Historien om Sons of Norway:

Den første loge blev stiftet i Minneapolis den 16de Januar 1895 etter initiativ fra emigranter fra bl.a. Dragsten i Selbu, se Stifterne av Sons of Norway.
I 1900 var tre loger blit stiftet og ordenen blev da oprettet. Den har nu ( i 1928) 296 loger i 15 forskjellige stater samt i Canada, med tilsammen ca. 25.000 medlemer. Ordenens formaal er gjensidig hjelp og støtte i sygdom og nød samt bevarelse af norskdom. Medlemmerne er berettiget til sygehjælp, og de kan ogsaa erholde livsforsikring i beløb fra $250 til $10.000 til meget rimelige priser. Ordenens livsforsikring er baseret paa den saakaldte "American Experience Mortality Table," der benyttes af de fleste store selskaber her i landet, og værdsættelsen af dens policer har i de senere aar vist en reserve af 130 procent. Ordenen har for nærværende 11.000 assurancemedlemmer og ca. 14.000 medlemmer uden assurance, og det samlede assurancebeløb er ca. 10 millioner dollars. Siden ordenens stiftelse er der blit udbetalt til assurancemedlemmers efterladte $497.899.79. Ordenen optager som medlemmer mænd. og kvinder af norsk byrd i alderen mellem 16 og 60 aar, Organisationen er inddelt i 5 distrikter, hver under et lokalt styre.
