History
On October 7, 1903, a charter was granted to Doric Lodge No. 30 in Millville, by Grand Master Harry J. Guthrie, naming Edward F. Reynolds, Worshipful Master, John W. James, Senior Warden, and George L. Barnett, Junior Warden.
In 1910, James Hocker served as Senior Grand Warden, the first of six members of Doric Lodge, who were destined to be elected to office in the Grand Lodge of Delaware. This occurred during the formative period in the establishment of the George Washington Masonic National Memorial in Alexandria, Virginia.
He was followed by William B. Derrickson, who was elected Junior Grand Warden I 1918, another formative period in Masonic History since it marked the establishment of the Masonic Service Association, which has continued to dispense Masonic charity throughout our nation in times of peace as well as war.
In 1945, Urah W. Long was elected to serve as the first Grand Master from Doric Lodge. During his year he was successful in bringing to fruition the “Sussex Cottage”. This was a much-needed addition to our Masonic Home. Under his guidance and inspiration, the Lodges of Sussex County launched a drive, which raised over $10,000 for this purpose.
Arthur R. Hudson was elected Senior Grand Warden in 1952, the year which marked the 200th anniversary of the initiation of Brother George Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia. It was also the year that President and Past Grand Master Harry S. Truman presented each Grand Lodge with a stone, bearing a Masonic Mark, from the White House.
In 1958, Elias H. Tingle was elected Senior Grand Warden during which time cornerstone ceremonies were conducted for Wesley College’s new dormitory and classroom, as well as, Milford’s new library. It was also during this period that the newly added Lodge room to the Newport Masonic Temple was dedicated.
Finally in 1975, Hugh A. Stephens was elected Junior Grand Warden. This year marked the Bicentennial of our country’s independence as well as the 170th anniversary of the founding of the Grand Lodge of Delaware, all of which were observed with appropriate celebrations.
For over a century now the Brothers of Doric Lodge No. 30 have labored to keep the light of Freemasonry shining bright in Millville.
