International Order of good Templars

DonnaArundale35 — 6 Feb 2008 3:33:44 GMT

Hi

Can anyone help me. During an online book search on google I found this book on the Anti Saloon League 1929 Yearbook
It stated that George William Sherar was International Guard does anyone know what this means?

George William Sherar was very high up in the International Order of Good Templars here in New South Wales, Australia from 1889 till 1939 and went to several big events in America and England such as the International Supreme Lodge Sessions and The Anti Saloon League Sessions he gave speeches at these events. I am in the progress of sorting through pages of information I have collected from the The Australian Temperance World Journals but it does'nt explain what International Guard means'

Can someone help?? If you can please email me at donnarthur@hotmail.com

Boslov

Harry Urkowitz — 10 Oct 2004 2:12:44 GMT

My father told me that he was born, in 1880, in Boslov -- now Ukraine-- then part of Russia. It is (or was) a small town about 25 - 30 kilometers north of Tulchin--which was a larger city. Is there any connection with the Boslover Beneficial Association, or does Boslover refer to some other city in Europe?

Alliance Marquette

SLumb9873 — 28 Sep 2001 4:46:30 GMT

Is anyone familiar with an organization called the Alliance Marquette? I believe it may have been a social group for those of French or French-Canadian background. My greatgrandfather's funeral was under the auspices of this group in 1917 in Saginaw, MI. There were probably chapters in other cities as well. any info appreciated.

Boslover Beneficial Association in Philadelphia

R_Forkush — 22 Jul 2003 1:49:04 GMT

Looking for anyone who had relatives who belonged to Boslover Beneficial Association in Philadelphia. My grandfather Morris Yacknitz was the president sometime in the 1930s and was honored by them. He built their building at 5th and Erie sometime in the 30s maybe.

I have looked all over for the Yacknitz name coming to America and can't find it until the 1920 census - not even sure this is really the original name.

Thank you

My great grandfather was admitted a member of the International Supreme Lodge of the IOGT. Can anyone tell me what they did, are they still operating, do they have an address or records for searches? More specifically in Europe or in the Brit colonies?

Unusual Photo, Gentleman Wearing Formal Dress (late 1800s) & Woolen Stocking Cap -- Fraternal Organization/Lodge? - Sons of Temperance, International Order of Good Templars, Other?

jeanrice — 21 Feb 2004 5:37:16 GMT

Does anyone know of an organization and/or lodge that was active in Ilinois in the late 1800s in which members were photographed wearing stocking caps? Also, what is the fraternal organization that has Woodsmen in the title? He appears to be wearing a medal with initials of I, F, or S, then G or C, and then T. The border around the photograph has embossed roses which might, or might not, be significant.

Each city having a chapter is listed & a contact person. This is also developing into a research site for those who have Confederate ancestry that either served from Louisiana or are buried in LA. Can we help you become a member of this organization that remembers & honors our Confederate/Southern heritage?
