LINCOLN GRANGE

Lincoln Grange was organized in 1874 as Ontario Center Grange No. 122. The organization took place in the Masonic Hall and F. A. Hill was the first Master and Nelson Manie the first Secretary. For the next few years meetings were held in various places sometimes in halls and sometimes in the homes of members. In 1896 the Grange moved to Kennedy and Hatch's Hall at Lincoln and was then known as Lincoln Grange. In 1905 the Grange was incorporated and purchased the lot, store and hall of Arthur Hatch and wife. In the spring of 1906 a cheese factory was built and in 1909 an addition thereto. In January, 1926, the Grange Hall again burned to the ground. The former Methodist Church was purchased and remodeled into a modern Grange Hall. During the past sixty years there have been about twenty masters including, F. A. Hill, Stephen Sabin, Henry Brewer, Loren Jennings, Leroy Sharp, Wm. T. Braithwaite, Stephen Hooker, Austin Risley, George Church, Everdick Burdick, Henry Burrows, Marlet Downs, Joseph Hurlburt, Warner D. Esley, Charles Drushel, William F.

SOUTH SODUS GRANGE No. 175

Excelsior Grange was organized in North Lyons, date unknown, and held meetings at homes of the members and also in a hop house on the B. P. Van Marter farm, north of Lyons and two miles from South Sodus. Trouble arose that divided the Grange, part of the members going to Lyons and others organized a unit in the Van Marter hop house on April 18, 1874, which is South Sodus Grange, No. 175. It is said that B. P. Van Marter was the first Master. There were 31 charter members. From 1874 until 1890 the meetings were held in the Methodist Church and in different halls in South Sodus. For the first few years it had a steady growth, then slowly declined until about 1905 when it had only about 40 members. Later it began to pick up and gained in membership; in December, 1925 we had about 100 members. Since then we have lost in members till now we have only half that number. December 2, 1916 we created a sinking fund for the purpose of building a hall, we started with $25, to which we added, until in the summer of 1932 we purchased the M. E. parsonage which we made into a Grange Home and it was dedicated on June 28 by Worthy Master M. Freestone, the best of all it is all paid for.

WALWORTH GRANGE No. 289

Walworth Grange was organized January 28, 1875, with 37 Charter members. The Hon. Lucien I. Yeomans was the first master. The first meetings were held in the homes of the Patrons. Then the Masonic Hall was rented for a short time. In 1877 the old Walworth Academy building was rented and the second floor was remodeled by the husbandmen and Matrons. As we all know a Grange wouldn't be a Grange without the dinners so after a few years the Grangers made the first floor of the Academy building into a dining room and kitchen. This building served as a Grange Home until March, 1929, when it was wrecked to make room for the new Walworth High School. In the Spring of 1929 the Grangers purchased the old Pacific Hotel located on the four corners in the Village of Walworth. Again the Patrons cooperated and remodeled the building. The second floor is used for a Grange Hall, dining room, serving rooms and a kitchen. The first floor is rented for a barber shop, a feed store, a living apartment and a room used by the firemen and the town for voting purposes. This building has been painted and repaired so that every Granger is proud of its home. Walworth Grange takes pride in knowing that one of the former members helped to organize the Wayne County Mutual Fire Insurance Company which was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York in 1878. The men who were responsible for the Insurance Company were, Rowland Robinson of Sodus, A. T. Sheldon of Pultneyville and Albert Yeomans of Walworth. The company filled a long felt need for fire protection to the Patrons of Wayne County. In 1880, Mr. Billings, the Master of Walworth Grange, gave a few volumes to the grange. This started the library whose shelves fill the wall space on the one side of the Grange Room. Books are added each year through the efforts of the Book Club of Walworth Grange members. Thus the Grangers are supplied with new reading material. The library is popular with all ages of grangers and their families. Walworth Patrons are justly proud of its library. There are fifteen of Walworth's sixteen past masters who are still members of the local grange. Most of them taking an active part in Grange work. One serves as Grange Treasurer; three are on the board of trustees and one is chorister of the Grange. We have two Golden Sheaf members and 23 Silver Star members. About 25 of our members have just made applications for their Silver Star Certificates. One of the activities of the Grange which all of the Patrons take pride in and show a great interest in is the exhibit which they put on at the Palmyra Fair. Why shouldn't they, they have won on all their exhibits except one.

The site coordinators have no information about individuals listed or about the specific granges. We realize that some of the spellings look incorrect, may be incorrect, and probably are incorrect. But as you recognize your relatives, typing this up was worthwhile. The lists have been proofread against the original book, and to maintain the historical integrity of this resource, the spellings of your relatives' names will remain as in the original. We thank you in advance for not emailing us with questions but directing ALL inquiries to the Office of the County Historian.
