CHARITABLE AND BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATIONS.

NOTE .- It is to be regretted that all the lodges in the county did not respond to the inquiry forwarded. Had they done so an accurate statement of the benefits paid since organization could have been published ; as it is, those reporting, eighteen lodges, have paid out $168,- 364.94. The five not reporting are estimated at $34,000, making tls amount thus voted to the sick and disabled members of the subordinate lodges $202,304.94. There are eight encampments in this county. The two reporting aggregate $27,669. It is fair to assume that the remain ing six paid at least $22,331, or $50,000 in this branch of this order Therefore, more than a quarter of a million dollars have been distributed in this way by this order alone.

The years 1880 and 1881 witnessed a large increase in the membership of the Norristown lodges. The conferring of degrees frequently detaining the mem- bers in their lodges until a late hour, it was deter- mined to institute a Degree Lodge, and Harmony Degree Lodge, No .- , was instituted, with Edwin P. Gresh as Degree Master. The succeeding session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge lessening the degrees to three, and requiring all business to be transacted in the third degree, seemed to anticipate the work of a Degree Lodge and the same reason for it not existing, the charter was surrendered.

An instance of the methods used against members of an Odd-Fellows' lodge came accidentally to the at- tention of the writer during the past summer. Jere- miah Weber, a member of a city lodge, was a tenant of Eli P. MeGlathery, in Whitpain township. Mr. Weber was taken sick during the fall of 1844, and reported himself to his lodge. A committee waited on him to ascertain the nature of the illness and pay him his benefits. Mr. MeGlathery, hearing of it although on the best of terms with his tenant' never again called on him, and in due time Mr. Weber received notice to quit. Many such inci- dents doubtless happened, for the general feeling that then existed was so great against all fraterni- ties that it is a marvel that murders were not con- mitted.

Colored Odd-Fellows. - The Colored Odd-Fel- lows, who claim to be a part of the Manchester Unity of Odd-Fellows, of England, have a lodge in the borough of Norristown. When the colored men were debarred membership in the American fraternity they sent to England five persons, who were there made Odd-Fellows, and returned to this country with the full authority to institute a lodge and grant charters. Thus were the Colored Odd-Fellows' lodges commenced in Philadelphia, and this is the foundation of the many lodges now in existence in this country.

On the 15th day of May, 1851, five persons, residents of Norristown, joined Good Samaritan Lodge, of Philadelphia. They immediately made application for a charter, which was granted, and Good Will Lodge, No. 1025, Grand United Order of Odd-Fel- lows, was instituted June 3, 1851. John Augusta was elected Noble Father; Joseph Mann, Noble Grand; Samuel Amos, Vice-Grand; Allen Blau, Secretary and Thomas Bru ff, Treasurer. Thomas Bruff has filled the position of treasurer from institution to date, and he

and John H. Williams are the only charter members living.

Improved Order of Red Men. - The Improved Order of Red Men is a fraternal and benevolent organization, based upon the customs and antiquities of the North American Indians. It originated as a patriotic association among the volunteers who garri- soned Fort Mifflin in 1813.

It is distinctly different in every detail from other fraternal organizations, being original in conception and peculiarly American in character and tendency, without being proscriptive. A good moral character, sound in mind and body and a belief in the "Great Spirit in whose hands all power doth exist " are its only prerequisites for membership.

John Fry, of the borough of Norristown, visited Baltimore during the winter of 1845-46. While there he made the acquaintance of gentlemen who belonged to the Society of Red MIen. On his return he in- duced Charles L. Cornman, Robert K. Ward, Samnel Jamison, A. S. Powel, John Shaner and David Dice to co-operate with him, and they made application to the Great Council of the United States for a charter. The Tribe Tecumseh, No. 1, was instituted June 14, 1846, in the Masonic lodge-room, at the corner of Lafayette and Swede Streets, Norris- town, and is the first one organized in Pennsylvania. The officers who instituted this tribe proceeded at once to Lancaster, where the second tribe was insti- tnted, and from there to Philadelphia, where Lenni Lenape Tribe, No. 3, was organized.

