Lodge No. 8 was organized in Bay City, April 25, 1888, and received its charter on July 12th of the same year. Its first officers were as follows: A. McMilan, exalted ruler; L. B.

Wright, treasurer; William Merithew, tyler; John Cunningham, inner guard; James Antisdel, esquire; D. Alexander, chaplain; P. O. Hudson, organist. In June 1903, the lodge purchased the Eddy Block on Center avenue for $25,000 and remodeled it at a cost of $8,000. The furnishing cost another $6,000. The second floor is used as a club room and the third floor for lodge rooms. This is said to be as fine a property as is owned by the order in the United States. The present officers are: W. J. Asman, exalted rule; D. T. Cutting, esteemed leading knight; T. C. Hughes, esteemed loyal knight; L. G. Beckwith, esteemed lecturing knight; C. L. Fox, secretary; W. J. Daunt, inner guard; F. E.
