On 15 February 1912, aged 64, John was initiated into Powney Lodge No 3099, at the Masonic Hall at Ashley Road, Lymington, alongside 36-year old clerk, Theodore Charles.
Following his initiation, Bro. Stacpole presented to the lodge a gavel made from stone quarried from King Solomon's Mines in Palestine together with a stone from the same quarries engraved with a square and compasses. These are still in the possession of the Lodge.
John was passed to the second degree on 16 May, and raised to the degree of a Master Mason on 18 July 1912.