The membership of Tecumseh rose to about sixty, and after a couple of removals fitted up handsome rooms on Main Street. The walls were decorated with scenes from the " Lady of the Lake," and every- thing represented the primitive manners of the Indians. But incompetent officers created dissatis- faction, and after a long struggle the tribe was com- pelled to yield, and the pioneer organization in the State surrendered its charter. This was in 1853. Thns matters remained until October 31, 1869, when some of the members of old Tecumseh and twenty- seven of Beaver Tribe recalled the charter, and Tecumsch Tribe, No. 1, was reinstituted, and is now one of the best beneficial organizations in the county.

Beaver Tribe, No. 62, was instituted at Norristown ; for several years after its institution its membership was recruited almost entirely from the rolling-mills, and the adoptions were carried on in a very rough manner. But as time rolled on these men allowed themselves to be suspended for non-payment of dues, and then the tribe took front rank in the secret societies of the town. At present it has an invested fund of about six thousand dollars and a membership exceeding two hundred and fifty. The present officers are: Sachem, Ephraim F. Slough; Chief of Records, C. H. Fisher ; and Treasurer, Charles H. Bard.

Knights of Pythias .- This order has made a won- | a name beloved by bond and free, and second to none derful growth since its organization, twenty years ago.

The first camp in this county was Camp No. 6, of Norristown, chartered March 29, 1850. It had a somewhat precarious existence for a few years, resulting in the surrender of its charter. The camp was revived April 11, 1856, grew and flourished

Patriotic Order Sons of America.1-The Patriotic | Order Sons of America was organized in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., in the year 1847, under the name of the Junior Sons of America. The order prospered and attained a degree of popularity that was unpre- cedented. The breaking out of the Civil war brought disorganization into the order, for by the principles of the Patriotic Sons of America, and in obedience to them, the members rushed to the front of battle to save the flag that they had pledged themselves to honor. National American pride and glory are the cherished sentiments of the Patriotic Order Sons of America. "God, our country and our order," is the consecrated motto under whose inspiration the Patri- otic Order Sons of America has been laboring to per- petuate freedom's holy cause, and preserve the temple of American liberty, built on the broad foundation of universal emancipation, and sealed by the precious blood of our forefathers.

until, as stated before, the late war for the preservation of the Union transferred the members from the camp fraternal to the camp of war.

Camp No. 33, of Norristown, was instituted June 15, 1855, and survived until 1876, when, from serious financial embarrassment, it, together with Camp No. 6, disbanded. Montgomery County has at present teu camps, located as follows, with a membership of seven hundred :

Washington Camp, No. 33, at West Point; Wash- ington Camp, No. 53, at Cold Point; Washington Camp, No. 92, at Pottstown ; Washington Camp, No. 114, at Norristown ; Washington Camp, No. 120, at Lansdale; Washington Camp, No. 12], at Consho- hocken ; Washington Camp, No. 200, at Hatboro' ; Washington Camp, No. 215, at Ambler ; Washington Camp, No. 224, at Jarrettown; Washington Camp, No. 267, at Collegeville.

There are three degrees in the Patriotic Order Sons of America,-the Red, the White and the Blue. The first two admit into the camp and the coun-

cil; the third, the highest, admits into the com- mandery. The commandery is distinct from the camp and the council, but can be reached only through them. Each district is limited to one com- mandery. This county has Montgomery Commandery, located at Conshohocken, and constituted June 8, 1875. The present Distriet President, the highest local officer of Montgomery County, is A. D. Fetterolf, of Camp 267, Collegeville.

The name Patriotic Order Sons of America was adopted in 1866 at a State convention held in Miners- ville, Pa. The form of government in the order was radically changed, the original name was abolished and the surviving members of Camp No. 6 and those of ten other camps were constituted the first State Camp of Pennsylvania, Patriotic Order Sons of America. This order is rapidly growing in strength and reputation, and in its advance confirms its lofty mission and sacred purpose, leaving to posterity a bright record of which every freeman may well feel proud.

