HERNDON, Va, Jan. 20.-With
half a century of public service
behind it, Herndon Fortnightly
Club, said to be one Of the two
oldest organizations of its kind in
Virginia, is starting its 51st year.
The outstanding monument to
the perseverance Of members
throughout the years since It's or
ganization in 1889 is the present
town library, a brick building To-
Gated in the center of the town,
surrounded by large lawn of ap-
proximately an acre and general
layout that would be a credit to a
town much larger than Herndon.
Ten local women started the club,
four of whom are living now. One,
Miss Maria r. Bready, still lives
in Herndon, and Miss Ann Thorn
ton lives in Washington, Miss Ida
Castleman in Baltimore and Mrs.
John Barker, Newport News. Other
original members were the Misses
Lula and Virginia Castleman the
Misses Ellen and Catherine Thorn
ton. Mrs. Florence Duffy and Mrs.
J. McKeene.
Meetings at first were held at
the old Herndon Seminary. and In
order to carry out the object of
the club, "the mutual improve
ment of its members in literature,
art, science and the vital interests
of the day." members decided to
buy books together, and an initial
collection of 40 was purchased.
Finally, through solicitations, more
than 1000 books were accumulated,
and in 1900 Miss Virginia Castle
man, who had finished a course in
library work at Drexel Institute,
offered to catalogue the books. She
further suggested the collection be
converted into town library, a
