HOWARD   KN'CAMPMEXT.
Until  1846  Aurora  Lodge  was  the  only  society  of  Odd  Fellows  in  town,  but  on  August  5  of
that  year  Howard  P^ncanipment  Xumber  19  was  instituted  in  the  hall  occupied  by  Aurora
Lodge.  It  had  a  checkered  existence  for  a  few  jears,  and  finally,  in  1850.  surrendered  its  char-
ter. This  was  restored  February  21,  187G.  at  which  time  the  lodge  was  reinstituted.  and  since
then  it  has  been  steadily  increasing,  both  in  numbers  and  financial  strength,  until  now  its  con-
dition is  in  every  way  prosperous.  About  eighteen  gentlemen  have  held  the  highest  oftice  in
this  lodge,  that  of  Chief  Patriarch,  and  many  of  them  are  prominent  iu  other  orders.  The
officers  who  were  elected  in  1887  are  as  follows:  C.  P.,  Walter  E.  Cook;  H.  P.,  Sullivan  Eaton;
S.  W.,  A.  Rosenberg;  Treasurer.  A.  X.  Quinby;  R.  S.,  David  Thompson;  J.  W.,  F.  R.
DeLisle.    The  number  of  members  is  sixty-six.
