THE ORDER
TO THE MEMBERS OF PROGRESS GRANGE, )
CENTRE HALL, PA. J
Your committee on the Good of the Order submitted a statement sever-
al months ago on the growth of the Grange in Centre county since the time it was
instituted in 1874. We now desire to review the achievements of our Grange,
Progress Grange was organized in a vacant school room on the second
floor of the Centre Hall school building, on the 4th of February, 1874, and contin
ued meeting there until August, 1898, when the school room was required for school
purposes. The Grange then moved into the hall in the Foundry building, where it
met until November, 1898, when the Grange moved into its own home, known as
Grange Arcadia.
The erection of Grange Arcadia was begun in the fall of 1897 and was
completed during 1898 and 1899. The corner stone was laid in June, 18g8, Colonel
James F. Weaver, worthy Lecturer of the County Grange, officiating, this being the
first time the beautiful ceremony of the National Grange for the laying of corner
stones of Grange halls was used.
The hall was dedicated in June, 18g9, Col. James F. Weaver conducting
the ceremonies. Mr. Packard, of Bradford county, worthy Lecturer of the State
Grange, delivering the dedicatory address.
The actual cost of the building was, in round numbers, $4500, the
members gratuitously having done the hauling and such labor as they could.
The building committee was composed of I.. Rhone, J. A. Keller, J. J.
Arney, Alfred Durst and Perry Breon. $2000 were paid in cash, part of which was
saved from the general revenues of the Grange, part by subscription from members,
and part by donations from friends, leaving a debt on completion of the building of
about $2500.
To meet this indebtedness the Grange unanimously passed a resolution
instructing the trustees to mortgage the property in trust for $2000, and issue twen-
ty bonds in $100 denominations, bearing five per cent. interest, and sell the same.
The Grange being incorporated the master and secretary officially signed these
bonds under the seal of the Grange without any personal liability. The remaining
$500 of debt were carried in the Penns Valley Bank, all of which has been duly paid,
