Notes: From its website, "Waverly Lodge No. 51 Free and Accepted Masons was organized April 25, 1854 under the dispensation of Grand Master Henry L. Palmer and was officially Chartered June 14, 1854. This was only nine years after the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin was formed and 137 years after the Grand Lodge of England was formed in 1717.  Lodges in Wisconsin at this time were charted as Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, however this is no longer the case today.  As Waverly still maintains its original charter from that period, it is something of an oddity in modern times under the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin, as most other lodges from this time have received new charters as they consolidated operations with other lodges."
