GROESBECK MASONIC LODGE #354
In March 1835 the first Masonic meeting was held in Texas for the purpose of establishing
a lodge inTexas. Six Masons met under an oak tree near the town of Brazoria. They
applied to the Grand Lodge of Louisiana to form and open a lodge. A dispensation was
issued and later a charter was issued. The first Texas Lodge was called Holland Lodge
No.36. It was named after the then Master of Masons in Louisiana, John Henry Holland.
Anson Jones was the first Worshipful Master of Holland Lodge No. 36, now Holland
Lodge No. 1. The charter was brought by John M. Allen and given to Anson Jones just
prior to the Battle of San Jacinto. When Limestone County was organized in 1846, there
was no Masonic Lodge in Groesbeck. In June, 1872, twenty-five Masons signed a
petition seeking dispensation for a lodge in Groesbeck. On June 14, 1872, while the
Masonic Grand Lodge of Texas was in session in Houston, Texas, the Most Worshipful
Samuel Bramlette, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Texas signed the Charter of the
Groesbeck Masonic Lodge #354. The twenty-five charter members were set to labor on
July 10, 1872, by Brother A.B. Pickens, a member of Springfield Lodge #74 in Mexia. The
charter officers were J.J. Lewis, Worshipful Master; J.W. Ferrill, Senior Warden, J.C.
Welch; Junior Warden, A. Anglin, Treasurer; A.B. Robinson, Secretary; J.C.Anglin, Senior
Deacon; William Wilson, Jr. Deacon.
