| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 2 | Title: | Swiss Society Records
| | | | Creator: | Swiss Society | | | | Dates: | 1872-1970 | | | | Abstract: | The Swiss Society was created in 1872 as the Schweizerischen Unterstuetzungs Verein by a group of members from the Swiss male chorus, then known as the Schweizer Gesang Verein Gruetli Bund, in Cleveland, Ohio. A mutual aid society for those of Swiss descent, the Swiss Society provided not only insurance to members, but also sought to preserve and nurture the German-Swiss culture, language, and literature. In 1873, the Swiss Society affiliated itself as a branch society with the Gruetli Bund der Vereinigten Staaten von Nord Amerika, which later became the North American Swiss Alliance. In 1881, the Society reorganized as the Schweizer Verein von Cleveland, Ohio. In 1885, the Swiss Society in Cleveland was elected as the executive society for the North American Swiss Alliance. By 1942, the group officially adopted the English name of Swiss Society and was still in operation in 1994. The Swiss Ladies Aid Society was closely associated with the Swiss Society and was originally known as the Schweizer Frauen Unterstuetzungs Verein. It was founded in 1887 in order to support women who were Swiss born, of Swiss descent or married to a Swiss man, and to provide health insurance, comradery, and promote efforts to maintain the German-Swiss language. Eventually the Ladies Aid Society also became an affiliate of the North American Swiss Alliance. The collection consists of minutes, financial records, and member policies. The collection includes the records of the Swiss Ladies Aid Society. | | | | Call #: | MS 4683 | | | | Extent: | 6.60 linear feet (6 containers, 11 oversize volumes) | | | | Subjects: | Swiss Society (Cleveland, Ohio). | Swiss Ladies Aid Society (Cleveland, Ohio). | Swiss -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Swiss -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Swiss -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Genealogy. | Swiss Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Women -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies and clubs. | Friendly societies -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Clubs -- Ohio -- Cleveland.

Early members included DuMont Grant, advertising manager of Halle Brothers Company, and Freda Gonder, Belle Hoffman, and Ruth Jenkins of the May Company.

In addition to professional concerns, the group maintained an extensive social schedule, including benefit activities and community contests. Betty Ott was an active member of the club.
