Order With Bright Future Completed at Meeting Sunday fPTISÌ ËR" A R h Y l One of the largest beneficiary orders of Cottage Grove is Bo hemia Camp No. 260, Woodmen o f the World. This camp was organized Jan uary 11, 1896, by Deputy Head Consul F. J. McHenry, with twenty chaiter members. Its first officers were: J. S. Medley, Consul; Dr. G. U. Snapp, Advisor; J. A. Benson, Clerk; Ben Lurch, Banker; J. M. Culp, Escort; J. W. Miller, Watch man; J. H. Wellas, Sentry; W. H. Cooper, J. I. Jones and H. H. Petrie, Managers. The camp has enjoyed a steady growth from the stait, and now has 153 members in good stand ing, carrying insurance amount ing to $227,500. And with the campaign now in p r o g r e s s throughout the county they ex pect to add several more to the roster. Bohemia Camp has always been public spirited and progressive in its undertakings. It dedicated the city park, by giving the first free picnic in it after it became the property of the city, inviting not only the people of the town, but from the surrounding coun try, and a very large crowd was present. The Head Camp offi cers were present and furnished the speeches, while the local camp contributed the various sports and amusements. In 1910 the camp, with Juven- tus Lodge No. 48, K. of P., pur chased their present property on Main street, on the installment plan, and so far have met their payments, promptly, so that in a short time they will have a valua ble piece of property for a home of their own. During the life o f the camp it has lost nine members by death, paying to their beneficiaries eight een thousand dollars, besides erecting over the grave o f each departed brother a monument costing $100. The order throughout the juris diction is in a flourishing condi tion, having over six million dol lars in its reserve fund, invested in par value bonds, of which the city of Eugene has over one hun dred and five thousand dollars’ worth. The order socially is the equal of the fraternal orders, and with a small assesssment each month the man of moderate means is enabled to carry life insurance at low cost. The present officers of the camp are: J. E. McKibbin, Past Consul; E- S. Silsby, Consul; Louis Mc Kibbin, Advisor; F. C. Coffman, Clerk; J. H. Bartels, Banker; C. A. Shaw, Escort; F. J. Bartels, Watchman; C. H. Van Denburg, Sentry; J. W. Veatch, A. Brew er and M. Kibbelbeck, Managers.
