| Warrant No. 41 first issued to 'Munster Custom Lodge' in Thurles, Co. Tipperary on 1st November 1735. It was removed to 'Passage' Co. Cork on 7th September 1796 and cancelled again on 4th July 1822. Re-issued to 'Larne Blue Lodge' Co. Antrim on 16th August 1825 in lieu of Warrant No. 825 (Which was first founded in 1796.). (Only cancelled from Cork in 1844??) 13 members served in the Great War, only one making the great sacrifice. A Centenary Service was held in First Larne Presbyterian Church in 1925 (Must have been Centenary of the Warrant???) The Lodge still sits today on the first Wednesday of each month in Larnne Masonic Centre. This Jewel was presented to W.Bro. Samuel James Clarke inn January 1936 for his services (Have to check if he was W.M. in 1935 as well.) |
