gram Held at Home of Mrs.
R. B. Hayes Monday.
The local unit of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union met
Monday afterncn at 230 at the home
of Mrs. R. B. Hayes. A good attend
ance, around fifteen in number, was
seen. Preceding the "Memorial Pro
gram," which was the main part of
the meeting, a short business meet
ing was held, Mrs R. B. Hayes, presi
dent, presiding.
Miss Olive Gass served as chair
man of the program which served as
a memorial for two of its outstand
ing and long members Miss Eliza
beth Spangler and Miss Minnie Nick
um. In memory of Miss Nickum, who
was called to her heavenly home re
cently, .the consecration hymn was
sung as a fitting description of her
character. Mrs. Pearl Mann, one of
Miss Nickum's most valued friends,
spoke on the life of the Masonic
Home resident.
Miss Spangler, by her devotion and
service for the W. C. T. U., has made
a record that will probably never be
equaled. As treasurer of the W.C.T.
U. for twenty-three years, the pres
ent members all paid grateful tribute
to her by singing her favorite song,
"Win Them One By One," and the
scripture that she loved very dearly
was given that of the twenty-third
psalm, this being given In unison.
Mrs. Flora B. Arn; Mrs. Julia Troop,
past president, and Mrs. Robert B.
Hayes, present president, all gave
short talks describing and depicting
the life of one so faithful to the order
and one who will be considerably mis
sed in the work of the W.C.T.U.
Miss Olive Gass read a letter of
condolence to the W. C. T. U. on the
loss of Miss Spangler from the union
by Mrs. Emma Olson of Weeping
Water. Mrs. Olson, who had been a
frequent visitor and attendef at the
meetings of the organization, was a
very close friend of Miss Spangler.
The Memorial Program was closed
with the singing of the the song,
"Blessed Be The-Tie That Binds,"
and the pronouncement of the W. C
T. U. benediction.
The afternoon climaxed with the
serving of a covered-dish luncheon by
those present.
