Madison Lodge No 44 emerges in Madison County Masons
In early 1841 Madison Lodge LL D received dispensation to operate as a Master Mason lodge with officers Bell Mershon Irish Cook and others. The body organized, elected officers, funded dues and sought a charter. After early meetings and relocations the lodge grew, moved to Pendleton then Anderson, and inspired new lodges across the region.
