Documented 1907
Supreme officers at South Bend: Howard's census records a second fraternal order whose government sat in this city in 1907, smaller than the Owls and without their chronicler: the Knights and Ladies of Columbia, whose supreme officers Howard lists as residents at work here — Supreme Counsellor Ormond Kennedy, Supreme Scribe John Roth, Supreme Cashier Elmer Crockett, Supreme Medical Director Cornelius H. Myers, Supreme Attorney Daniel Rich. Locally the order worked through South Bend Council No. 1, Winona Council No. 39, a Loyal Workers body, and an Interurban Association. The order's later course — whether the supreme seat stayed, moved, or ended — was not reached, and the entry stands at Howard's size.
