He received h i s degrees i n S p r i n g f i e l d Lodge No. 4, being raised March 21,1842, serving as i t s treasurer from 1858 t o 1863. He i s supposed to have been exalted i n S p r i n g f i e l d chapter i n 1842. That he served the Chapter i n 1844 and IS 1845 under the charter of the General Grand Chapter was overlooked and not brought t o l i g h t u n t i l 1944. The journal of proceedings of the Grand Royal Arch Chanter of I l l i n o i s at i t s organization show t h a t he was appointed Grand Royal Arch-Captain i n A p r i l 1850.

But l i t t l e i s known of Companion Dickey before he came to Spring-f i ? d . He was born i n 1824, but where i s unknown. He was associated witn Phares A. Dorwin i n the stove and t i n business, he, himself being a sneet metal worker by trade. We f i r s t hear of him i n business w i t h Comp. Dorwin ay Naples, 111., i n 1840 and 1841 coming t o S p r i n g f i e l d i n 1842 and opening a s i l i l a r store here. Upon a t t a i n i n g h i s m a j o r i t y he joined S p r i n g f i e l d Lodge No. 4, being raised i n 1845. He was a man of remarkable memory, easy t o commit t o memory and incapable of s u b s t i t u t i n g words. Immediately g e t t i n g i n t o the work served as master i n 1848 and signed the p e t i t i o n f o r dispensation f o r the or g a n i z a t i o n of Central Lodge Wo. 71 and named i t s f i r s t master i n 1849. He was sent t o study under Jonn W. Barney of Ohio i n the what was known as the Barney-Webb work which was the standard r i t u a l of the Grand Lodge of I l l i n o i s f o r years. So p r o f i c i e n t was he t h a t he was appointed grand l e c t u r e r and commissioned t o teach the standard work and he imparted the work t o many brethren. He was only twenty-four years of age when he was master of S p r i n g f i e l d Lodge, being one of the youngest brethren to receive t h a t honor. I t i s thought he was exalted i n S p r i n g f i e l d Chapter i n 1845 and his a b i l i t y t o memorize and h i s knowledge of r i t u a l gave him the. unique d i s t i n c t i o n of being elected high p r i e s t i n 1846 without having'held any previous o f f i c e i n the Chapter. He was re-elocted high p r i e s t i n 1847. He was a c h r t e r member of S p r i n g f i e l d Chapter under the re-organization under the Grand Royal Arch Chapter. He a c t i v e l y p a r t i c i p a t e a i n the or-ganozation of the Grand Chapter and was appointed i t s f i r s t Grand Master of the Second V e i l . Elected Grand Scribe i n 1852.

WALTER B. KILNKK

Past High F r i e s t S u l l i v a n Chapter No. 128, I67u and 1871. This is,perhaps,~ne o f the sadaest cases i n the h i s t o r y «f Spring

f i e l d Chapter. While Companion K i l n e r was known t o a great many, yet i t i s s u r p r i s i n g h-w l i t t l e can be learned o f him. He i s believed t - have been b«rn i n Englana sometime ar^una 164o where he was h i g h l y educatea i n the c l a s s i c s and phermacy. V/hen n^t under the influence o f l i q u o r , he was -ne " i the m-st b r i l l i a n t of scholars and pharmacists. The f r i s t we learn nf -ur companion was i n 1868 when he became a charter member and the f i r s t king of S u l l i v a n Chapter. He was elected king i n 1869 and High P r i e s t i n 187u ana again i n 1871. He a f f i l i a t e d w i t h S p r i n g f i e l d Chapter March 2, 188u ana was suspended May 27,1889. His lodge a f f i l i a t i o n s as w e l l as h i s previous Capitular membership has been undetermined. He was a member *t Eiw~~d C-mnajidery Ho. 6 f o r a time,

Eis name f i r s t appears i n the c i t y d i r e c t o r y of 188U-81 i n connection w i t h George K i l n e r , supposed t " have been h i s f a t h e r , and h i s residence at 4u6 East Adams St r e e t .

As previously stated he was a b r i l l i a n t pharmacist,and was the author of n A compendium o f Modern Pharmacy and Druggist Formulary." I t ran through s i x e d i t i o n s and was published by the H.Vf.Rokker Company. This stupendous work was a standard f o r many years i n the drug trade. Soiae o f these formularies are yet i n existence,Joseph B . F e l t -ham o n MacArthur Boulevard and Laurel Street having o n e o f them.

The s t o r y i s t h a t a man i n whom Companion K i l n e r had placed confidence i n absconded w i t h the funds o f the p u b l i c a t i o n . The wife of Companion K i l n e r i s supposed t " have l a t e r j o i n e c j the man who absconded. At any r a t e she l e f t her husband.

