Brief Oasis Lodge #52 History

During the year 1956, a group of active Freemasons had a vision and contemplated the necessity for another Masonic lodge in the city of Tucson, Arizona. 22 brothers from Tucson Lodge #4, Epes Randolph Lodge #32, Adobe Lodge #41, and Aaron Lodge #49, came together and submitted a request to the Most Worshipful Grand Master for a dispensation to create a new Masonic Lodge for this growing and thriving city. The brothers consisted of: Walter Burrows, Alva Stultz, Frederick Mey, Robert Hoegner, Thomas Russell, Gilbert Beach, Clayton Gibbons, William Elliot, Jimmie Pulley, Arthur Myers, James Corbett Jr. (Mayor of Tucson 1967–1971), Robert Miller, Cecil Polley, Frederick Shellidy, Joseph Capriota, Berkley Beach, Ralph Meyer, Harry Hancock, William Walker, Martin Solot, Joe Wong, and Herbert Burrows.

The Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Conrad H. Baldwin, on determining the submission to be in proper form, granted a dispensation. This resulted in Brothers Walter Burrows as the first Worshipful Master, Alva Stultz as Senior Warden, and Frederick Mey as Junior Warden. At the Grand Lodge Communication in Winslow, Arizona, on April 22, 1957, a Charter was signed by the Most Worshipful Grand Master and Very Worshipful Grand Secretary and issued to Oasis Lodge #52.

As of 2026, Oasis Lodge #52 has been laboring for 69 years. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of a great number of worthy brothers, Oasis Lodge #52 has remained a proud and very progressive lodge setting an example for others to emulate. May the lodge continue to shine as a beacon of Freemasonry and serve the Craft in accordance with its proud saying...

...“The Place To Be for Masonry!”
