then came another leader in the person
of Arthur Claassen, whose name was a
synonym of success, and he led the So

the benefit of the Home for the Friend

the Newark, which was prominent So

Major Carl Lentz, who still retains
membership in the society, was elected
it's president in January, 1885, and he
did much toward placing 1t in the front
rank of organizations of its kind.
