New York, 1895
The woman's Christian temperance union of Jamaica held their ninth annual meeting Saturday afternoon in the Reformed chapel. Addresses were made by the Rev. Edgar J. Tilton, Jr., Rev. C. S. Daniels, Rev. Mr. Watkins, and the Rev. Franz Hartig.
At the election for officers Mrs. Charles H. Harris was elected president; secretary, Miss Mary L. McCormick; treasurer, Mrs. Julia D. Phelps; secretary of the benevolent association, Mrs. Granville Yeaton. Miss Susie Montgomery and Miss Emma Smith were continued in charge of the loyal temperance league.
The secretary's report showed that the past year had been one of discouragement. The fair held in October only realized $120, and for the first time they are in debt. A cake sale was held after the meeting as a means of replenishing the treasury.
