Detroit Grange, No. 347, was instituted in April 1899 with 32 charter members. The first master was Wm. Young. The home of the order has always been in Hart's hall with the ex- ception of about one year in 1906 when meetings were held in the upper room of the school house. The lodge room has a seating capacity of about 200. Past Masters: Frank Clark, B. R. Brackett, B. E. Robertson, present master. Ethel Nor- ton is present secretary. The present membership is about that of the charter membership although at one time it was more than 100.
