John A. Childs of Farmers Surtply, Inf., in Orveneastle was one of several John Deere dealers who were invited to be th 1 guests of this concern on a Week's trip to visit the various John iAere plants, located at East Moline, 111., Dubuque, Des Moines and Waterloo, Iowa. Mr. Childs has just returned and reports a most inntiurtive and interesting trip. The purpose of the trip was to give these John Daere dealers, who have performed an excellent job in the past, an opportunity to secure a well-rounded picture of John Deere plans for the coming year. Mr. Childs was very much impressed with the modern new factories, recently put into operation by John Deere, which is one of the two top manufacturers of farm implements.

At our next stated meeting, April 10. 1950 we will elect a secretary. There will be balloting A good attendance is urged to be present at both meetings O. K. H. ANNIVERSARY ' years, by having some of 'its mendrers elected or appointed to high offices in the Grand Chapter of Indiana. Brother Truman G. Yuneker, • was elected Worthy Patron of i Greencastle Chapter In 1924 and served until 1927. He was first appointed on Grand Chapter Ownmlttees in 1925, then served na Grand CJwplIn in 1929, and as Associate Grand Patron in 1930, •and a* Worthy Grand Patron of the Indiana Grand Chapter O E S
in 1931.
During the intervening yeara
he served on various committees for the Indiana Grand Chapter, a.iu'i'g those being: committee on appeals and grievencc, audit and inventory, charters and dispensa- | iions, special educational fund, .• d juri.iprudence, and as n trustee of the Grand Chapter. Al th< present time he is ehairnrui of the edueatiou fund committee. Brother Truman G. Ytincker holds honorary membership in nany cliapt. rs in Indiana and in hue chapters in the Hawaiian islands, one of which he instiluted in 1932. in 1935 Ethel C. Yuneker was appointed Grand Representative d Vermont in Indiana; 1941, Flossie McCullough was appointed Grand Representative of Pennsylvania in Indiana: and. in 1942, Value Williams was appointed Grand Representative of South Dakota in Indiana. The following history of Greenca.stle Chapter No. 255, Order of Eastern Star was prepared by Dr Truman G. Yuneker: The Order of the Eastern Star is about 100 years old. The idea >f an organization of the women relatives of Master Masons had its origin probably as early as the Revolutionary period or before. It was largely through the efforts of Robert Morris, a Master Mason living in Kentucky. however, that the Order had its beginning in essentially the ion ii. in which it tww exists. During the 1850’s Mr. Morris was very active in devising and promulgating an organization to include with Master Masons their wives, widows, mothers, sisters and daughters. The organization changed its form a few times but by 1860 what is now known as the Order .of the Eastern Star was well established. The local groups at first were known as Constellations or Families. The term Chapter as now used came into being about 1870. It appears that the degrees of the Order were first conferted in Indiana at New Albany in 1852. By 1855 Constellations existed at Crown Point. Moores Hill, Cambridge City. North Sal- • m. New Albany, Milton and perhaps elsewhere in Indiana. During the 1850’s and 1860’s hundreds of Chapters with thousands of member^ were organized throughout the country. The first group in Indiana to be knqwn as a Chapter appears to have been chartered at State Line City in January 1870 by a n an named McCoy vho was then acting as head of the Eastern Star organization in the state of New York Mr. McCoy subsequently chartered 25 other Chapters in Indiami. One of these was Minerva Chapter No. 13 of Greencastle with 51 charter members. In 1874 the chapter had a membership of 33 men and 30 women and was the largest chapter in the state. In 1877 the membership had risen to 117. During this period there was no general supervision and each group or Chapter wnrked under its own more or less local regulations. Mlohgian in 1867. New York, New Jersey and Mississippi in 1870, and California in 1873 formed state Grand Chapters for the regulation of the subordinate Chapters in their areas. Following the example set by these other states, the Indiana Chapters, including Minerva Chapter, petitioned in 1874 for the establishment of an Indiana Grand Chapter. Of the original 25 chapters 15 still survived at 'hat time. Other chapters were located at Lafayette, Indianapolis. Pendleton, Anderson, Bridgeton, Plainfield, Mt. Vernon, South Bend, etc. Today Indiana has nearly 500 chapters with a membership of about 110.000. A preliminary meeting to organize the Grand Chapter was held in Anderson in May 1874, The representatives to this meeting frn*n Minerva Chapter were James S. Nutt, Mra H. R. PRchlynn and Mrs. W. G. Burnett. At this meeting Mrs Pitohlynn was made Grand Treasurer and James Nutt Grand Secretary. The first regular meeting of the Grand f^hapter was held at Lafayette in April of 1875. Greencastle had asked that the meeting be held here but Hope Chapter of Lafayette received that honor. The Minerva Chapter representatives at this firet meeting were James S. Nutt, Mrs. Jennie Cook and Mrs. Lizzie Smythe. Mrs. Pitchlynn was elected Grand Associate Matron. The second Grand Chapter meeting, at the invitation of Minerva Chapter, was held In Greencastle In 1876 at which time James S. Nutt was elected Worthy Grand Patron and William Smythe Grand Secretary. He continued in this office for 17 years to be followed by Lizzie Smythe for 1 year. Nettie Hansford of Indianapolis then became Grand Secretary which po-
death
sition site neld until a few years ago.
Minerva Chapter thus played a very important role in the formation and establishment of the Indiana Grand Chapter during its early years . The Greencastle meeting was one of, the most important of the early meetings. It was at this meeting that a
movement to establish a General Grand Chnpti r under whose Jurisdiction the various State Gran I Chapters would be subordinate was initiated. Janies S. Nutt, who at that time was one of the most induenial members of the Order, was chairman of the committee which presented the constitution, by-laws and regulations for the
