There is a list of other clubs and organizations as well.

There was no special section on fraternal organizations, but in individual biographies, mention was made of the Masons, the Elks, the Knights Templar, the Shriners, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and Phi Delta Theta Secret Fraternity.

At this time, I have not found general information on fraternal societies in Nicholas and Raleigh Counties.
