The Ninth New York heavy artillery: A history of its organization,” by Alfred Seelye Roe. page 447.http://books.google.com/books?id=ehFCAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA448&lpg=PA448&dq=%22humanity+Lodge%22+%22lyons%22&source=bl&ots=F3FODVVZqn&sig=1Zrv05BfOGTF2gAkUrm7H8lgBnQ&hl=en&ei=61FzS-GfFY3YNbPHpfEJ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10&ved=0CBsQ6AEwCTgK#v=onepage&q=%22humanity%20Lodge%22%20%22lyons%22&f=falseJoseph Welling.—The first colonel of the [9th NY Heavy Artillery] regiment was a resident of Lyons at the time of organization, actively engaged in the practice of law. It is extremely unfortunate that more specific data are not at hand concerning his early life, but diligent search in several directions has been absolutely fruitless. Seemingly, those who might were unwilling to impart information, and those whose dispositions were good had nothing to give. In an obituary notice appearing in a Lyons paper near the date of his death, it is stated that he came to Lyons from Clyde in the early fifties, and immediately became prominent in his profession. He was one of the prime movers in the resuscitation of Humanity Lodge of Free Masons, and was its first secretary. Later for eight terms he was the Master. As stated in the earlier pages of this volume, he had a very prominent part in the formation of the 138th, and was always a popular officer with the men. His age and long experience with men gave him an excellent presence, and it would seem that the active campaign of his regiment ought to have resulted in fame for the colonel. As we know he accompanied the regiment only to Belle Plain, and some recall seeing him and the lieutenant colonel going down to the boat which bore them to Washington. It was our last view of the graceful, pleasing officer, at least in regimentals. He returned to Lyons and to the practice of his profession, and very likely his leadership of the Wayne county bar was never seriously disputed. Later he went to Rochester, or at any rate opened an office there, and for a number of years was as successful as he had been in his Lyons practice. As age crept upon him he felt its weight, and giving up his practice both in Rochester and Lyons, he retired completely from his old associations, spending the later years of his life in Delaware, dying finally March 19, 1897, in a Philadelphia hospital. His age was given as seventy-six years, which would practically agree with that stated in the muster-in roll of 1862, where he was down as forty years old. Colonel Welling was an exceedingly well read man, and possessed a large and carefully studied library. As a member of the social circle, few men were more popular. He had a boundless source of wit and anecdote, making him the life of the place in which he might find himself. His wife and daughter who accompanied him to the camp near Fort Simmons won the thorough respect of all. The latter, now Mrs. Lane, resides with her widowed mother in Lyons. WELLING, JOSEPH.—Age, 40 years. Enrolled, 27 Aug 1862, at Auburn; mustered in as colonel, 138th Infantry, 27 Aug 1862 (which became the Ninth Artillery, 19 Dec 1863), to serve three years; discharged for disability, 21 May 1864; commissioned colonel, 10 Sep 1862, with rank from 27 Aug 1862. [resigned at City Point] http://www.dmna.state.ny.us/historic/reghist/civil/artillery/9thHeavyArty/9thHeavyArtyMain.htm The organization of this regiment was determined August 8, 1862, and Col. Joseph Welling received, August 12, 1862, authority to recruit the regiment in the, then, 25th Senatorial district of the State. September 29, 1862, this regiment was designated the 138th Regiment of Infantry. It was organized at Auburn, and there mustered in the service of the United States for three years, September 8 and 9, 1862. It was converted into an artillery regiment December 9, 1862, and designated, December 19th, the 9th Regiment of Artillery.

The first meeting held under the new Charter was on July 15, 1867. Over the years, many fundraising events were held which, in 1966, allowed the Lodge to purchase land on West Lake Road.

