1908 Social & Labor History Archive – 2-Piece Lot: Odo de St. Amand Masonic Voucher & National Iron Bank Check
Up for sale is a uniquely compelling two-piece historical archive from 1908 capturing a rare glimpse into the daily, behind-the-scenes social operations of the Odo de St. Amand Commandery No. 12 Knights Templar in Morristown, New Jersey.
This matching pair documents a $1.50 payout issued to a local woman, Miss Nettie Kronenberg, for domestic work supporting a chapter event.
This Two-Piece Historical Lot Includes:
  1. Official Treasurer's Voucher: An internal financial ledger sheet detailing the precise purpose of the expense. The handwritten line explicitly reads: Paid to Miss Nettie Kronenberg for "serving refreshments and washing dishes," totaling $1.50.
  2. Cancelled National Iron Bank Check: The actual, physical banking check drawn on the historic National Iron Bank of Morristown, NJ, made out directly to Nettie Kronenberg for $1.50. The check features authentic 1908 regional banking cancellation marks, stamps, and a reverse endorsement.  
  3. Why This Collection is Unique:
    Turn-of-the-century fraternal documents that explicitly record the labor of local women are quite uncommon, as most archives only list male members. This lot provides a beautiful snapshot of local Edwardian-era community life.
