The Mutual Support Society of Starbuck, Manitoba, was founded in 1926 by Peter J.

In 1955 the membership was 855 including children. The burial aid, which was originally $30 per adult and $20 for children under 12, was $250 per adult and $150 for children in 1955. The annual membership fee was $2.00 for adults ($3.00 for one above 40 years of age) and $1.00 for children.
