A BRIEF HISTORY OF MOUNT MORIAH LODGE NO. 24

In the year 1956, a body consisting of fifty men organized a club, under the name and title Blue Eagle Benevolent Association, with the intention of forming a Masonic Lodge.

After a period of time, the said group requested permission from the Grand Lodge of the Province of Ontario (PH), which is now known as The Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge Province of Ontario and Jurisdiction, to become a Masonic Lodge. In 1957, the request was granted and the name Mount Moriah Lodge was chosen. The body was then placed under Dispensation by the Most Worshipful Grand Master, the Hon. with the following officers:

On August 11, 1958, the said body was then warranted and chartered under the name and title Mount Moriah Lodge No. 24. Following this, on November 7^th 1958, the Lodge was dedicated and consecrated, after which a banquet was held at Windsor Station. The guest speaker was the Hon. , Past Grand Master of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Michigan.
