The designation of each local organization is "parlor," indicating its refined and social character. The order celebrates an- nually the anniversary of California's admis- sion into the Union.

CHAPTER XXIX

ASSOCIATIONS AND CLUBS

Sacramento Pioneers

T HE PIONEERS of Sacramento early rec- ognized the desirability of an association of the first comers to the Coast. January. 25, 1854, about seventy persons met at Jones' Hotel on J Street, between Front and Second, for the purpose of organizing a pioneer asso- ciation in Sacramento. Joseph W. Winans was elected chairman, and Samuel Colville, secre- tary, of the meeting. A committee was ap- pointed, consisting of R. P. Johnson, Samuel Colville, J. W. Winans and R. M. Folger, which reported on the 27th of January a con- stitution. It was adopted and, with some alterations made later, is the law which now governs the body. The association met Feb- ruary 6, 1854, for the purpose of electing officers, to serve until September 9, 1854. The following were elected: Joseph W. Winans, president ; J. B. Starr, J. N. Nevett, D. J. Lisle, Richard Rust, J. B. Mitchell and William M. Carpenter, vice-presidents ; Samuel Colville, recording secretary ; N. A. H. Ball, correspond- ing secretary ; B. F. Hastings, treasurer ; H. E. Robinson, Volney Spalding, C. C. Sackett, R. P. Johnson, W. C. Waters, James Haworth, and George Rowland, directors.

The charter members of the association were as follows, although a number of those at the first meeting signed their names later in the year, but too late to be charter members, the roll having closed in January :

James Anthony, James Alexander, H. B. Bonnell, E. J. Barroll, Frank Bush, Jr., Gor- don Backus, J. B. Blanchard, Charles H. Brad- ford, M. D. Corse, George Cadwalader, Ed- ward Crowell, John H. Carroll, Samuel Col- ville, William Chesley, James H. Culver, John L. Craig, George Chedwick, Robert M. Folger, Gilbert Griswold, Justin Gates, Jr., John G. Hyer, James Haworth, J. L. Howard, C. W. Hoyt, W. P. Henry, H. W. Harkness, C. C. Hayden, James C. Hedenburg, Thomas H.

Jackson, E. B. Kenyon, W. F. Kennedy, Ed- ward McCarty, C. Morrill, James B. Mitchell, Jesse Moore, G. W. Mann, M. K. Murphy, Samuel J. May, David Oliver, H. H. O'Calla- han, Gregory J. Phelan, Henry E. Robinson. S. B. Robbins, George Rowland, Charles Smith, Jacob S. Shaber, A. C. Sweetser, Charles S. Sackett, Charles H. Shaw, James B. Starr, John Tinginan, Joseph W. Winans, Wil- liam Wolfersburger, John Wood, Jonathan Williams, J. C. Zabriskie, R. P. Johnson, N. A. H. Ball, B. F. Hastings, Volney Spalding, J. N. Nevett, D. J. Lisle, Richard Rust, J. H. Culver, A. C. Latson, A. C. Morse, J. F. Morse, Charles A. Swift.

The present officers of the association are: George Putnam, president; and J. G. Patter- son, vice-president and secretary.

In order to explain this list, it will be neces- sary to recite the series of events which led to the adoption of a new constitution and the admission of a younger set of members. The original constitution had been amended a nim- ber of times, so that confusion as to its pro- visions arose. In the meantime the roll had been steadily growing less, as the members passed away. An association known as the Sons and Daughters of the Sacramento Soci- ety of California Pioneers had been forined in 1891, the first officers being: William M. Sims, president ; Leila J. Lindley, vice-president : Annie Luther, secretary; Matie Johnston, treasurer ; P. C. Farnsworth, marshal ; direc- tors, Gussie Carroll, Minnie Richardson, Leila J. Lindley, Florence McKune, W. E. Osborn, William M. Sims, C. E. Mack, Jr., W. A. Gett. Jr., and H. M. LaRue, Jr. The society incor- porated July 28, 1891.
