Orion Lodge No. 353
F. & A. M., Kingsville



In 1862 the Grand Master reported receipt of a petition for a dispensation, too late for his action, however the Grand Lodge decided not to grant a Dispensation, as there were already seven lodges in Ashtabula County and refunded the fee of $50.00.

However, at the Grand Lodge session in 1865, a charter was issued and the number 353 assigned to Orion Lodge.

The hall was destroyed by fired February 15, 1867, a Dispensation was issued by the M.W. Grand Master, Thomas Sparrow, authorizing the loege to meet in the hall of Evergreen Lodge, No. 222, at Conneaut. All the records of the lodge were lost in the fire, but the list of Past Masters shown is accurate.