WARREN http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ny/county/ontario/bios/m.html Thomas Murray, Canadice, was born in Killeighy, County Down, Ireland, 3 May 1834, and came with his grandmother to Ontario county in 1844, on the sailing ship Gerrick, landing in New York after 24 days. They came to South Bristol, where he lived until the age of 17, then went to Bristol and married in 1853 Sarah, daughter of Samuel GRACEY, also a native of County Down. They had six children: Robert of Dakota; Edward, who married and lives in Bristol; Susan, wife of Dennis RIORDAN of Bristol; William, married and lives in Bristol; Frank, married and lives in Canadice Corners; and Eliza, wife of John SAVAGE of Richmond. In Sep 1862, Mr. MURRAY enlisted in Co. K, 148th N. Y. Vols., and was discharged in Aug 1865. He was in several engagements, the principal of which was at Cold Harbor, where he was wounded. After his recovery he was in detached service in Washington as ward-master and hospital steward in Finlay General Hospital. He was also detailed to take the census of the colored population in three counties in Virginia, and later in the engineer department as overseer under a civil engineer in the building of fortifications, part of the time having 380 contrabands under him. He was a member of the G. A. R., Hazen Post, No. 518, of Springwater. After the war he returned to Bristol and engaged in farming, coming to Canadice in 1882 and lived at the Corners, where he had a farm of sixteen acres, three of which are in hops. He was a Mason, and for five years had been master of Eagle Lodge No. 619, F&AM, of Honeoye. He was assessor eight years, and justice of the peace. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ny/county/ontario/bios/ca-cl.html History of Ontario Co, NY, Conover & Aldrich, pub 1893, pg 53 - 54 J Illustrated History of the State of Idaho George H. North Among the worthy citizens that New York has furnished to the state of Idaho is George H. North, the well known clothing merchant of Pocatello, whose enterprising, progressive methods give character to the business life of the city, and whose reputation in commercial circles is unassailable. He was born in Springwater, Livingston, NY, 14 Jul 1858, a son of C. S. and Elvira Thankful (Wetmore) North, who likewise were natives of the same county. The father successfully carried on farming there until his death, which occurred in the 58th year of his age, while his wife survived him. They were the parents of five children. George H. North, having obtained his preliminary education in the common school, supplemented it by a course in the Geneseo Western Seminary, in Syracuse, NY, where he was graduated with the class of 1876. He then worked on his father's farm for a time, after which he started westward and accepted a clerkship with his uncle, Orland North, in Evanston Spring, Wyoming. He spent two years in that place and then began business on his own account in Shoshone, Idaho. Subsequently he came to Pocatello and, as a member of the firm of North & Church, established his present business in 1890. That partnership was continued until 1 Jan 1895, after which Mr. North carried on operations alone until 1 Oct 1898, when he sold a half interest in the store to Richard Douglass and the firm of North & Douglass was formed. They had one of the finest stores in the town, splendidly equipped with everything in their line. They occupied a modern brick building 25 by 80 feet, their salesroom being on the first floor, while the basement was used as a storeroom. They carried a large and well selected stock of clothing and men's furnishing goods and shoes, and from the beginning the enterprise was a successful one, its patronage steadily increasing in volume and importance. On 1 Jul 1886, Mr. North was united in marriage to Miss Peronne Church, a native of Mankato, Minnesota, and they had one child, Carlie, who was born in Shoshone. Mr. North became a member of Eagle Lodge, No. 619, A. F&AM, in New York, in 1879, and later took the Royal Arch degrees. In his political views he is a Republican and keeps well informed on the issues of the day, but was never an aspirant for office, preferring to devote his time and energies to his business interests, in which he met with creditable and gratifying success. Indolence and idleness were utterly foreign to his nature, and his diligence, systematic methods and reliability secured to him prosperity. ------ Anson Van Deusen, b 28 Jan 1847; d 12 Feb 1878, in Wisconsin; m 9 Nov 1871, Maria Paul of East Bloomfield, NY, who d. 12 Feb 1873, at Canandaigua, NY, near where she is buried.
