CIRCLE LODGE #590, F. & A. M.
MADISON, MISSISSIPPI

UNDER DISPENSATION: April 24, 1923
CHARTERED: February 20, 1924
DEFUNCT: January 21, 1938

HISTORY

• Circle Lodge met in a building on Main Street at the north end of Jones Street. The building still exists.

• On April 24th, 1923, I granted dispensation to organize a Lodge U. D. at Madison Station, to be known as Circle Lodge.
  From Grand Masters 1924 address to Grand Lodge

• The hereinafter named Lodges failed and neglected to make reports and pay dues as required by Masonic Law. This information being transmitted to me, by several communications, I urged the Lodges to comply with the By Laws. But the continued neglect and failure to observe these requirements necessitated the arrest of the following charters: Circle Lodge, No. 590, on January 21, 1938, and McLaurin Lodge, No. 449, on January 25, 1938.
  From Grand Lodge report for 1938
