FOURTH GENERATION

10. Charles HANKE was born between 1843 and 1847 in Belgium or "Brunswick" Germany.(4) (163) (48)(164) (165) The 1920 census indicated that Clara's father was born in Belgium and spoke Dutch. The 1870 census shows Charles born in Brunswick, with a father of foreign birth. I interpret this to be Germany. His naturalization records show his former allegiance to the Duke of Brunswick, Germany.

A Charles C. Hanke is buried Greenwood Cemetery Bellaire, showing birth as 1843. He was naturalized on 19 Sep 1865 in Belmont County, OH. (165) He was elected as N.A. of the Eureka Grove No. 23 United Ancient Order of Druids in May 1868 in Bellaire, Belmont Cnty, OH. (166) FRATERNAL ORDERS, in the U.S. as generally defined in law, voluntary nonprofit associations established for the mutual aid and sociability of their members. They are also called fraternal societies or benefit associations. These orders generally provide for the payment of death and other benefits, mainly through a form of insurance known as fraternal insurance. In this respect fraternal orders are the American counterpart of the English friendly societies that originated in the 16th century. Most U.S. fraternal orders, however, were patterned after certain European benevolent secret societies modeled on the order established by the Freemasons. These prototypes included such organizations as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Ancient Order of Druids, and the Ancient Order of Foresters, which were introduced into the U.S. in 1819, about 1830, and 1832, respectively. From these and similar associations fraternal orders of the U.S. derived their lodge system of organization and democratic form of representative self-government, their practice of doing business in confidential meetings, and their ritualism and social characteristics.
The first fraternal order of American origin was the Improved Order of Red Men, established in 1833, which included in its ritual many American Indian customs. During the latter half of the 19th century the number and size of fraternal orders in the U.S. greatly increased. A mark of their influence was the adoption of the lodge form of organization by a number of trade unions.
