Elston Van Alstine District Deputy Grand Master W.’. Harry Stone Dedicated Service Award, 1976 Edited and reformatted from 100th Anniversary, Sapphire Lodge No. 768 1876-1976 written by W.. Paul Hurst Charles D. Darling was born 23 Mar 1845 in Camillus, New York, and was a resident of Auburn for 22 years. He was a member of St. Paul’s Lodge No 124 and a Past Master of Sapphire Lodge No. 768. He had two children, Mrs. Edward F. MacEwen of Cleveland, Ohio, and Fred J. Darling of Buffalo . . . and two grandchildren, Miss Olive MacEwen of Cleveland, and Clyde Darling of Kent, New York. He died ca 24 Jan 1921 (Saturday morning) at his home on East Genesee Street, Auburn, after a three months illness and with interment at Soule Cemetery with Masonic Honors. Eliakim E. Veeder, 1859-'61, President of the Village Board. Onondaga Lodge No. 802 East Syracuse, New York 1892 – Gathered in the hay loft of the old Livery Stable of Fred Sterling’s place on Manlius Street, some Brothers were circled around a box by the light of a lantern, discussing the requirements and possibilities of forming a Masonic Lodge. Included in this meeting were Brothers: Albro, S. L. Bennett, A. W. Chapman, F. E. Cole, L. A. Demon, J. H. Estes, L. H. Marshall, Fred A. Odell, Walter Parker, James A. Sarr, M. E. Smith, S. McK. Sterling, F. O. 84
Thus was the beginning of Onondaga Lodge No. 802. The first date we have of any minutes being kept was on 27 Oct 1890 when the above named Brothers met to discuss the establishing of a Lodge in East Syracuse. It also appeared probable that the hall in the Ball Block, known as the Conductor’s Hall, could be had at the cost of about $40 per year. On 31 Oct 1890 it was decided to contact the Syracuse Lodges as well as Fayetteville Lodge No. 578 to get their consent for the forming of a new Lodge. On 20 Nov 1890 a meeting was called for the purpose of electing officers for the proposed Lodge. There were 22 votes cast with the following results: S. McK. Smith, Master (who was principal of East Syracuse Schools); F. O. Sterling, Senior Warden; West Bartlett, Junior Warden. These were the only officers elected at that time. The question of a name for the Lodge was next in order and the following names were proposed: East Syracuse, DeWitt Clinton, Onondaga, and Rising Sun. After considerable discussion, it was voted to call the Lodge “East Syracuse Lodge.” A request for dispensation was asked, but because it was not made before 15 Feb 1891, and not being in at least three months before Grand Lodge met, the request was not granted at that time. The request, however, was granted on 25 Nov 1891, but only after the Lodge changed its name, at the request of Grand Lodge. It was then decided the Lodge would be known as Onondaga Lodge, after our county, and also bringing back to life the name of a former Masonic Lodge by the name of Onondaga No. 98, which had be organized at Onondaga Valley in 1803, but had ceased to work some years later. It may also be noted that the number was Onondaga Lodge No. 800 for a little time, but apparently was renumbered shortly after to 802. About this time a meeting was called to elect a Master, as Bro. Smith had transferred out of town. After the ballots had been counted, Bro. I. W. Allen was elected Master. Petition Date: ??? Petitioners: Dispensation: 25 Nov 1891 Charter Date: ???
