ROYAL ARCANUM.
The Royal Arcanum, originally organized in Boston, Massachusetts,
November 5, 1877, became identified with Flint in the organization of
Apollo council No. 27, on the 12th day of the same month. The
life of the local body has therefore been contemporary with that of the
parent order. The council was instituted in the lodge rooms on the third
floor of the Sutton building, with sixty-three members. It continued to
meet in its original lodge rooms until some time in 1878, when the use of
the Knights of Pythias rooms, located over the First National Bank, was
secured. The council moved later to Friendship Lodge hall, in the
McDermott block, in 1884. It is worthy of notice that two of the charter
members have held office ever since its organization, Frank Dullam and Dr.
Noah Bates. Apollo Council No. 27 has a membership of sixty-eight and the officers
are, regent, John Cranston; secretary, W. A. Blanchard; collector, John W.
Newell, and treasurer, Frank Dullam. |
