Source notes
The March 4, 1921 Oregon City Enterprise reports a surprise banquet at the I.O.O.F. Hall in Oregon City, prepared by women of the Willamette Rebekah Lodge. It lists Mrs. Emma McGahuey among the committee members who planned and carried out the surprise.
Original excerpt: “Mrs. Emma McGahuey”.
Verification: the original University of Oregon-hosted PDF scan was downloaded, rendered and visually inspected on October 19, 2026. Printed page 8 confirms the newspaper title and March 4, 1921 issue date. The complete surrounding story and committee list confirm the exact surname and described activity. No exact banquet date is inferred from the relative phrase “during the past week.” This resolves the previously unverified OCR lead. Published, draft and trashed discoveries and source URLs were checked; this event is distinct from the existing 1914 Grand Lodge travel notice and 1916 dance committee item.
