It is a distinctively American order. The order had its origin from a small number of actors, theatrical and bus inessmen, boon companions, who were accustomed to gather at frequent Intervals at a hotel in Seattle. Among this number were George and Frank Considine who were then establishing their chain of vaudeville theaters which is now known as. the Sullivan and Considine circuit. This little coterie finally formed a club and as the membership of their organization grew, some left to make their homes in other -parts of the country.' Then it was suggested that the organization be made a perma nent fraternal order, so that the men who first conceived the idea might have the benefit of association with the society wherever they might be. The little club of the founders had been known by various names but when it was decided to incorporate the organization , under the laws of the state of Washington, the present name of the society, The Fraternal Order of Eagles, was chosen. George Considine was the first wor thy president of Seattle aerie and the organization soon spread, aeries being formed in other cities in Washington and In points further east. ; Mr. Con sidine was later elected grand worthy president of the order. The order now has a membership of more than 350,000. Bridgeport aerie was organized June 5, 19 03. T. J. Carr claims the dis tinction of having been the first mem ber of the order In Bridgeport. He Joined New York aerie. John A. Shea, proprietor of Sltea's hotel in Main street, was the first Bridgeport man to be initiated into the order in Connecticut He Joined New Haven aerie and Col. T. J. Murphy was In itiated into New Haven aerie a short time afterward. 'jt 3 JOHN A. SHEA First Bridgeport Man Initiated Into the Order in Connecticut Martin J. Gray of New Haven and Henry L. Norris, the latter then city clerk of New Haven, first undertook the work of Interesting Bridgeport men in the order with the view of founding an aerie here. By letters and visits to John A. Shea, T. J. Carr, Col. Murphy, D. J. O'Connor and F. J. Dlgney they gathered a nucleus to secure a charter. It was intended to start the order with a charter list of 100 names but many more were secured before the charter was closed. Besides those already mentioned a number of those prominent in organ izing the aerie were: Attorney Hen ry K. Shannon, Dr. D. H. Monahan. Dr. C. A. Ryder, John H. Spittler and Thomas F. Owens, the latter now deceased. Attorney Shannon was the first wo: thy president of the order and he held office for two. years doing much to place the local aerie on a sound financial basis and to increase the membership.. In recognition of his services in assisting In organizing the aerie Frank J. Digney was chosen first past worthy president Bridgeport aerie now has a mem bership of . 1,340 and the plan of the members is to increase this number to 1,500 before the end of the year. The aerie owns its own meeting hall and club room formerly the old Madison hall property and is the wealthiest as well as the largest in membership of the aeries east of the Mississippi river. 2 : & i ' -V 4 ...
