Sapphire Lodge No. 768 Camillus, New York 13 Jun 1876 – CAMILLUS was originally Township Number Five of the Military Tract. At the organization of the county it was included in the town of Marcellus, from which it was formed into a separate town March 8, 1799. A part of Onondaga was annexed to it in 1834. This village is situated in a picturesque spot in the valley of Nine-Mile Creek. It is on the "Old Road," or Auburn branch of the New York Central Railroad, distant nine miles from the city of Syracuse. A "side cut" or "feeder" of the Erie Canal extends to the village, and the Nine-Mile Creek supplies an excellent water-power, which attracted settlers and began to be utilized for mill purposes at an early period. In 1806 the first mills of importance were erected in the village. http://history.rays-place.com//ny/onon-camillus.htm During the summer and fall of 1875, a few brethren of the Masonic Order interested themselves in the formation of a Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons in this village. After the usual formalities, a dispensation was granted by Grand Master, Elwood E. Thorne, which was delivered on December 31, 1875; a charter was granted by the Grand Lodge on the 13th of June, 1876, and Sapphire Lodge No. 768 was formed with twenty-one charter members, as follows: Bucklin, William B. Burdick, H. D. Burdick, Lafayette Cook, S. H. Sr., Fish, T. A. Glynn, E. R. Hinsdale, A. L. Petition Date: Petitioners: Dispensation: 31 Dec 1875 Charter: 13 Jun 1876 Hopkins, A. R. Hopkins, S. L.

Meetings were held once a week until the start of the war years. The Lodge had nicely furnished rooms in the third story of the Harmon Block, fitted up at an expense of nearly $1,000, the membership having increased from twenty-one in 1876, to forty-five in 1878.

Slocum. 30 Dec 1892 First public installation of officers was conducted. 8 Jun 1900 Sapphire Lodge placed a cornerstone in the Northeast corner of the Town Building, in memory of Brother Hiram D. Corium. 5 Mar 1908 The decision was made to purchase the Munro lot on Main Street, Camillus, for the purpose of building a Masonic Temple. On 12 Mar 1908 the incorporation papers were signed. 26 Nov 1908 Lodge voted unanimously to permit the Order of the Eastern Star to use the Lodge rooms. 18 Dec 1915 The cornerstone was laid for the new Masonic Temple and a dedication ceremony was held. 20 Dec 1923 Worshipful Stephen Breed reported on his trip to Washington, DC, where he attended the laying of the cornerstone of the Washington Memorial. 7 Jul 1927 The Lodge voted to build an addition to the Temple. On 7 Feb 1828 a social evening was held for the dedication of the new addition. 5 Mar 1942 Contributions began for the New York State Masonic War Chest and aid to the nearby air field were made. 21 Oct 1943 Lodge presented plaques to members of the Lodge who had sons in the armed services.
