WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS, NO.122. The auxiliary to the G. A. R., which has done so much good to the old soldiers and their families, is the Woman's Relief Corps organized September 13, 1887, with the following twenty-one charter members: Jane Madden, Tamson Musser, Hattie Cadle, Martha Hill, Emma Banks, Vida Wing, Lillie Baird, Lyda Shafnit, Annie Kennedy, Annie Foulke, Ellen Coe, Jennie Wilson, Frances Richie, Anna Cummins, Sarah Hoover, Emma Dean, Addie Munroe, Barbara Detwiler, Era Klepper, Amanda Coriel and Ella Raff.
Since its organization many women have associated themselves with the Woman's Relief Corps and the history of this body of women covers so many acts of kindness and nobility as to preclude the mention of them for want of another volume of this work.
