The Newtown bee., 1889-04-26

Mir P. Cannon has quietly circulated a paper through the Street and vicinity and has obtained more than the neces- sary 20 names for charter members of a lodge of Knights of Columbus, which will be instituted here as soon as the necessary papers can be obtained. It win probably be called Newtown lodge and will doubtless have large mem bership. Mir Cannon and others, mem bers of Housatonic lodge, No. 40, of New Milford, will be transferred to New town and members of other out of towr lodges will probably follow suit.
