Organized Grand Lodge of Dakota.
The Grand Lodge of Dakota was or
ganized June 20, 1875, with the lodges
at Elk Point, Yankton, Vermillion,
Canton n Yankton as the constitu-
ent lodges. Whether the lodges at
Fargo and Bismarck received formal
invitation to unite in this organization,
is a mooted question, though the broth
ers in the southern half of the terri
tory contend that an invitation was
sent. From 1880 to 1889. twenty six
lodges were organized in the northern
part of the territory. With the divi-
sion of the territory came the organ
ization OF the Grand Lodge of North
Dakota. From thirty-one lodges, with
1922 members in 1889, this grand
lodge has grown to 103 lodges with
nearly 5000 members in 1913.
1t is an interesting fact that among
the early Masons Of Dakota Terri
tory were many of those who have
shaped the destinies of our early his
tory. Likewise. in the present day
Masons are leaders in the life Of every
community in this commonwealth.
