Acacia Lodge stemmed from the growing strength of its mother lodge, Boksburg No 2480. It met in its own premises in Boksburg North and made generally steady progress over the years. Its members have included many brethren who have served the Lodge and District well, but none is remembered with greater affection than W Bro Hubert Wright, Secretary of the Lodge for many years. Bro Hubert was a ‘character’ who brought something unique into his Masonry. His pleasant antics and jokes at the festive board went far to promote good cheer and he especially loved children, giving them puppet shows and leading the fun at the Lodge’s Christmas parties. In later years he had difficulty in reading the minutes clearly, and suffered great pain and discomfort in his legs, but this did not stop him attending lodge, slippers and all.
