BIOGRAPHY: History of Ryegate, Vermont, Edward Miller and Frederic P. Wells, The Caledonian Co., St. Johnsbury VT 1913 Rev. Soloman Sias, a Methodist minister of considerable note, whose health had become impaired by his labors, had retired to Danville, which had been his early home, for rest and recovery. Mr. Sias was a Mason of high degree, and was commander of the Knights Templars at the reception of Lafayette in Boston in 1825. On retiring to Danville, where he had before been held in honor, he found himself made the target of abuse. He was asked to preach a funeral sermon, but the officials of the local Methodist church would not allow him to enter the meeting-house, and the funeral services were held on the common in the open air. He was summoned before the Methodist Conference and was ordered to renounce Masonry or be expelled. He conceded so much as to promise to abstain from attendance at the lodge.
