     “At Landmann’s Hamilton Park three protective and benevolent societies – the Society Herrmann Brethren, the Independent Social Reform Verein and the Independent German Bundes Verein – were engaged in festivities, the proceeds of which are for a widow’s and orphan’s fund, which has been created as an auxiliary of these three societies.  The Glee Club Columbia and other kindred societies participated and assisted in the festivities.”
