On the last day of the 1st Mo 1889 - 18 members
and a goodly No. of guests, including Friend
Comstock and daughter, Harriet Long and our
esteemed friend Sallie A. Gilpin, whose bright face
we are always glad to welcome amongst us, met at
the Cottage.

After a good dinner well served by the efficient
daughters of our hostess, the meeting was called
to order about 2' clock, with the reading of the minutes
of the last meeting held at this place and of
the previous meeting at Charlie Forest which were accepted.

Sarah E. Stabler sentiment "The past is
ours, for from all the vast accumulated knowledge,
we may learn to avoid errors, to practice
virtue, to live for others and thus add to the store
of knowledge from which the boys and girls,
the men and women of the future, may learn to do
their work far better than we can do."
