Joseph Warren, physician and American Revolution Major General was a member of Lodge of St. Andrew, Boston. A Grand Master in Massachusetts, he died fighting at the Battle of Bunker Hill. His body was buried near the area where he died and remained there for 10 months until friends and family made an effort to find it. Searchers would never have identified his remains were it not for a silver dental crown that Brother Warren had. The crown was crafted and given to him by his good friend, American patriot and master silversmith, Brother Paul Revere.

Wasn't he a member of King Solomon's Lodge in Charlestown?
That is the lodge that erected the first Bunker Hill Monument to commemorate Brother Warren.
