On 3/20-1899 we wended our way by bare
fields and leafless trees to Oak Grove in snow
drift, the length of several panels of fence lay
in a sheltered place, the last remnant of the
mighty white expanse of the blizzard of Feb.
Our guests were Virginia Herves, Cornelia N.
Stabler, Margaret B. Magruder, Hannah B. Brooke,
Emma Waters , Mrs Edward Turner, Sarah R.
Janney, Sarah T. Moore, Mary Gilpin and
Alice Stabler. Several members were unavoidably
absent. Margaret S. Hallowell's sentiment
was from a Jewish paper

"Sincerity must always remain the ingredient
of all our actions, of our thoughts and their
expression. Insincerity is the curse of life and
cannot be smothered over by any effort"

Mary E. Moore's selection was a short allegorical
poem on "Troubles"

"We go, they say to those who mope
Who look on life dejected
And weakly say goodbye to Hope,
We go where we've expected.

Elizabeth G. Thomas read from "What all the
World is Seeking", "A kind act or a loving
service to another can not be given without bringing
a reward to the giver; we may minister as
truly to mental sickness as to bodily pain".

Anna F Gilpin said a friend wanted to know
how to exterminate Croton bugs in her kitchen,