Brotherhood of the Union (H. F.) .- This is a secret fraternal and beneficial organization and pos- sesses much merit. Norris Circle, No. 111, was insti- tuted October 24, 1874, in Norristown, with eight Order of United American Mechanics. - This order was founded in Philadelphia in 1845, and soon thereafter introduced in this county, Montgomery Council, at Kulpsville, being the eighteenth instituted. American Star Council, No. 53, at Bryn Mawr, was instituted June 26, 1847; Union Council, No. 102, May 26, 1849, at Norristown ; and Manatawny Coun- cil, No. 240, August 6, 1870, at Pottstown. There is also a council at Limerick Square,-Limerick, No. 278. The entire membership in this county is about four hundred. charter members. It immediately grew to a mem- bership of over two hundred, and now has about one hundred and thirty. Since organization over two thousand dollars have been expended in benefits to the members. There are three other eireles in exist- enee in the county,-Kenderton, No. 62, at Cold Point, Joseph W. Coulston, Scroll-Keeper; Good Intent, No. 75, at Lansdale, John Steever, Seroll- Keeper; and Schwenksville, No. 117, at Schwenksville, Enos Schwenk, Scroll-Keeper. There are three hun- dred and fifty members in the county. The present officers are John K. Stong, C. W .; Wm. Hart, C. ...; John MeAfee, C. F .; Wm. Rylands, Treas .; John L. , and orphans, $269.51 ; and in other charities, $584.02,- Weber, Fin. Sec .; and William H. Wolper, Scroll- Keeper.

Jerome B. Hendricks, the Chief Washington of the State organization during the year 1881, was a member of this circle, and died while filling this position.

Ancient Order of Good-Fellows. - The Ancient Order of Good-Fellows was transplanted from the city of Philadelphia May 1, 1869, when Buena Vista Lodge, No. 16, was organized. This lodge has been extraordinarily successful, the membership now reaching one hundred and seventy, with assets valued at upwards of three thousand dollars. The lodge has paid out in benefits the sum of $10,316.66, as follows: Weekly benefits, $9246.66; funeral benefits, $1070.

Knights of Friendship. - The order Knights of Friendship is a fraternal organization of great merit. It was founded by Dr. M. G. Kerr, of Philadelphia, formerly of Norristown ; and, by the aid of his friends, Consonance Chamber, No. 3, was instituted in Norris- town May 9, 1868. The chamber has at times

numbered upwards of two hundred, and at other times only a faithful few have maintained the organi- Ization. About 1872 a change in the by-laws pro- viding for benefits was adopted. This displeased a great number, and many suspensions in the next few years took place. Subsequently the beneficial feature was defeated, and since then a large increase in the membership has taken place, the number now being upwards of two hundred. The present officers are : Sir Knight Marshal, Geo. F. Meredith ; Secretary, Daniel F. Quillman; and Treasurer, John J. Corson.

Black Knights of Malta. - The Black Knights of Malta were introduced in Norristown by the insti- tntion of Montgomery Lodge, No. 51, August 27, 1884. The order is claimed to have been instituted in the Holy Land during the Crusades, in A.D. 1048, and is a beneficial and religious order, with a military tendeney. It is entirely an independent organization, having no affiliation whatever with any other order. The officers are James A. Duffy, Sir Knight Com- mander; David A. Moyer, Generalissimo; Joseph Cameron, Captain-General; Allen Martin, Jr., Prel- ate; Chester L. Bertolette, Recorder; William Chantry, Treasurer; and Samuel R. Fisher, Registrar.

Union Council has paid for sick benefits, $13,089.10; for funeral benefits, $1810; for relief of widows or making a total of $15,752.63. The present ofheers are: Councilor, Albert J. Henning ; Secretary, William S. Seany, and Treasurer, Anthony Richardson.

American Star Council has paid $2121.45 for benefits. The present officers are: Couneilor, Edgar C. Humphreys; Secretary, Charles W. Scott and Treasurer, Jas. T. Mcclellan.

Manatawny Council has paid in benefits, 86100. Its present officers are: Councilor, Bion Cofrode; Secretary, M. S. Lessig; and Treasurer, Samuel B. Roeller.

Junior Order of American Mechanics. - This order has a council at Evansburg, this county. The principles of the Seniors and Juniors are much the same, the last-named admitting to membership at the age of eighteen years. The council at Evansburg is flourishing.

American Protestant Association .- This organi- zation is a beneficial one, the membership coming generally from the Protestant Irish families. There are two lodges in the county,-Conshohocken Lodge,

496

HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

No. 41, being instituted November 23, 1853, one day before Friendship Lodge, No. 39, of Norristown. Almost the entire membership of the last-named lodge having enlisted in the late war for the Union, the charter was surrendered, but was reclaimed after the war had closed. The records for the period prior to 1861 having been lost, but partial statistics can be obtained, but enough is known to show that fully $4000 have been paid to their sick and disabled members. W. J. Mckinley is Worthy Master; James A. Duffy, Secretary ; and James Kilpatrick Treasurer. The Conshohocken Lodge has, however, had a continuous existence, and has paid in sick benefits, $2832; in funeral benefits, $1285; and for other charities, $297.54,- or making a total of $4414 54. Samuel B. McAfee is Worthy Master; William Glass, Secretary ; and James Cairns, Treas- urer.

