This was a St. Peter social club that was formed about 1895 and existed until about 1915. RE note: No records for a Mary Mueller marrying a John Walters can be found at this time. Mary Walter (1880-1936, sometimes listed as Walters) was a daughter of John and Fredericka Walter of St. Peter. A woman named Margaret Mueller, 1870-1934, married John R. Walter; they lived in St. Peter. Anna Thomas may have been a woman named Anna Thomas, 1857-1934, who was the sister of William Haesecke.
