all the pleasure she has given to the
members of the association and their
guests.
Mrs William G.. Bentley. our most
excellent treasurer, reports an in
crease in our receipts over last year.
This is in a large measure due TO
the success of our excursion. together
with increased sums received from
gate fees and the sale of souvenirs
at jamestown. The dues OF the Mon
ticello and Drummond Town branches
We're RENTED at their request. so that
they might be applied to the special
work undertaken by those branches.
After paving for the year book. there
VIII be little. If any. money left in the
treasury for current expenses. /
therefore urge the members 20 pay
their dues as early as possible in 1911,
and trust that We Will unite in some
effort to free the association from
debt as soon as possible. / am sure
that il viii be gratifying to you 10
know that Mrs. bentley. who was
quite sick for several months. is Inn
proving.
The most serious loss that has come
to the association during the year
was in the death of our beloved pres
itcnt, Mrs. Joseph Bryan, who fell
on sleep at taburnum. on September
II, 1910. We shall greatly miss the
influence Of her charming personality
In our work Her optimism was CON
tagious. and her magnetic influence
was felt in every department OF our
work. ON account of i'll health she
was compelled 20 withdraw from the
active duties Of the presidency in
1908. but her solicitude for our pros
perity never waned, and her profound
concern for all that affected our well
fare continued to the end. Her best
memorial has been erected in the
hearts of those whom She so wisely
guided and with Nhom she was SO
intimately associated in the work OF
this association. Appropriate resolu-
tons, expressing sympathy for her
family and our sorrow at her loss.
v,1e adopted and VIII be embodied in
our wear book. which IL is proposed
By our committee shall he made a
memorial volume Of her life and
work, ! am sure that no one more
keenly feels their loss than I do. She
was always SO ready TO lend her cor
dial support and helpful advice. and
especially was this true during the
years OF preparation for our tercen-
tenary celebration, and. her prompt
ness to assist when able to do so in
the years which followed, I can never
forget Her last letter tn me was
written in commendation Of our pur-
pose 10 secure the John Marshall
house.
We extend to the families of those
OF our members who have died dur
ing the year our sincerest sympathy.
May love and harmony continue in
our ranks. and may the new year
bring prosperity and happiness 10
each member Of the association.
Respectfully submitted.
