In May, 1913. after the organization of the Woodmen of the World in Oshkosh, Mrs. Anna T. Crawford, of Scottsbluff, came to Oshkosh and organized a Woodmen Circle called Oshkosh Grove No. 136. It had sixteen charter members with the following officers : Carrie M. Foster, Guardian ; Silvia Kiley. Adviser; Thora Van Newkirk. Clerk: Clara D. Nigh, Banker; Jeanette Wetherby, Attendant; Anna M. Swanson, Chaplain; Thyra L. Madison, Inner Sen.; Lillian Tutchinson, Outer Sen. ; Leroy Nigh and Anna Rose, Managers, and Dr. Morris, Physician. The present officers are very much the same : Carrie M. Foster, Past Guard; Anna Rose, Guard; Wilma Swanson, Adviser; Thora Van Newkirk, Clerk; Clara Nigh, Banker; Bernice M. Biss, Attendant; Anna M. Swanson, Chaplain; Francis Swanson, Assistant Attendant ; Grace Miller. Inner Sentinel; Thyra L. Madison, Outer Sentinel ; Jeanette Wetherby, Manager ; Dr. G. H. Morris, Physician ; Eva E.

Early in the fall of the same • year, they held a very impressive service at the unveiling of her monument, in Antelope Valley cemetery, all the members taking part. A small Circle, consisting of five members was organized at Lisco in 1911.
