=Benjamin Ball (1783-1859) - Tenth Master of Corinthian Lodge= ==Overview== Brother Benjamin Ball, born on October 16, 1783, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, served as the tenth Master of Corinthian Lodge. His long and active involvement with the Lodge spanned several years, as he held the Master’s position in 1816, 1817, 1818, 1822, and 1823. Ball's contributions extended beyond the Lodge to other Masonic bodies, where he became a highly respected member. ==Early Masonic Career== Ball was initiated into Corinthian Lodge on January 14, 1805, and admitted to full membership on July 12, 1813. He began his leadership roles as Junior Warden in 1814 and 1815 before being elected Master. His dedication to Masonry led him to pursue advanced degrees, receiving the Royal Arch Degrees in St. John's Royal Arch Chapter of Groton in 1817 and the Council Degrees in Lowell. ==Extended Masonic Involvement== In addition to his roles within Corinthian Lodge, Ball became an active member of various Masonic bodies in Lowell. He joined "Mount Horeb" Royal Arch Chapter, "Ahasuerus" Council, and "Pilgrim Encampment," which expanded his Masonic service and connections within the fraternity. ==Personal and Professional Life== Ball spent approximately forty-five years of his life in Concord, Massachusetts. In 1820, he traveled to New Orleans, where he engaged in the provision business. The following year, he went to Jamaica in the West Indies to manage the affairs of a Massachusetts citizen who had passed away there. In his later years, Ball relocated to Lowell, Massachusetts. ==Legacy== Benjamin Ball’s extensive Masonic service and leadership within Corinthian Lodge have left a lasting legacy. His years of dedicated involvement and the respect he garnered in various Masonic organizations reflect a life committed to the principles and values of Freemasonry.
