Historical Note
In 1867, the Patrons of Husbandry, later renamed the National Grange, was formed. It was organized for the social, economic and educational improvement of rural America. The various levels under the National Grange are the State, Pomona, and Subordinate Granges. The Missaukee Grange No. 918, is a Subordinate Grange in Missaukee County, Michigan. This chapter was granted a charter in 1901. Mr. and Mrs. Root, the donors of these records, were members of this grange.
Scope and Contents note
This collection includes the grange charter, as well as correspondence, reports, report forms, membership lists, and insurance policies for the Grange hall. Other materials from Grange No. 918 are applications for Degree of Pomona (the highest rank in a Subordinate Grange), fund-raising information, five volumes of meeting minutes (1904-1935, 1961-1967) and two dues account books (1901-1912, 1946-1966).
Materials from Granges 1836 and Grange 1847, also from Missaukee County, are included as well. These items are reports to Pomona #56, applications for membership in the Pomona and applications for the Degree of Pomona. A volume of meeting minutes of Pomona #56, which ruled over these three Granges, is also included.
The Michigan State Grange materials include correspondence, roster booklets, a copy of the State Grange bylaws, reports of the 78th and 83rd annual meetings and various report forms.
National Grange materials include correspondence, mostly about the Grange Centennial in 1967 as well as manuals and booklets on procedures and guidelines for meetings.
