DIVISION NO. !
Ladies' Auxiliary Of the Ancient Order
Of Hibernians Celebrate Twenty
first Anniversary.
On Monday evening the Ladies'
Auxiliary of Division No. 1, celebrated
their majority. 1t was the twenty-first
of the organization of the
oldest division of the Ladies' Aux
Hilary in the United States, indeed,
the organization antedates July Goth,
by several weeks, because the first
organization was formed in
Minneapolis on June 26, 1894, at
meeting held in the Labor Temple,
when Thomas Connolly, then county
president; M. w. Mogan, the father
of Hibernianism in Minnesota; and
J. ]. Fitzgerald returned from the ma
tional convention at Omaha. They
brought with them the news that the
national organization favored the for
nation of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians under
the direction of the officers Of the An
Gent Order of Hibernians and not as
a separate organization. The progress
sive spirit of Hibernianism in Henne-
pin county asserted itself and there
was desire on the part of the Hiber-
mans to win the palm and lay claim
to the parent organization of the
Ladies' Auxiliary, then known as the
Daughters, of Erin" Accordingly a
temporary organization was formed on
the Goth of June, 1894, at the meeting
held in the Labor Temple hall, when
M. w. Mogan, and J. ]. Fitzgerald ex-
planned the aims and objects of the
Daughters of Erin. ..
