Fine Celebration of It's wooden
Wedding Anniversary.
Tonight is Israel Putnam's night, when
this strong and prosperous lodge celebrates |
Its fifth anniversary or wooden wedding,

shields of wood deity made and suitably
inscribed as follows:
ISRAEL PUTNAM LODGE,
No. 81,
A. o. u. W.
1SS7-lS92.
FIFTH ANNUAL,
NOVEMBER 1S.
Also upon the shields face in the center
is a figure of shield, on the face of which
a ship under full sail is represented (em-
blematic of Putnam's prosperity as well as
of the order) also the initials, "a. o. U.
w." and the lodge number 81. The in
ner shield Is in the center of a sun burst,
emblematic of the light and cheer difused
by the order. An anchor Is represented
just under the inner shield indicative of
something sure and steadfast, such as the
order appears to be.
