Charlottesville Lodge
No. 389 B. P. O. Elks
was organized here October
1897 and is one of
the most prosperous of
this popular fraternal
organization. From the
day of its inauguration up to the
present time its career has been one of
unbounded success. The splendid new
home that it has just erected at a cost
of $20,000 speaks more for the healthfulness
of the order than any words
that we might pen in its praise. The
building is of old English colonial
architecture with four huge columns
in front. Its interior is beautifully
decorated and is divided into lodge-room,
parlors, library, card-room,
bowling alley, banquet hall, pool and
billiard parlors, hot and cold baths,
buffet etc. The Exalted Rulers have
been James B. Wood, Moses Leterman,
J. W. Fishburn, W. H. Wood,
H. M. Lewis, G. B. Goodyear, Stuart
Hanckel, T. C. Conlon, B. W. Leterman
and Joel M. Cochran who with
the following constitute the present
officers of the lodge. Esteemed Leading
