The order of the Eastern Star is a society that is similar to that of the Masons. They are charitable, educational, fraternal, and scientific. Both organizations work in concert and some Free Masons belong to both groups. The Eastern star uses the same facilities as The Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Masonic Temple in Coudersport. The Coudersport Consistory is one of the largest Masonic Temples in America, which at one time had almost 10,000 members.

Joanette Edgar I knew Aunt Carmen! I am Paul and Dottie Mosch's daughter. I never met my grandmother Mable; she passed right before I was born. My parents have been in a nursing home for a little over 1 year now. My dad will be 91 on Oct. 20. So nice to connect with you!

Founded in 1867, the National Grange is the nation’s oldest general farm and rural public interest organization. Its history is one of progress and achievements for farmers and rural communities across the U.S..
Much of the National Grange’s history has been groundbreaking: it was the first nationwide farm organization to give women full voice and vote, more than a half-century before the adoption of Universal Suffrage in the U.S.
In 1870, the National Grange became the first national farm organization to attempt to organize African American farmers following the Civil War.
A system of cooperative business organization was introduced by the National Grange early in its history, developing into successful national and regional farm cooperatives.
In 1876, the constitutionality of Granger Laws was affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court. Beginning in 1916 through 1941, the National Grange secured passage of federal legislation to assist struggling farmers by strengthening their property rights and their bargaining position.
The National Grange has continued to support farm legislation, as well as multilateral trade negotiations and food aid programs to open foreign markets to U.S. farmers. Its representatives were present to advise the U.S. delegation at the founding of the United Nations in 1945. It brought European farm teenagers to live with Grange families following World War II, to learn about modern agriculture practices and the advantages of democracy. It has participated in agricultural development programs for the U.S. Peace Cops.
The organization was also instrumental in organizing rural electric cooperatives, telephone cooperatives, water service cooperatives, public utility districts, volunteer fire departments, and state police programs across the U.S.
All these measures began with support at a local level. Today, the grange maintains that voice. In Pennsylvania, it serves its members with a credit union in Harrisburg and provides health insurance to groups such as farmers. At one time, farmers could only insure their machinery through the grange.
COUSIN, JOHN PEET: “Our whole goal is family and community-oriented,” remarked, John Peet, a master at Odin Grange, Potter County.
