Some background of the Society from the internet is as follows: "The SONS OF TEMPERANCE, a national semi-secret fraternal society, organized a Cleveland lodge on 27 July 1847; branches existed in the city for nearly 40 years. The centralized order of the Sons of Temperance organized nationally in 1842 in New York, in the wake of the evangelical Washingtonian temperance movement. Its members pledged not to "make, buy, sell, nor use as a beverage, any spirituous or malt liquors, wine or cider." With private secret rituals and public meetings, the organization promoted mutual benefit and the improvement of character. Though Cleveland's lodge closed the society still exists today."
