Has anyone heard of the Beechworth Ladies' Benevolent Society which helped needy people with food clothing blankets and firewood? Also another ladies thng was Women's Christian Temperance Union both had a Minister chairing them. I am hoping someone has found information on these groups - it may be a way to find out something on the ladies..........I am sure my ggmum would have been involved in something during the day! What other ideas or confirmed groups does any one on this list have? I am keen to unearth something of Martha and Mary when I go south in March. Denise

Denise > Also another ladies thng was Women's Christian Temperance Union There is a paragraph on this in Beechworth A Titan's Field - have you got it? If not I can scan it as the same time as the poem. Nothing on the Benevolent Society. Kathy
