Falconer, Supreme Vice President of the Woodmen of Union, to Michael Gladden, Jr., a deputy of the Union. In the letter, Falconer urges all local deputies and officers to attend the Deputy and Officers' School, a instructional course for employees of the Woodmen of Union held in the Woodmen of Union Building, located at 501 Malvern Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas, between May 11-16, 1931. The Woodmen of Union, founded in 1883, was a fraternal benefit association that offered insurance benefits for its members and also participated in various social activities. <br /><br />Michael Gladden, Jr. (1899-1982) was the executor of the estate of George W. Oden (1862-1939), a successful businessman and citrus grower in Apopka, Florida. Gladden was born in South Carolina in 1899. He married Elizabeth Gladden and together they had a son, William, who was born around 1904. According to census records, the Gladden family had moved to Jacksonville as early as 1910 and then moved to Apopka. After Oden's death in 1939, Gladden continued to manage the legal documents of Oden's estate. Type Text Source Original letter from William H.

Gladden Box 413 Apopka, Florida Dear Deputy: The Deputy and Officers' School, held for instruction of the Employees of the Woodmen of Union in the Woodmen of Union Building, Hot Springs, Arkansas, convenes May 11-16 inclusive. The Supreme Officials are urging all the deputies and officers of local lodges attend. In the Insurance World, as in other fields of endeavor, good salesmanship requires that the salesman be "on the job" and intelligently inform his prospects of what he sells. A mistake not only lessens the possibility of further sales, but, weakens the influence of the salesman and the Company he or she represents. Remember that intelligent deputies, and officers, are assets; uninformed deputies and officers are liabilities. We want assets; we can not hold to liabilities. Come to the Deputy School May 11-16 and help us maintain the high standard which the Woodman of Union hes already attained. Kindly inform us of your intention at the earliest possible date so that your name may be included on our record. With best wishes, I am Fraternally yours, William H.

Six months have passed. I have written even since then and I did not here until this week when I got this letter which I have enclosed in here. Will you please say to Mrs. Ella Wall (which is my husbands sister) that I am not at Florence (my home) at this time I've been here since November my girls school will close in June after which I'll be at home in Florence S.C. Now if I have to go there before that time to get the Papers that they refer to will cost me $32.20 because I'll have to come back up here as I am here with the girl until she is out of school. I don't know what they will do about it. I have papers etc. put up and no one is to go in there. Everything has been put away carefully. Please ask her what she wants me to do about it. She was sick. Is she better now? Thanking you in advance for this favor. Respectfully, Daisy P.
