What the source supports

That a club named for both Millwood and Berryville held a social in December 1911 at a hall the report calls the Fishermen's Hall.

Uncertainty

The wording is a transcription of the People's Journal, which condenses some entries; the newspaper OCR was not re-read for this claim. The printed page was not recorded. What kind of club it was, who belonged and how long it lasted are not stated. The report does not say who owned or ran the Fishermen's Hall, and no link between the hall and the Galilean Fishermen Society is claimed.
