Description
Shown is a Capital City Rebekah Lodge scrapbook, produced in 1955. The Rebekahs were an international apolitical organization that began as an auxiliary women's group to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Lodges were introduced in 1851 after future U.S. Vice President, Schuyler Colfax, chartered the assembly's Rebekah Degree. The group's aim was to educate peers and live by the principles of love, friendship, and truth. Capital City Rebekah Lodge No. 160 was founded on September 3, 1890, with John Glasson serving as the group’s first Grand Master and eighty charter members. The first officers appointed were Delia Pettit as First Noble Grand, Alice Seadler as Vice Grand, and Mary Murray as Right Supporter. The scrapbook highlights the contributions made by Rose Hake, Helen French, Alice Byrd, Lila Mower, Pearl Clayton and other members of the Capital City Rebekah Lodge, No. 160, I.O.O.F. The collection documents group events from throughout the year.
