THE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION – Page 572

The Benevolent Association has been in existence for many years and has done a great amount of 
good in assisting the poor of York.  The late Samuel Small was president of it, and gave 
liberally of his means.  Many thousands of dollars worth of provisions, clothing, wood and coal 
have been distributed among those deserving of assistance.  Judge David Fahs for several years 
past has taken a great and worthy interest in his work and has done much good.  He thus has 
contributed greatly to the comfort and happiness of many a deserving person.
