Certificate of Membership, Church Debt Society of the Church of Our Lady of Grace, Hoboken, N.J., 1880. Printed leaf, 3" wide x 4-5/8" high. Two examples with same engraving on front but with varying text under each.
The certificate was for a monthly contribution of ten cents or larger. It has a blank line for the holder's name to be entered; both copies here are blank. Also, if the certificate was used it was to be stamped with the seal of the church; both are blind stamped. See 2007.047.0003 and .0004 for differing examples from 1881 and 1882.
Society organized at the request of Bishop Corrigan who is also listed at the bottom: P. Corrigan, Pastor, 170 Willow St., Hoboken.
The varying front text suggests these cards were created as a set and likely as twelve in the set.
