the Senior Warden, Brother Henry Z. Nichols rose from his seat in the West to join up with Company B of the 27th CT. He would later fight in three battles of the Civil War, Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg, and Gettysburg. Upon his safe return he would serve our lodge as Worshipful Master 1863-65, and again in 1874.

I write this because history has once again repeated itself. Brother Charles Ellis who is our Junior Warden for the year 2004, a member of the Army Reserves, has been activated for service. His country has called and he has answered. It is our hope and prayer that as our masonic brother before him returned safely, that he will also. Though we may not ask him to serve as Master for as many terms, it will be a pleasure to meet him once again on the level. May he who never sleeps watch over him.
