Young of which Sister Zina D. Young was treasurer; but Johnston's army coming here and the move South, as a direct result of it occurred in 1858, which interrupted the regularity of the work of the society wherever it had begun, and it was not until after the return of the people to their homes and when order was again restored that the society was more perfectly and permanently organized. It would be interesting to give many ot the incidents of those early days, what the sisters did to raise means and even to do plain sewing and quilting, old cotton stocking legs were raveled to get the yarn to sew with, also knitted and crocheted lace, and very small bits of calico were used to make quilts. Later on in the sixties Sister KlizaR. Snow, Sister Zina D. H. Young and others began visiting through the country places tn help organize and show the inexperienced sisters how to conduct their meetings. OBITUARIES.
