Luke A. Lockwood (1833-1905), first Master of Acacia Lodge 85 at Greenwich, Connecticut, was a Masonic author and Grand Master of Connecticut in 1872. In 1905, his Lodge arranged a gala celebration of his 50-years of Masonry by purchasing a $1,000 silver service (worth $25,000 in today's dollars) to give him on that occasion. MWB Lockwood never received the gift, dying unexpectedly just prior to the ceremony.
