Abstract
Badger Lodge No. 345 of the Free & Accepted Masons lodge was formed in 1928 out of Lodge No. 45, as its parent lodge was becoming so large. Eventually as membership in Masonic and fraternal lodges declined nationally and locally, Badger Lodge ceased and its members became part of Frontier Lodge, No. 45 again.
