WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS.



    Phil. H. Sheridan Woman's Relief Corps No. 43 under territorial jurisdiction

and 19 South Dakota jurisdiction was organized May 24, 1888, with twenty-one

charter members as follows: Sarah B, Humphrey, Alice M. A. Pickler, Helen M.

Bissell, Hattie F. Douglas, Lottie A. McDearmon, Belle F. McCoy, Nettie F,.

Haskins, Susan C. Moulton, Retta H. Miller, Carrie B. Norton, Hester A.

Swearngen, Emma B. Miller, I/ydia M. Bonsey, Viola B. Wallace, Mary Etta

Talcott, Jane F,. Hughes, Martha Anderson, Mary E. Summy, Silvia G. Bottum, Alia

A. Bottum and Mattie M. Johnston.



    This organization has been one of the most devoted, successful and efficient

working Relief Corps in the west. Too much credit cannot be given for the

beautiful, commodious Grand Army hall, now worth two thousand dollars, and for

the sympathy and encouragement extended to our comrades in sickness and in

health, and for the most loyal support, when the last sad roll call has sounded.



    The following ladies have served as president of the Corps in the following

order named: Mrs. Humphrey, Moulton, McCoy, Pickler, Wallace, Finney, Stoddard,

Whipple, Hays, Rush, Miller and Mrs. Spencer, now acting president.



    This corps has also had the honor of having two state department presidents,

viz: Sue C. Moulton and Alice M. A. Pickler.



    The following are the officers for A. D., 1909:



Eliza Spencer, President.

Frances C. Champlin, Vice President.

Frances Hays, Junior Vice President.

Mary A. Finney, Secretary.

Emma Rice, Treasurer.
