1Title:  Czecho-Slavonic Benevolent Society Minute Book     
 Creator:  Czecho-Slavonic Benevolent Society 
 Dates:  1882-1893 
 Abstract:  Cesko-Slovanske podporujici spolky ve Spojenych Statech (Czecho-Slavonic Benevolent Society, was a mutual benefit association founded in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1870. Its early members served in the Union army during the American Civil War. Initially, benefits were paid to dependents of men killed in the war. The first Cleveland, Ohio, branch was the third branch of the national organization, and by 1919, 23 branches were located in the city. The national organization was headed by a supreme lodge which had 11 Grand Lodges beneath it. Cleveland was the seat of the Ohio Grand Lodge, which at one point had 31 individual lodges with 3,400 members under its charge. The Czecho-Slavonic Benevolent Society minute book, 1882-1893, consists of a single volume of the Ohio Grand Lodge. The collection is useful for understanding the activities of a late 19th century Czech benevolent society.
