| JULY 5, 2014 -- Last month I mentioned that a brass bell had been added to the archives. In searching through the 1957 records, it was a year when "gimmicks" were presented to a Grange whenever it visited another Grange. (I am not certain if this was a gravel or a banner.)
A record was retained with the "gimmick" showing how times times a Grange captured it. My search found following a list of Honor Granges, “the Worthy Master announced that the “Grange of the year” was Hamden Grange No. 99 and presented them with a speaker’s bell for their Grange Hall.” Donald Peck was State Master at that time. |
