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.
