Plaintiffs are members of a voluntary fraternal benefit association known as Bessemer Grove No. 1 of the United Ancient Order of Druids situated in the city of Bessemer, Gogebic county, Michigan. The local lodge was under the direction and supervision of the Supreme Grove of the United Ancient Order of Druids, a Louisiana corporation, with headquarters in Indiana. The so-called Supreme lodge never qualified to do business in Michigan, but provided the local lodge with rituals, a constitution and bylaws. The local lodge was organized for the purpose of fraternal, sick and death benefits.
