Etna, Pa., Iune 9, 1918 CROATIAN FRATERNAL UNION OF AMERICA The present Croatian Fraternal Union Guardian Angeli' Lodge 4 of Etna was organized April 22, 1894 at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Nick Romac, Butler St. with an initial enrollment of 49 members. The leaders of the Etna organization were among the first in mak- ing preparations and laying the foundations for the present day Croatian Fraternal Union. At the very first Supreme Board meeting of the Croatian Union, the Etna Branch was designated as Lodge No. 4. Meetings were first held in Hartman's Hall on Freeport St. until the Croatian Hall was built in Millvale. During the course of the meetings in Millvale, this Lodge absorbed two other units of the old NCS lodges 54 and 163. The LODGE HOME OF ETNA CHARTER Lodge 1 Ncw Fro t-Dedicated June 6, 1948 ggi? latter had its own social rooms and club charter which now passed on to Lodge NO. 4. These quarters at 177 Butler St. soon became too small for the consolidated lodge and so a movement was started to build a new lodge home. The new home was completed just before the lvorld War I building restrictions were imposed and it served until 1957 when the State's highway program necessitated its removal and the building of our present Home. From its earliest days the Lodge had been an exponent of all facets of fraternal activity -sports, cultural, and social. Etnais Charter Lodge from the modest 49 initial members has grown to a membership of 586 senior and 451 junior members for a grand total of 1037. Mr. Mark Vinski, in his article written for the 75th Anniversary Celebration of Lodge No. 4 held at the Etna Croatian Hall, 30 Grant Ave. Etna, stated Today, we commemorate our 75th Anniversary. We must, and gladly do pay homage to the hardy pioneers of our Lodge and Society who gave freely of themselves and what was theirs for this most noble cause . . . seeking neither compensation nor recognition. May we prove ourselves worthy successors and may our labors bring an equal measure of solace, satisfaction and stimula- tion to our progeny.
