PEPACTON GRANGE NO. 1407
Pepacton Grange No. 1407 was organized November 20, 1916, by Brother George E. Ballard, Deputy of Delaware County at that time. It had twenty-six charter members. This was a flourishing grange for several years then interest failed and it became nearly dormant for four or five years. In 1935 through the efforts of Deputy Cleveland and Brother H.G. Shaver, grange spirit was again revived and Pepacton Grange is now one of the leading granges in the present membership of 133.
