This small collection tracks the history of the IAC Grange from 1909 until its dissolution in 1939. It contains letters, pamphlets, and other publications regarding general Grange laws and procedures, information on state grange proceedings and business, meeting minutes, random financial reports, and other administrative records. The correspondence is mainly to and from Ada Hayden, the local's secretary. It concerns dealings between the state and local granges, letters to other locals asking for the names of their members attending Iowa State College, and the debate in the late 1920s regarding whether or not to continue the local. Distinguished members of this local grange included Perry Holden, Louis Pammel, Ralph K. Bliss, Charles F. Curtiss, H.H. Kildee, and Martin M. Mosher.