Companion K i l n e r aftex-wards became a v i c t i m of n i s weakness and f r i e n d s had him placed I n the County Home at Lenesville,where he died i n 1917. i.hile at the home he was the pharmacist and ministered t o the sick and a i l i n g . The w r i t e r knew him vcxy w e l l and met him when assigned to w r i t e a s t o r y of the Home f o r the newspaper he was then connected w i t h . Dr. K i l n e r , as he was a f f e c t i o n a t e l y known i n discussing the Home ana his c o n d i t i o n said,

"This w o r i a i s not so bad a world, As some wmid have you take i t , But, whether g o o d , «">r whether bad, Depends o n how you make i t . "

Dx. K i l n e r thought i t wasa qafttation from Addison, but the w r i t e r i s forced t o admit that he has never been able t o locate i t and w i t h others i s o f tne "pni->n that perhaps i t was o r i g i n a l w i t h him.

MEETING PLACES MASONIC TEMPLES

Y/here the meetings of the o r i g i n a l lodge of Masons i n S p r i n g f i e l d Sangamon Lodge Mo. 9, from 1822 to about 1827 are not known at the present time. One of the great troubles of t h a t lodge was a s u i t a b l e place t o meet. Bro. S t i l l m e n , the master, was i n s t r u c t e d t o procure or b u i l d a place, but i t i s extremely d o u b t f u l i f he ever b u i l t . I t was the general opinion, t h a t meetings, which were few i n number, were held i n the homes of some of i t s members. I t i s possible t h a t meetings may have been held i n some of the inns, but i t cannot be authenticated.

The f i r s t meeting place t h a t any record could be found was i n what was known as the "Hurricane Deck B u i l d i n g " located on Jefferson Street south side, between Second and Third S t r e e t s , east of the o l d St. Charles H o t e l . Sometime i n 1845 or 1846 quarters were secured over Bro. Meurice Boyle's Grocery Store on F i f t h S t r e e t , on the second l o t nortn of Adams Street on the west side. As a l l stores were open i n the evenings, Dro. Doyle's store was a rendezvoux f o r Masons and p a r t i c u l a r l y the candidates f o r the degrees. Many are the t a l e s t o l d of Bro. Doyle and his jokes. Bro. Doyle sold h i s store i n 1847 t o Bro. W i l l i a m Lavely who was grand master i n 1847 and 1848.

The four lodges secured quarters on the t h i r d f l o o r of the F a s f i e l d B u i l d i n g at the north-east corner of S i x t h anu Monroe Street s , while the higher bodies, the Chapter, Council and Commandery moved to the B r i t t i n g B u i l d i n g 204-206 South S i x t n Street. These h a l l s were used u n t i l the l a t t e r p a r t of 1909.

i n 1904 when Bros. Henna:, P i e r i k , LeKoy L. 3acchus and others became in t e r e s t e d and appeared before the various Masonic bodies i n r e l a t i o n t o the same. B u i l d i n g s i t e s were scarce and a f t e r mature consideration the one at 118-420 South S i x t h s t r e e t was approved end f i n a l l y selected.

Members of the B u i l d i n g Committee, one from each of the Lodges, Chapter and Commandery were selected as f o l l o w s :

Bro. Louis Myers, S p r i n g f i e l d Lodge No. 4 Bro. George D. Parkin, Central Lodge Ho. 71, Bro. Herman P i e r i k , Tyrian Lodge No. 333, Bro. Harry L. Smith, St. Pauls No. 500 Bro. W i l l i a m C. Sommer, S p r i n g f i e l d Chapter No. 1, Bro. LeRoy L. Bacchus, Elwood Commandery No. 6, E.T. The committee organized and elected Bro. LeHoy L. Bacchus, chair

man and Bro. Herman P i e r i k , secretary-Treasurer. The committee recommended the e r e c t i o n of a b u i l d i n g f o r Masonic

purposes only and to rent quarters to the Council and Eastern Star Chanters which was adopted. The committee canvassed the s i t u a t i o n anu recommended t h a t an assessment of ^1666.66 be placed against each of the bodies t o purchase the s i t e which was adopted. I t was decided to c a l l f o r subscriptions, Comp. Herman F i e r i k leading o f f w i t h the sum of |1000*00. Pledges were received of (600.00; ,200.00 and one hundred and ten of f100.00 each. A great many others were received from y75.00 down to $3.00, aggregating .$40,000.00. I t was decided as impracticable to remodel the house as o r i g i n a l l y intended. This b u i l d i n g was l a t e r sold f o r $1,000.00 which was turned i n t o the b u i l d i n g funu.

Bro. John I.Rinaker,Jr., of Central Lodge was selected as the a r c h i t e c t and he drew the plans f o r the present Temple

During t h i s time a g i t a t i o n was commenced f o r the organization of the Scottish K i t e i n S p r i n g f i e l d and i n 1907 Sangamo Lodge of Perfect i o n was given a dispensation. Shortly a f t e r t h e i r orgar.izationthjy

Then tbeConsistory was organized i n 1912 i t was made the holding hody f o r 1 K i t e , the Transfer was made from the Lodge of P e r f e c t i o n t o the Consist o r y .

The corner-stone wes l a i d w i t h appropriate Masonic services by the Grand Lodge of I l l i n o i s w i t h Pro. Alexander Hauilton B e l l , grand master of C a r l i n v i l l e , p r e s i d i n g . i n 1908.

The cost of the b u i l d i n g witnout-the elevator was t o be £50,000.00 but w i t h the elevator and changes suggested by the committee the cost of the b u i l d i n g was raised t o £60,000.00.

