The club votes to disband
The Bend Bulletin · May 13, 1924
In the story: 5. For the use of all, 1923–1929.
After a year of inactivity, the Emblem Club’s stockholders voted to wind up the organization and sell its riverfront home.
The decision came at the annual meeting on Monday night. The Bulletin reported it the next afternoon, under a headline that left little doubt about the club’s direction: “Pioneer Club Will Disband, Members Vote.”
Seven directors were elected to arrange the liquidation: H. E. Allen, H. A. Miller, E. P. Mahaffey, George A. Jones, J. M. Herbert, R. B. Hamilton and J. C. Rhodes. The property was the former A. M. Drake home, a log building with a ballroom overlooking the river.
The report describes the club’s later activities as mostly social and gives a membership limit of fifty. Its 1913 founding date differs from the newspaper notices that already named the club in 1912.
