Those are nice. HH
 

According to quizlet:
In 1868, Oliver H. Kelley organized this group as a fraternity of brothers and their families. Soon the social atmosphere of their meeting was replaced by a political zeal. They sought to break the hold of railroad owners and middlemen who kept raising the price of farming. By the mid-1870s, there were meetings across the country. Members organized farm cooperatives and kept railroads and silo owners under watch. Due to their political clout, laws that regulated rates farmers could be charged for shipping by rail or using grain elevators were passed in many states.

Awesome finds!! Seems a very important yet unknown part of American history. Very unique.
