flee in the gift of the order, being

and for the current year she will be
the leading officer of this great society
which has local chapters all over the
country.

The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1909-10-08

local chapter of the P. E. O.'s will
feel greatly elated that enc of their
members has been SO horored and
all citizens will extend sincere con-
CALCULATIONS to Mrs. Reeves for her
success.
The P. E. o. society Is distinctly a
ladies organization and is independ mt
of any other society, not being an
auxiliary of any lodge of men. The
Keokuk chapter is an active one and
does much good along the lines of the
work laid cut for the organization. A
short time ago the state meeting of
the order was held in Keokrk, at
which time the finest gathering of la
dies ever in Keokuk, was here.
The honor bestowed upon Mrs.
Reeves this morning by the greatest
gathering of P. E. o. members in the
country, is one of particularly great
magnitude.
