The orders that came after the roster: Moose and Eagles

The Moose documented by 1914 · both stand whole in Private Clubs

The pointer: Howard's census of 1907 is complete for its year, and the two great orders of the next wave arrived after it. The Loyal Order of Moose — Mishawaka Lodge No. 1262 — is in the press by March 1914 with a hall and an indoor baseball team, and in a lodge column by February 1917 at the ordinary business of an order: nominations, the initiation of a class, a banquet after the meeting. The Fraternal Order of Eagles keeps Aerie No. 2083 at 225 South Main in the state and federal records, working in 2025. Both bodies stand whole in the Private Clubs section — halls, addresses, the conflicts in their present state — and are not re-dug here. Their place in this section is the classification the federal record itself gives them: the Moose lodge is carried in the exempt-organizations record as a "fraternal beneficiary society," an order or association — the assessment-insurance machine of the roster years, in the two orders that carried it furthest into the twentieth century — and the police lodge of the present record, Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 91, is the form's occupational descendant, standing likewise in Private Clubs. The roster's world did not end in 1907; it changed its letterhead.
