The first meeting of the crowd known
as the O. NJ. c. met at the home OF

Tuesday afternoon, June %, 1920.
At this meeting, the mothers are

attend. These were Mrs. j. l.. Mcleod.
Mrs. o. c. Oleson, Mrs. Brokaw, Mrs
Conner, Mrs. j. Z. Barber and Mrs.

The president gave the address of
welcome and Mrs. Myrtle Shuart gave
the first response which was enlarged
upon by each of the visiting members.
Letters were read from Mrs. Dottie
Saunders, of Avery. Idaho. and Mrs.
Maye Smith Bagge. of Fonda. Iowa.
All hearts We're Saddened by the
empty chair of one of the members
yet all recalled the many pleasant,
gatherings that "Abbie" had enjoyed
with them and the kind words and
deeds of the one who had gone on.
An hour or two of social intercourse
"reminiscences, fun and laughter filled
up tho time until refreshments were
served This caused Il slight lull in the
commotion but the enjoyment seemed
just as sincere and there was left no
doubt of the appreciation when the
cleared dishes were returned to the
kitchen. After this, all repaired to
the lawn where the photographer
caused likeness to he imprinted upon
a film which will go down in all history
as the first gathering of the o. NJ. G.
Wednesday afternoon the festivities
were transferred to the lovely home
of Mrs. Ida McCracken at which sew
eral invited guests were present. Much
of the time was spent in visiting and
the recalling of incidents of days gone
by.
During the program we listened to
an account of the first meeting held,
which instigated the idea of the present
o. NJ. c.. club. This was read by Mrs.
Maud Dyson and was taken from = The
Manila Times" OF 1904. The picture
taken at that time bears mute testi-
