Ohio State Grange Lake Grange No. 2205 (Lake, Wood County, Ohio: Township) records

This collection of Grange records will prove useful to those researchers interested in agricultural and rural studies. While the minutes have some gaps, they provide information on officers, membership, dues, programs, and business conducted. However, this information is in more of an outline format than narrative and thus lacks great detail. There are also scattered minute books representing sub-groups such as the Juvenile Grange and a working group for young women. The few membership information comes from a Roll book from 1919 to 1926 that includes a listing of Charter members, loose applications from 1935-1936 that give some information on members, their name, age, and occupation, and a dues account book from 1969 to 1974. The Grange Hall dedication book provides information on the Grange history, and a list of past Masters, and there are several informal histories included that were presented on various anniversaries and special occasions.
