History

Harmony Lodge was granted dispensation April 5, 1855 when the first 3 principal officers were installed with W. Bro. Win. Mussen, W.M. of York Lodge 286 G.R.I. presiding.

    1^st W.M. was W. Bro. Jeremaih Taylor

    1^st S.W. was Bro. John Brown

    1^st J.W. was Bro. Henry Morgan

The W.M. was then regularly installed at a special Past Masters’ meeting in Hamilton on June 28, 1855. Harmony Lodge, being formed prior to the Grand Lodge of Canada, was granted a warrant from the Grand Lodge of Ireland and numbered 358. The warrant was issued July 1856, however the Lodge held it’s first meeting as Harmony No. 27 on February 25, 1856. In 1858, after the union of the Ancient Grand Lodge and the Grand Lodge of Canada, Harmony Lodge was renumbered as No. 57.

Few other firsts include:

    1^st Candidate was Reuben Taylor, son of the first W.M.

    1^st Grand Lodge Officer was R.W. Bro. Rev. George Chrystal

    1^st Grand Master to visit was M.W. Bro. John Ross Robertson

    1^st D.D.G.M. was R.W. Bro. Hugh Johnson in 1917

Members from Harmony Lodge formed Wentworth Lodge, which in turn formed T.H. Simpson Lodge. Harmony Lodge members also formed Lincoln Lodge.
