Collection
Identifier: MS-0664
Collection Organization
The records of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, Oak Leaf Lodge No. 196, Ladies Auxiliary of Dayton, Ohio consist primarily of procedural records, including a series of minute books and dues/account ledgers dating from the establishment of the Lodge in 1900.
Although the correspondence consists primarily of printed circulars and notices from the Grand Lodge, there are a few individual letters of inquiry about transferring to the lodge as other groups disbanded in later years. The official correspondence also includes listings of Auxiliary members who have died, including the death dates.
Of particular interest in the minutes, also separately copied into the subject files, is the 1905 account of proceedings of charges of adultery brought by Lodge members against Minnie Trader, resulting with her eventual expulsion.
