Carter then of Hampden. heard of the
| organization in Washington and the
West. and commenced correspondence
with Father Kelley looking to the es-
| tabliShment of a grange in Maine,
and naturally in Hampden. His eff
| forts were finally successful and Col.
| Walker having been initiated in
| Washington was made the first Mas
| ter, but it is generally conceded that
| Mr. Carter was entitled to the credit
| for establishing the grange, and his
| wife, Mrs. Louise Carter, the present
secretary of the grange. was the first
| to receive the degrees. AS Col. Walk
el was not thoroughly conversant
| with the unwritten work, only the
| first degree was conferred at the or
| ganizaton. Afterwards either Father
| Kelley or one of his associates came
| to Hampden and gave them the -four
| degrees There are t present four OF
| the original charter members living
as follows: Fred Sawyer. T. G.. York
