Unity and Friendship Society
Unity and Friendship Society
The Unity and Friendship Society was founded on September 17th, 1844. In their words, it was established "based
upon the principles of charity, for the benefit of ourselves in the hour of distress, affliction and death, and
for our widows and orphans in the time of need." Entrance required a prospective member to submit a letter
of intent, and be "recommended by three members in good standing." The letter was then read and voted
upon at two consecutive meetings. If the prospective member received a majority of votes at both meetings, they
were accepted.
