Knights and Ladies of Honor
The Knights and Ladies of Honor were an American fraternal benefit organizations in the late 19th and early twentieth century.
== History ==
The Knights and Ladies of Honor originated as a splinter group of the Knights of Honor, a fraternal secret society founded in 1873. In 1875 the Knight of Honor created an auxiliary, the Degree of Protection, open the wives, mothers, widows and unmarried daughters and sisters of members of the Knights of Honor, as well as male members of the parent order. The only a few lodges of the auxiliary were formed in the years between its creation and May 1877, when the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Honor abolished the auxiliary. On September 6, 1877 representatives of the lodges of the Degree met in convention in Louisville, Kentucky and decided to form their own organization. This convention elected a "Provisional Supreme Lodge", which included, among others, J. A. Demaree, one of the original founders of the Knights of Honor. The first official meeting of the "Supreme Lodge of Protection, Knights of and Ladies of Honor" was held on September 19, 1878 in St. Louis and the order was incorporated by the Commonwealth of Kentucky on the following April. On December 14, 1881 the General Assembly of Kentucky amended its charter slightly, changing its name from the Order of Protection of the Knights and Ladies of Honor to the Order of the Knights and Ladies of Honor.〔Stevens, Albert C.
