Lodges & Fraternal Orders

The negative tests, and what stands

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

Tested November 2026; standing as of November 2026

Two required tests print as negatives on the record reached. No Prince Hall lodge seated in North Liberty was found — a result consistent with the census record in the Black history leg, and printed as a searched negative, its settler the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Indiana's proceedings. No klavern record — no chartered Klan unit, parade or prosecution sited in North Liberty — was found in the sources reached; the county's Klan-era history is documented at the county seat and is not imported here, and the town-level test stands open to the 1920s town press read whole, which is named as its settler. What stands, dated November 2026: Lodge No. 266, active at 128 North Main in its c. 1925 hall; the Eastern Star chapter attested at No. 290; and the rest of the fraternal alphabet present in this town's surviving record mainly as the memberships its men carried — which is itself the honest shape of lodge life in a town of this size.
