Clay County Societies
Fraternal, Benevolent, Literary and Temperance Organizations
These organizations were an important part of life in small-town America in the late part of the 19th and early 20th centuries.� They offered a chance to forge friendships and business alliances, forget their daily cares, and improve their communities.� As transportation improved, many farm families joined the organizations in the towns, or started their own, such as home demonstration clubs.
