All About Bancroft Lodge #482
October 3, 2011 (from R.W. Bro. Frank Wilson, Lodge Historian and Reporter)
;)
Bancroft Lodge #482 was instituted in 1905 and is located in a purpose-built structure (meaning that it is a 2-storey building with the lodge on the upper floor and the ground floor being a rental property).
The building was erected in 1910 and has been in use for 101 years with rental income for all but one of those years.
We are located at 63 Hastings Street in Bancroft, which is the main thoroughfare. In 2010-11, we spent over $90,000 refurbishing the inside and outside of the building which is now one of the most attractive on the main street. Two new washrooms, a stair lift, new air conditioning and heater units, and complete new exterior siding. At present, we have approximately 170 members and are the most northerly lodge in the Prince Edward Masonic District.
We feature a "Coffee Club" every Friday from 10:00am until 1:00pm. All are welcome, including our ladies, friends, cottagers, neighbours and children as we have games, crayons, kids card games, etc. for them. It began in 2000 and we've welcomed over 14,000 visitors/guests from many states, provinces and countries. The Coffee Club also has an annual event, either a live theatre production (Belleville or Lindsay) or a cruise and a feast at a Belleville restaurant. We also began a "Robbie Burns Night" on January 25, 2010 and expect it to continue for years to come as it proved to be very popular.
We regularly donate to local charities including the local hospital building and x-ray funds and several Masonic district funds, and built a "Conversation Square" in Millennium Park in Bancroft to celebrate our 100th Anniversary in 2005. The Lodge is also a sponsor of a kids soccer team (age groups Tykes 4-6, Juniors 7-8 and Intermediates 9-11). In 2011, our Intermediate Team won the over-all league championship!.
We welcome interested folks to come and join us at the Coffee Club, take a tour of the lodge room, and learn something about Freemasonry and what it has to offer the individual, his family and the community in which we live. If interested, please contact Worshipful Master Larry Marlowe at (613-332-1417) or Historian R.W. Bro. Frank Wilson (613-332-0222).
All In The Family: Links Between some Members from the Wooler Area.
(reported by W. Bro. Peter Johnson – Historian & Reporter Franck Lodge)
;)
Franck Lodge has always had a strong contingent of members from the Wooler area. In recent years the name DORLAND would come to mind.
If we go back in time, there were several related families with Franck Lodge ties, and the common factor was the name WESSELS. Frank WESSELS was W. Master in 1925, but several of his relatives by birth or marriage were also involved.
McCOLLS had WESSELS links.
Samuel T. GUNTER (W. Master 1874) Married Alice SCOTT who was a WESSELS descendant. Her sister Hulda SCOTT married George E.R. WILSON (W. Master 1878-80, 1885-86), and a brother Warrington SCOTT was W. Master in 1889-90.
This group was descended from the earliest WESSELS to settle in the Bay of Quinte area, and he was Nicholas WESSELS who was born in New Jersey in 1759. He arrived in Canada about 1790.
Probably the largest concentration of local WESSELS burials is at the abandoned Wessels Cemetery near Wooler.
