W. G. BRAMH M,
President of The State Association
of Elks of North Carolina.
Bern has been steady from the very
first, and the membership has ever
been enthusiastic and harmonious.
The members of New Bern Lode,
though their quarters on Broad street
were very comfortable, were not Bilia
fied to rent, and the idea of (ecuring
a permanent home was much discussed,
and on Jan. 5, 1904, a committee (im
posed of Bros. J A Brysn, W B B:ad-
T G Hyman. O Marks, Thos. C Dan
iels, Wm. Dunn, O H Guion and G A
Nicoll were appointed lo investigate
and report to the Lodge a plan for the
building of a permanent Elks IJome in
the city of New Bern. This committee
went to work and purchased the si'e
upon which our magnificent building
now stands, organised an Elks Construe
tion Co. and erected our present home,
which we completed and dedicated on
May 1st. 1908.
