Terri L. Clemens, Kluxing in Korn Kountry: The 1920s KKK in Central Illinois, p. 109, “Lexington’s Klan Experience,” KKK was dominant, 1923-25, drove out a Catholic teacher and replaced with a Protestant. “wife beaters and ‘loose women’ were run out of town.” Members included the mayor, wealthy landowners. Lexington was already all-white and all-Christian.
