This club was first organized in 1872 and
was looked upon as the swell club OF the
State. IL thrived until 1855, when a great
many OF the members were compelled
to withdraw from its social gatherings
and the few left were unable TO continue
the organization. During its existence as
a full fiedged club its treasury had in
creased TO thousands. At the time
when it ceased TO be an organization the
question arose as TO what should become
OF the money. Some desired to di-
vide 1t equally among its members, Others
desired for IL TO remain upon interest
be arrived at IL was brought into litiga-
ton by some of its members and there il
remained without any settlement, the |
amount being about two thousand dol |
lars, which has been at interest since |
1850. Now the old members who are |
still living here and those who are away |
will meet and complete the organization, |
residents TO become active members and |
lhose living out OF town to be honorary |
members. The general opinion is that
they viii take money on hand and build
4 fine clubhouse and furnish it
throughout with the most modern furni-
,ure There are two or three beautiful
water fronts for sale and very desirable
)nes.
