Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The LeRoy Community Grange records date from 1933 to 2000 and include secretary’s books, a treasurer’s account book, cash/day books, and dues account books. A complete run of meeting minutes from January 20, 1939 to December 5, 1941 and January 28, 1944 to December 11, 1993 comprise a majority of the records. Unfortunately the secretary’s books that contain the meeting minutes from 1933 to 1938 and from 1942 to 1943 are missing. The information contained in the secretary’s books vary from volume to volume but may include the roll call and election of officers, number of members attending the meeting, financial information such as bills paid and treasurer’s reports, a health report on the Grange members, information on the projects and programs the grange was involved with, and reports from the various committees such as Legislative, Agriculture, and Home Economics. Topics range from agricultural and legislative issues to information on the events and construction at the Boone County Fair Grounds to money donated to charitable organizations such as the American Cancer Society, March of Dimes, and Salvation Army. The treasurer’s account book and cash/day books document the financial details of the Grange while the dues account books and dues receipt book provides information on membership and dues fluctuations.
