Eastern Star Home Fund Begun by Milwaukee Chapter
The Milwaukee Chapter No. 2 of the Order of Eastern Star launches a drive to raise funds for an Eastern Star home for Wisconsin aged members and orphans. A benefit event Tuesday yielded $173 after an initial $5 gift, with ongoing fund collection and committee planning through 1902. The movement seeks a debt-free construction, modeled after Michigan Illinois Missouri institutions, and invites contributions from all Wisconsin chapters.
