GERMAN LODGES. The Germania Lodge of Knights of Honor was organized May 9, 1878. The first officers were: William Huettig, dictator; George Schneider, vice dictator; Charles Tappe, assistant dictator; G. Aumiller, past dictator; Ferdinand Grade, reporter; Frederick Huettig, financial reporter; Charles Graefe, treasurer; John Schmidt, chaplain; L. Lang, guide; J. Nietzel, guardian; J. Hoffmann, sentinel. This lodge does not exist at the present time.
A German grove of the Ancient Order of Druids was organized here in 1873, and was continued for a period of four years. It was reorganized in the '80s and again flourished for several years. No lodge of this order exists at the present time. The names of the respective officers are not now obtainable.
In the '80s a lodge of the German Brotherhood of Iowa also existed here for a number of years. The list of its officers is likewise not obtainable.
