Myrtle Chapter No. 33
Instituted October 18, 1892
Constituted April 26, 1893
Holliston
At the original meeting officers were elected and it was voted to call the Chapter Myrtle. On December 28, 1898, the Chapter lost about all their property by fire. A day or two afterwards the gavel belonging to the Chapter was found in the ruins in perfect condition. this gavel came from a Masonic Lodge in a western state that had been burned out. As a method of raising money the gavel had been put up for sale. Mount Hollis Lodge in Holliston bought and presented it to this Chapter. It is said to be made of myrtle wood, a tree found in the West.
