Excerpt from History of Saint John's Lodge of Boston, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as Shown in the Records of the First Lodge, the Second Lodge, the Third Lodge, the Rising Sun Lodge, the Masters Lodge, St. John's Lodge, Most Worshipful Grand Lodge The idea of publishing a history of St. John's Lodge had its origin in connection with the celebration of the 175th anniversary of its institution. Right Worshipful Harvey N. Shepard, Worshipful Brothers James T. Wetherald, William S. Heath, Leonard G. Roberts and John C. Hurll were appointed to act in conjunction with the Finance Committee in carrying out the project. The Committee employed Brother Henry May to search the early Masonic records and he has done this work with faith ful zeal, and the Lodge is indebted to him for its ability now to make known its long and honorable history. The records of the Lodge itself, and of the other lodges which were its early Off-shoots and subsequently again united with it, and those of the Grand Lodge, as well as the archives, have been studied with care, they being the history of Free Masonry not only in Boston and in New England, but in North America. The Provincial Grand Lodge, known as Saint John's Grand Lodge, was organized by Henry Price July 30, 1733, but its records from January 27, 1775, to February 17, 1787, are missing.
