Biographical History
The Maccabees, both men and women, had lodges in most of the small communities in the county and were quite active, primarily in doctoring the ill, providing relief for families in dire straits, and, otherwise, just socializing. Most had some kind of fund-raiser once or twice a year.
Ladies of the Maccabees founded by Adelphia G. Ward in Muskegon, Mich. in 1886. The first fraternal society for women in the U.S., it merged with the Knights of the Maccabees in 1926. By the turn of the 20th century the Ladies of the Maccabees had 85,000 members in units, or hives, across the U.S. and Canada.
