The first lodge in Kansas was instituted at Winfield , Cowley county, February 20 , 1877 . The following September, the grand lodge was instituted at Winfield, with W. G. Graham as grand dictator. T wo years later, at the annual meeting in June, 1879 , the grand dictator announced that there were then 43 lodges in the state, with a total membership of about 1,200. Sixteen of these lodges had been organized within the preceding year, and during the same period the membership had nearly doubled. After a few years there came a lull in the growth, and finally the order actually declined. On January 1 , 1910 , there were but 1,234 subordinate lodges in the United States, with a membership of 21,603. Up to that time the order had disbursed in benefits $94,945,399.
