Mrs. Mellby organized our Ladies' Aid in the year of 1886. She was elected as its president and her home was a frequent place for its meetings. This organization was very simple without constitution or any set of rules and regulations. The meetings were held monthly. As distances were great the meetings were an all day affair and both men and women attended. Whenever possible the pastor was present and conducted the devotional exercises.Context
