The following were charter members: Miss Anna Kleist, Miss Celeste Miller, Miss Carrie McClun, Mrs. Robert McInturff, Mrs. H. E. Carr, Mrs. Mary A. Mills, Mrs. Lyda Taylor, Mrs. Susan Whitacre.

In January 1923 the state president Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith had charge of a parlor meeting held at the home of Mrs. Carrie Hill.

Mrs. Mary Mills was a most efficient president for a number of years. Since 1931 Mrs. C. E. Dice has served as president.

After the death of Mrs. Mary Flater in 1931, the Union established a Memorial fund in her honor which is sent to the Council Bluffs Christian orphanage, a home in which she took much interest.
