Description: Photograph showing three women acting in a play put on by the Clinton League, November 1924. The caption reads, "Mrs. Kinkead, Madame Delzell and Mrs. Wood as they appeared in "The Work House Ward," Nov. '24. Members voted this one of the cleverest bits of acting ever produced in the League. Mrs. Kinkead at this time was 64 years of age, Madame Delzell was 71 and Mrs. Wood 85." This image was included in a "Memory Book" compiled by Mrs. H. V.

Description: Photograph of children watching a Red Cross parade in downtown Columbus, Fall 1918. An accompanying caption describes the parade as follows: "During the World War (I) Period, Columbus club women were a unit in their support of all types of effort toward winning the war. The Red Cross was naturally the central agency from which most of the work was conducted and nearly all clubs maintained a Red Cross Unit. One of the most spectacular events of the period was the great parade which took place in downtown Columbus on a Sunday afternoon in the early fall of 1918. Beautiful floats displaying wartime slogans bore prominent officials of the Red Cross organization and the Federation of Women's Clubs. Behind the floats marched the white clad women of the various Red Cross units thruout the city. Each unit had been carefully trained to march and countermarch. Bands furnished wonderful music and the whole effect was both beautiful and inspiring. We don't remember how long we marched nor how far but it seemed many miles for the day was very warm and the white shoes that women of that period wore were not especially designed for comfort. Mrs. E.S. Ingraham was the very efficient leader of our Clinton Welfare League's Red Cross unit for this parade." This image was included in a "Memory Book" compiled by Mrs. H. V. Cottrell, historian for the Clinton League (sometimes called the Clinton Welfare League) from 1938-1943.
