My Grandfather, John B. Cross, became a ceritfied member of the Labor Exchange on May 21, 1894. The document was passed down for my safe keeping and preservation. It is an indication of hard times for farmers and was designed to help with monies in exchange for goods. I am in hope of seeking anyone with more knowledge of their family members sojourning from Iowa to join this organization just to survive in those times.
