GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLORADO
On Christmas Day, 1886, Crand Master Branch issued a dispensation to 14 brethren at Glenwood Springs in Garfield County, Colorado, to open and form a lodge to be known as Glenwood Lodge U. D. with Brothers William Bradt as Worshipful Master; Henry J. Wilterding, Senior Warden; and Walter L. Dorland, Junior Warden. Spar Lodge No. 60 of Aspen recommended their petition. Grand Master Branch stated that he had issued the dispensation only after careful consideration and then feeling it was for the good of the Fraternity.
The Committee on Returns and Work reported favorably on Glenwood Lodge U. D. recommending one change in the By-laws as it deprived a member of his rights without trial. The Lodge held regular meetings, initiated 11, passed 8 and raised 8, and records were correctly kept. The Lodge was recommended to be chartered Glenwood Lodge No. 66 with William H. Bradt, Worshipful Master; Henry H. Crawford, Senior Warden; and Walter L: Dorland, Junior Warden.
Grand Master Kimball issued a commission on September 21, 1887 to Worshipful Brother J. E. Freeman to constitute Glenwood Lodge No. 65 and install its officers.
