M CINLEY BOASTS [
LENGTHY RECORD
Supreme Secretary in Of
flee z6 Years C0lWell
Held Office "a Terms

when it comes to records in our
Supreme office it's to the Supreme
Secretary that we look. Since 1908
the duties Of this office have been
administered, expeditiously and
faithfully, by William J. Mckinley
He came into office with the Sue
preme Knightship Of James A.
Flaherty, one of the most distfn-
guishcd to hold that position.
Prior to Mr.. mckinley the off
flee was administered by the late
Daniel Colwell of New Haven, who
Joined with Father Michael Me-
Givney and those other hardy
Catholics back in 1882 to organize
and have Incorporated the Knights
Of Columbus. Mr.. Colwell served
from 1885 to 1903.
The office of Supreme Secretary
was not created until 1885. In
the three years Of Columbianism
before that year the duties were
divided between financial and
a corresponding secretary. In the
former position was James T. Mcs
Mahon. Father McGivney himself
assumed the latter office for Q
three year period.
So the name Of Colwell goes
down as a 24-year man, while that
Of mckinley has covered rs years
and still goes merrily on.

the summer and ensuing months.
The greatest number Of years
spent in any one location were
those in the early part of this
century in the Plat building on
East Main Street. 1t was these
rooms which witnessed the growth
of Sheridan Council from a nu-
cleas of Catholic men to one OF
the largest and strongest groups
in the state.
It was while located in what are
now Hibernian Hall and office

Gus to mention, were proposed and
carried out in these historic rooms.

then known as the G. A. r. hall.
The charter officers and members
were sworn in there. The old
Dougherty block on East Main
street and later st. Patrick's Hall
on the same street also sheltered
the growing order.
The old Pythian Hall then the
old Elks' hal. on Bank street also
figure in the early history being

century. In 1900 Sheridan Coun-
Gil went into the Plat building and
remained there until 1919.
