DEGREE OF HONOR.



    In December, 1898, the Degree of Honor organized a temporary lodge in

Faulkton, and since that time has been in active operation. In that time it has

paid three thousand dollars or more on account of the death of members. From the

twenty-six, who were charter members, the order rapidly increased in number

until nearly one hundred had identified themselves with it. The promptness with

which death losses have been paid has done much to give the lodge both financial

standing and a social influence both in the city and surrounding country, and as

a beneficiary organization is well worthy the sympathy and patronage of a much

larger number. Meetings are held on the second and fourth Saturdays of each

month. The last meeting of each month, refreshments are served and especial

attention is given to the* social side of the order.



    The order has had its home in Hay's Hall ever since his block was erected

and is in good financial standing.



   The following are the officers for the year 1909:



Mary Griffee, Past Chief of Honor.

Victorena Rush, Chief of Honor.

Ann Thorn, Lady of Honor.

Louise Simon, Chief of Ceremonies.

Minnie Pangburn, Recorder.

Eva M. Young, Financier.

Emma Seaman, Receiver.

Altia Edgerton, Usher.

Frank Pangburn, Inner Watch.

S. F. Thorn, Outer Watch.

Mrs. Emma Rice, Advisor.
