| Abstract: | The Slovenian Benefit Society Slovenija is an independent Slovene-American benefit society formed ca. 1895 in Cleveland, Ohio, by a splinter group from Marijn Spolek, the first Slovenian lodge in the city. It provided insurance and organized both the first Slovenian men's chorus (Zora) and a gymnastics group which developed into the Slovenian Sokol (Slovenski Sokol). The collection consists of bylaws, minute books, account books, membership books, a ledger book, and a dues book. |
