The treasurer was Jesse Root Grant (1858-1934), son of President Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885). Jesse Grant was also assistant editor of the KFR Journal, an amateur monthly that the group published in Washington, D.C., 1873-1874. It was largely a satirical journal devoted to "fact, fiction, and fun." The society also held dramatic presentations and organized soirees and other festivities.
