228 A.O.K. of the M.C. During the spring of 1868 I assisted in organizing Washington Castle, # 2, A.O.K. of the M.C., and was elected its Vice Commander, and the following term occupied the Commander's Chair. The next term I entered the Grand Council and at a meeting of Past Commanders held January 14th 1872 I was elected District Deputy Grand Commander for Berks County, which position I occupied during the two years following. During these two years I instituted Castles at Monocacy Douglasville, Boyertown and two in the city of Reading. In 1872 I was elected Secretary of Washington Castle and continued in that position until the latter part of 1874 when the Castle disbanded and surrendered its charter.