At the time of the l e t t i n g of the contract i t was necessary to i s sue a j o i n t mortgage, by the s:V2n owning bodies, f o r an issue of HO,000.00 i n bonds at 5% f o r a term of ten years, each of the sever, bodies bodies assuming r e s p o n s i b i l i t y f o r t h e i r share. Ccmp. Herman P i e r i k was apj appointed to look a f t e r the c o l l e c t i o n of pledges, to the payment of the ( p r i n c i p a l and i n t e r e s t . He succeeded i n p l a c i n g the whole issue w i t h the l o c a l banks.

Comp. P i e r i k devoted ten years to c o l l e c t i n g the outstanding pledges, c o l l e c t i n g from the bodies t h e i r shares and redeeming them at m a t u r i t y , a l l except £9,000.00. This was f i n a l l y cleared up twenty-seven years a f t e r commencement of the e n t e r p r i s e .

The b u i l d i n g was completed i n 1909 as f o l l o w s : Basement—dining room and kitchen and f i r e p r o o f v a u l t f o r records and two ante-rooms; F i r s t F l o o r — o f f i c e s , r e c r e a t i o n rooms and dar.ee or d r i l l h a l l ; Second F l o o r — S p r i n g f i e l d Chapter, S p r i n g f i e l d Council, Elwood Commandery and the Scottish B i t * J Third F l o o r — a large and small lodge room f o r the Lodges and Eastern Star Chapters.

V/ith the advent of the Consistory and co-orainate bodies w i t h i t s wealth of scenery and appurtences, i t was apparent t h a t the stage w i t h r o l l e r c u r t a i n s was inadequate. Accordingly a t r a n s f e r was made, the sym-b e l i e lodges and Eastern Star Chapters t a k i n g the second f l o o r and the h i r l j higher bodies t a k i n g the t h i r d f l o o r . The Consistory constructed a modern stage w i t h l i f t and the l a t e s t equipment. They also constructed a j g a l l e r y to enlarge the seating capacity. V.'ith the organization of Ansar Temple, A.A.O.Ii.M.S. i n 1914, i t secured quarters on the t h i r d f l o o r and w i t h the Consistory renovated the a t t i c i n t o a f o u r t h f l o o r I f o r dressing rooms and storage purposes. They also constructed a pent house so t h a t the elevator could run the f u l l f our s t o r i e s .

of the Granu Chapter. "The f i r s t reference to instruction i a r i t u a l was i n 1851, when Granu

"No work has ever been formally adopted as the work of the Grand Chapter or by the Gi-neral Grand Chapter; the work now in use through-bp. the committee apointed by the General Granu Chapter in 1659,but which was never f o r m a l l y sanctioned.

"Ha then sc i a i t was of the utmost importanoe that a degree of unifoi dty be secured ana to that end a committee of five was appointed to perfect a plan for a r i t u a l and report at the next annual yaanrinnrirTaif oonv i-lon. rh i committee members were James H.

At the annual session la 1868, the committee reported:

High Priest reported several suggestions made to him t h a t the Grand Chapter adopt the r i t u a l of the General Grand Chapter for the sake of Uniformity. His opinion was that uniformity i s a thing to be hoped for but * I greatly fear the idea ifi Utopian,' As the supply of r i t u a l s was nearly exhausted, i t was deceided to appoint a committee to consider the advisability of adopting the General Grand Chapter Kit u a l . The committee consisted of Jos •:. ... Upas, John y. I cars on, anc C i l b r t 1 .Barnard. In 18P9, the committee presented a long report which ended with the recommendation

The lecture in the sixth degree v/as f i r s t used in this book and the second lecture in the seventh degree was also inserted for the f i r s t time. The f i r s t part of the sojoumerSs story was added also, i t farrxxxix having been formerly part of the duty of the Captain of the Host. A short catechism for candidates was introduced in this work, being taken from the New Yoric r i t u a l . This after several years was discarded as unneeessary,"

"The f i r s t school of instruction was held in Chicago, Feb.9-10-11, 1905, by tee Grand Lecturers, A. L. Hamilton, Frank Hudson and E.K.Tumbull. A c r i t i c a l study of the r i t u a l , beginning with that year developed many small inconsistencies. As the years passed these i r r e g u l a r i t i e s became more glaring and in 1915, the Grand High Pr i e s t , f . K. Turnbull,r-portcd:

"Last year a committee v/as appointed to revise the r i t u a l and haruonize the numerous inaccuracies. There are so many small changes scattered through* the book that i t w i l l be d i f f i c u l t to interline the present one and I recomnend that a new edition be printed, the old ( one be called in and destroyed, and in order to give the Chapters the f u l l benefit of these changes and to enable oho officers to learn the work with as l i t t l e inconvenience as possible, I recomrenu that each Ch« Chapter be supplied with five copies."

"V.Tien the f i r s t r i t u a l was issued, only one copy v.as furnished t o caoh Chapter, hen the second r i t u a l was i x M m i adopted, three copies were furnished and tha t was the l i m i t u n t i l the adoption of the recommendation t o f u r n i s h f i v e as shown above.
