Whenever we have the foresight to maintain a record of events, it can become a useful tool for future members to avoid past mistakes. If we do not know where we have been, how can we know where we need to go?
1879
We have a trophy in our clubhouse that was presented to the “Olean Gun Club” by Fred Eaton in 1879. I believe it is made from plated pewter. There is also a copy of the “Daily Press” dated Oct. 26, 1881 referencing the trophy. If the article can be copied, I will post it here in the future.
1921
According to a brochure published in 1950, the Olean Rod and Gun Club was first formed in 1921 and a newspaper article from 1999 states the club was incorporated in 1949.
