I just rec'd a copy of an obit for my gg uncle, William C. Neff, who died 27 May 1919 in Philadelphia. Among the many organizations he belonged to one was the Anti-Cobden Club. I used "google" and found a few listings with that organization; however they were all obits from Philadelphia - nothing about the organization itself. William was a Vet with the City of Philadelphia. He also belonged to the Police Beneficial Association, 19th Ward Executive Committee, and employee of Police Van Stables and Recorder of Deeds Office. Can anyone shed any light on the Anti-Cobden Club? Barbara in Wilmington, NC "I've never met a tombstone I couldn't relate to....."

Barbara, Go to Google and type in Cobden Club - you'll be able to see what it was. >From: "Barbara McCormick" <geneslady@ec.rr.com> >Reply-To: PAPHILAD-L@rootsweb.com >To: PAPHILAD-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [PAPHL] Anti-Cobden Club in Philly >Date: Sat, 28 Jan 2006 11:23:54 -0500 > >I just rec'd a copy of an obit for my gg uncle, William C.
