Yeomen Death Claims, April 1, 1919.

Oakland, California.

Friday evening February 28th Oakland Homestead 839 celebrated the 22nd  birthday of Yeomanry with a banquet, with Supreme Director C. L. Vrooman and State Manager W. J. Elliott as special guest of honor.  Over 100 enthusiastic archers were in attendance and for real Yeoman spirit this gathering will long be remembered as the greatest meeting of Yeomanry in Oakland.  Lady Rowena Willett, formerly of Mo., Supreme Director Vrooman's old stamping ground, quite surprised our Supreme Director with a touch of the "show me" hospitality and we feel fortunate in having many of our Supreme Director’s old friends as members of our Homestead.  The committee in charge of a banquet are deserving of much praise for the fine evening's banquet and entertainment given the members.

 

We have just added another page to the many of Yeoman chivalry.  We have wrought reality from dreams and have placed the family of one of our deceased members in her home made possible by Yeoman protection.  Eight little ones and a happy mother left dependent by a father, a victim of the flu, are singing praises for Yeomanry, and a happy mother breathes easier in the thought that she was by a kind Providence placed under the protecting folds of Yeomanry.

 

Oakland Homestead 839 has looked well after the interests of its afflicted members during the "flu" epidemic and now that we have regained our equilibrium, watch us grow.--C. P. Klinkner, Foreman.
