and Caleb Cr Hood, acted as sec
retary The first elected officers
were Nathan Linton, president;
William I. Rakestraw, recording
secretary; Thomas Wood, corres
ponding secretary, and Cleb C.

“The original constitution was
limited to 15 members, but was
changed later, to admit more
families,” Miss Chambers con

day included representatives
from Farmers’ Clubs of Solebury,
Wrightstown,' Cecal, Doe Run
and Flagg’s Manor.
Following the morning session
a picnic dinner was served, with
the tables laden with an abun
dance of food prepared by the
ladies.- Inclement weather pre
vailed throughout the day, but'
during the lunch period and
early afternoon the attendance
was increased by a steady flow of
new arrivals.
The closing address consisted
of a paper prepared and read by
John I. of Chatham,
Chester County, who recalled his
connections with the organiza
tion during the early years of its
existence His talk was cut short
by a steady downpour of rain,
and many persons packed their
baskets, went to their waiting
teams and started for home.
Those who remained gave" a
hand in cleaning up the grounds
and removing the decorations,
which was finished by eafing
the juicy strawberries on the
speaker’s stand banner.
