Sen thank you for sharing this, I was able to access the full article. While I had heard previously that some fraternal organization in particular those that were founded during the post-Civil War era had some connections to the Klan.
I'm glad the author brought this to light and provided some clear evidence based on their own historical documents.
I hope this perhaps serves as a learning opportunity that while the past cannot be changed its current membership can take a step forward into the future and work to address the mistakes of their past.
