In their words

Quoted character for character from the printed page, with the page it is on.

Kaster, K-a-s-t-e-r, was president, and he lived up there in that little green house by Lewisburg across from the Grange.

Lorna Grabe, #1 Lorna Grabe , p. 32

So the Lewisburg Grange was where North Corvallis Farmer's Group Union was located, and the names and phone numbers you got here are kind of the principal characters in preserving the building.

Lorna Grabe, #1 Lorna Grabe , p. 34
