B. Downman, Junior Warden; and the said dispensation being returned, on motion,
Resolved, That a charter do issue, for the permanent establishment of said Lodge in Lancaster county, by the name of the Lancaster Union Lodge, No. 88, appointing the same persons officers thereof, who are named in the said dispensation.
1824 Proceedings: Listed as dormant.
1825 Proceedings: Resolved, For reasons appearing to the Grand Lodge, that the jewels and floor cloth of Lancaster Union Lodge, No. 88, which are now in the possession of the Grand Lodge, be and the same are hereby loaned to Farnham Humanity Lodge, No. 140, but to be subject the future call of the Grand Lodge.
1846 Proceedings: A Petition was received from sundry brethren residing at and near Lancaster Courthouse, praying for a Dispensation to open a new Lodge at that place, and naming Wor. William Brent, as Master, E. G. Sherman, Senior Warden, and John B. Barr, Junior Warden.
Whereupon, Resolved, That a Dispensation be issued to authorise the opening a Lodge at Lancaster Courthouse, by the name of Warren, and appointing the officers named.
1847 Proceedings: Whereas a dispensation was issued to authorize the opening of a Lodge at Lancaster Courthouse, by the name, title and designation of "Warren Lodge, No. 88", and appointing Wor. William Brent, Master, E. G. Sherman, Sr. Warden, and John B. Ball, Jr. Warden; and said dispensation being returned, together with the necessary documents,
Resolved, That a charter do issue for the permanent establishment of said Lodge, by the name, title and designation of "Lancaster Union Lodge, No. 88", and appointing the officers named in the dispensation, upon the payment of twenty dollars in full of all arrearages, including the Grand Secretary's fee.
Editor: This effort results in Lancaster Union Lodge being revived, instead of this new Lodge, "Warren", being chartered. The Lodge was listed as "Warren Lodge No. 88" while under dispensation, but the charter calls them "Lancaster Union Lodge, No. 88".
