THE LADIES OF THE MACCABEES OF THE WORLD.



    This order was introduced into Faulkton in November, 1897, and a live

working Hive of twelve members secured, which was soon increased to

seventy-five, fifty of whom were benefit members.



    A fire in which their lodge room, charter and paraphernalia were destroyed

was a hard blow to the organization. The social members soon dropped out and by

reason of that and the removal of benefit members there are at the present time

only thirty-five members, with the following officers:



Inez Armstrong, Lady Commander.

Millie L. Ellis, Lieutenant Commander.

Emma Burge, Record Keeper.

Mattie Colgrove, Finance Keeper.

Emily Niemeyer, Chaplain.
