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.

KENDALL Supreme President HON. JOHN L. WEBB Supreme Custodian The Woodmen of Union, L.S.A. A FRaternal Benedt Association-Supreme Office: [?] Springs, Ark. Office of WILLIAM H. FALCONER, Supreme Vice President W. O. U. BUILDING -:- -:- HOT SPRINGS NAT'L PARK, ARK. April 29, 1931 Mr. M. 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. Falconer, Supreme Vice President, Woodmen of Union. rse African American Apopka Deputy and Officers' School Falconer, William H. fraternal organization Gladden, Michael, Jr. Hot Springs, Arkansas Malvern Avenue Mundy, Carol E.
