Midlothian, Texas, March 1.
Midlothian has a new civic organization, a business
and professional woman's club formed Wednesday. Mrs.
Loneta Guinn was selected president; Mrs. H. S.
Usry, vice president and reporter and, Miss Alice
Franks, secretary  and treasurer. Miss Lois Dillard,
Mrs. R. M. Lloyd and Mrs. Edith Sewell were
appointed to draw up a constitution and by-laws.

The projects the club will work on this spring are
to secure clothing for the unfortunates, create
civic pride and establish a downtown ladies
restroom.

Charter members of the organization are Mrs Loneta
Guinn, Miss Eunice Gouger, Mrs. M. P. Warren, Miss
Alyee Franks, Miss Mary Beth Franks, Miss Flora
Price, Miss Mary Price, Mrs Edith Sewell, Mrs Lee H.
Bundage, Mrs H. S. Usry, Mrs J. B. Faither, Mrs Ned
Holland, Mrs Frank Reeves, Mrs Ollie Lee Pennington,
Miss Alma Cook, Miss Lois Dillard, Mrs Carl Young,
Mrs. Bill McElroy, Mrs R. M. Lloyd and Mrs Max
Carmichael.

NOTES:
I typed the article exactly how it was written
(spelling etc.) I recognize the Gouger, Sewell and
McElroy names as living nearby (at least according
to the census) to my Franks families. Mary Beth
Franks married Edward Aycock (who also lived in
Ellis Co) and Alice Franks married George Jackson.
Mary Beth and Alice were the daughters of C. B.
Franks who was a hardware merchant in Midlothian. C.
B. was the oldest brother of my great grandfather,
Robert Franks. The entire family is first in Ellis
Co. in 1900. J. F. Franks was my gggrandfather. He
owned a cafe and got married a lot. Kind of like a
hobby, I guess. ;)
