The Lorane Grange, the oldest in Lane County, and fourth oldest in the state of Oregon, was founded on December 10, 1873, and met in the Green Door School for several years until a hall was built in 1888 on north Territorial Road. It is believed that the building was located on the Rieck place north of Ham Road, and was known as the Siuslaw Grange. The first officers were D.B. Cartwright, Master; Knox Houston, Overseer; Marion Nighswander, Secretary; William Russell, Chaplain; and James F. Amis, Sec. There were 30 charter members including William Insley Coleman.
