Records of the De Pere, Wisconsin, lodge, including minutes, semi-annual reports, a ledger containing membership records, roll of officers, and treasurers’ cash books, receipt book, and orders.

Minutes (1877-1900 and 1946-1959) detail the lodge’s monthly meetings, decisions, and activities, including the creation of committees and offers of food and other help to members in need. The Treasurer’s records include dues paid and monetary assistance given to members and others in the community.
