General George G. Meade Corps No. 61 was organized for the purpose of assisting and caring for the Union soldiers and their dependent ones. We send a yearly donation to our Woman's Relief Home at Evergreen near San Jose. We assist at the funerals of our deceased comrades by giving Flag Service. We do a great deal of patriotic work, visit schools on Washington and Lincoln's Birthdays and Flag Day; also Memorial Day; present Flags to Sunday schools where needed. We have always entertained the Army and Navy boys in great numbers by giving them house parties and
dancing. Our meetings are held in Washington Hall, Civic Auditorium. Any loyal woman over sixteen is eligible to join our corps.