Junior American Protestant Association .- This order having the same principles in view as the American Protestant Association, adunit to member- ship youths above the age of seventeen. Lincoln Lodge, No. 18, was organized October 16, 1882. The present officers are : Worthy Master, Elmer E. Shearer; Secretary, A. Markley Murray; and Treasurer, Joseph Cameron.

Knights of the Revolution. - This organization was instituted in Norristown January 24, 1884, and has been successful in obtaining a goodly number of members. The patriotism of the Revolutionary heroes is inculcated in the ritual. The present officers are : H. S. Longaker, Ex-Patriarch; James Boyd, High Priest; Milton Schell, Prophet; John L. Weber, Sergeant-at-Arms; J. K. Stong, Treasurer; H. C. Fisher, Secretary; William Hart, Guard ; and John McAfee, Sentinel.

Knights of the Golden Eagle .- The order of the Knights of the Golden Eagle is a secret benevolent institution, and was founded in the city of Baltimore, Md., February 6, 1873, and for the general admiuis- tration of affairs it is divided into Supreme, Grand and Subordinate Castles.

In 1875, through the efforts of prominent Odd- Fellows, Keystone Castle, No. 1, was instituted in Philadelphia, where there are now nineteen castles. Some of the members of the castles in Philadelphia, with the co-operation of their friends at Shoemaker- town, instituted a castle which now numbers about seventy-five members, who participated in the Cen- tennial parade at Norristown. This order made such an elegant appearance at that time that prominent gentlemen were attracted to it and aided in the insti- tution of Montgomery Castle, No. 34, which event took place October 20, 1884, and it now has abont one hundred and twenty-five members. The following- named persons were the officers, to wit: Past Chief, J. R. Harner; Noble Chief, A. J. Henning; Vice- Chief, J. H. Henning; High Priest, Wm. A. Ruddach; Master of Records, Jos. B. D. Hamill ; Master of Ex-

chequer, Anthony Richardson; and Clerk of Ex- chequer, John T. Ruddach.

Ancient Order Knights of the Mystic Chain .- This is a fraternal and beneficial order, there being two castles now in existence in the county. The first castle organized is located at Pottstown; was insti- tuted July 6, 1872, and is named Westminster. There have been initiated in this castle two hundred and ninety-four persons, and the benefits paid exceed four thousand dollars. H. R. Bossert is the Recording Seribe and A. M. Miller, Treasurer.

Blooming Rose Castle, No. 44, was instituted at Norristown January 30, 1873. The membership ex- ceeds two hundred, and the castle is well officered. The present officers are : S. K. C., James A. Duffy ; S. K. V. C., Elmer Slough; Recording Scribe, George A. Coe; and Treasurer, A. W. Geiger. Over five thou- sand dollars have been expended in benefits alone, and assets on hand exceed two thousand dollars.

Sons of Veterans .- This organization was instituted for the purpose of inculeating the patriotic sentiments of the Grand Army of the Republic in the sons of the veterans of the late war for the Union, and with the hope that when the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic are depleted by death that their archives and trophies may be handed to this juuior organiza- tion for preservation. The membership is limited to the sons of the members of the Grand Army of the Republic and to the sons of veterans, living or dead, who can produce an honorable discharge from the United States government. The beneficial feature has been added as an additional inducement to secure members.

Colonel Edwin Schall Camp, No, 29, was instituted December, 1882, in Norristown, with thirty charter members. There are now about forty-four members. A camp was to have been started in Jenkintown, but the requisite number to secure success could not be obtained, and the project was abandoned. The office. of the State organization is in Philadelphia.

Mystic Druids .- This organization, which is claimed to be the offspring of the ancient Druids, who. were a separate class of the inhabitants of Britain, and who were to the masses of that ancient people a sort of priests or wise men, to whom all paid tribute, whether for medical advice or religious instruction, has long had an organization in this county.

About twelve years ago a lodge was instituted in Norristown. For a while it prospered beyond the expectations of its charter members, and finally rooms were fitted up in elegant style, the paintings being representative of the old rites and ceremonies of ancient Druidism.
