Key terms

The societies, movements and institutions the sources take for granted — what each one was, and where the archive’s sources name it.

How to read this page. The definitions are reference notes written from general histories; they are not drawn from the archive and do not describe any person in it. The source counts are the archive’s own: a source is listed under a term when its headline or transcription uses the term. A mention is not membership.

Irish societies

The organised Irish-American world: benefit orders, republican clubs, language and women’s societies.

Ancient Order of Hibernians

AOH · in America from 1836

The largest Irish Catholic fraternal order in America: sick and death benefits for members, St. Patrick’s Day parades, and steady support for Irish nationalism.

Membership was limited to Catholics of Irish birth or descent. The order was organised in numbered local divisions under county and state boards, which is how its officers appear in the Butte papers.
