James A. Tirrell
Master’s Message
To the Brothers and Friends of
Adelphi Momauguin Lodge No. 63,
As everyone should notice our
trestleboard has been reinvented
and I hope you all like it. We have
taken the suggestions of many
brothers to make this new
trestleboard, and will try to continue
the excellence and great work of Bro. Carl Ek, who has
been creating the trestleboard for many years.
This year will be both an exciting and nerve-wracking
year for me, however it should be an enjoyable year for the
craft. I promise as Worshipful Master, that each stated
communication will have an event or presentation. I feel
that each lodge meeting should have something exciting to
look forward to.
I want to thank everyone who has supported, pushed
and made sure that I become a worthy brother. Without
the help, guidance and motivation from many different
people I would not be the man that I am today. Hopefully,
I won’t let you down. Thank you for this opportunity.
Your Worshipful Master,
James A. Tirrell
"Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort."
— Franklin D. Roosevelt, American President and Freemason

President’s Message
President
Dear Brothers,
Mark Osenko
203-281-6183      As I contemplate on what to write as my very first
840 Hartford Turnpike Trestleboard message, I find myself thinking about the shoes I have to
Hamden, CT 06517 fill. Therefore, I would like to extend my appreciation and gratitude to
James Tirrell as Fellowcraft President; he has done an excellent job
Vice President over the last two years, and I can only hope to follow in his footsteps. I
Wayne G. Bailey would also like to thank the lodge for giving me the opportunity to serve you as the incoming
President of the Fellowcraft Club. I can sincerely say that I will put forth 100% as President,
Treasurer
but with that said, I also urge you to remember that the Fellowcraft Club is only strong as the
Thomas M. Hardy
members who attend its meetings and events. I realize that many of you are busy, I am guilty
Secretary of being too busy to attend many of the meetings and events (except for card nights).
Daniel W. Hawthorne HOWEVER! The New Year is upon us, and perhaps one of your New Year's Resolutions this
203-623-5784 year can be to try to attend more meetings and events. That is why I personally challenge
20 Busher Lane every brother in the lodge to find time to attend ONE Fellowcraft Club meeting and ONE
Hamden, CT 06518 Fellowcraft Club event. In closing, I would just like to wish the lodge a wonderful year, and stay
tuned for more information about upcoming Fellowcraft Club events.
 

Fraternally Yours,
Mark Osenko

President’s Message President
Thomas M. Hardy
Dear Brothers,
203-623-0655
 Hopefully, everyone has had a safe and happy holiday season. 20 Busher Lane
My, how the time flies. The TBA recently removed all Hamden, CT 06518
paraphernalia from the storage shed that we were renting in order
to save money. We will now buy a shed to store what is left, in order Vice President
to save approximately $2500 a year. Our old chairs went to a church and elder lady who William G. Demetriades
recently lost all her furniture due to a flood in her house. We still do have some items that
we would like to lend. In particular if anyone knows of a lodge in need of an organ, Treasurer
please let us know. This must go to a lodge and not a Church as it was given to us as a gift. Wayne G. Bailey
I hope that everyone will have a happy new year!
  Secretary
Fraternally Yours, Daniel W. Hawthorne

A Blast from the Past.... (Electronic Version Only)

In June 1897, Adelphi Lodge No. 63 moved from

King’s Tavern to a new hall, constructed by Bro.
Richard Tibbals located about two city blocks
away at 103 Grand Avenue. The building was
called the Tibbals Building and the Masonic lodge
room within was consecrated "Wadsworth Hall.”

During the celebration of Adelphi

Lodge’s Centennial in 1923, an out-door
Master Mason degree was held in a
large tent on the property of Worshipful
Brother William G. Newton.

In May 1923, the property at 126

Grand Avenue being owned by
the Quinn Family became
available and was purchased by
the Fair Haven Temple
Association. This building was
purchased for $17,000. This was
Adelphi Lodge’s home from 1926
until 1994.
