An event of the year 1900 which must not be overlooked was the organization on February 19th of the Nez Perces County Pioneer Association, of which all persons might become members who settled in the County prior to or during 1877. The first officers were C. G. Kress, president: C. P. Coburn, vice president; Wallace B. Stainton, secretary; John N. Lindsay, treasurer; Edmund Pearcy, Robert Grostein, Joel Martin and M. A. Kelly, trustees. For the purpose of preserving as many as possible of the names of those who have toiled so long in the development of the County and done so much for its material and social up building, we give the membership roll of the society as follows:
