No. There is no credible evidence that Charles Taze Russell, first President of the Jehovah's Witnesses Watchtower Society, was a mason.
Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation with an estimated membership of approximately five million. Freemasonry is neither a religion nor a substitute for one (its members may or may not believe in a "Supreme Being") and due to its somewhat "secret" nature, a number of prominent individuals have been linked to freemasonary from Sir Francis Bacon to President Obama. Russell is not mentioned in any Masonic reference works, no Freemason society (lodge) has identified him as a member and in a public address given by Russell in San Francisco, in 1913 he stated catagorically, ""I have never been a mason."
In short, the answer is an emphatic "no". In June 1913, Charles Taze Russell gave a public sermon in a Masonic Hall in San Francisco, CA. In that speech, Russell stated "Although I have never been a Mason..." . Russell also characterized Freemasonry as incompatible with his religious faith in the June 1895 issue of "Zion's Watch Tower", page 143.
