The Knights of St. John wore military style uniforms.
Rev. John Cavanaugh, president of the University of Notre Dame gave an address at the Grand Banquet at Cedar Point on June 23. On Friday night, a grand military ball was held at the Coliseum at Cedar Point, with the Knights of St. John in full uniform.
The field and staff officers for the 1st Battalion, 5th District of Ohio, were all residents of Sandusky. William Busam served as Colonel; Emil Meyer was Senior Major; Joseph Meyer was Junior Major; Lieutenant Colonel was Carl F. Joerger; Anthony Joerger was Commissary; and Adjutant was Benjamin Erney. The Sandusky Commandery of the Knights of St. John, No. 49, had their photograph taken on the steps of the Sandusky Library.

Benjamin Erney was my dad's first cousin. Uncle Ben and my grand-father Wilhelm Daniel, were in business together, building houses. My grandfather died ca 1920and in 1924 Uncle Ben built the house that my mom and dad moved into when they returned from their honeymoon; the house I grew up in, at 1126 Fifth Street.
