The information noted below pertaining to the 1925 officers of the Ku Klux
Klan in Owen County, Indiana, was extracted from a document titled KU KLUX
KLAN OFFICERS, IDIANA RECORDS, 1925, compiled by Paul Brockman in 1994. It
is available at the Indiana Historical Society under call number SC2419.
Brockman noted that the Klan met monthly at an unspecified location. The
county population at the time was 13,000 and the Klan membership was not
noted.
Because each office of the Klan was identified with a unique name starting
with the letter "K," and because those names do not fit any known positions
of management, the office name was excluded herein. However, the names of
the individuals are in order of their appearance in the document and a level
of importance is suggested by their hierarchy.
