Yup, it's the female auxiliary or whatever of teh Masons. Or one of them. My mother belonged to it; it was big in her rural area. I don't know anything about it in Dauphin County, but the local masonic lodge ought to be able to tell you. They might have some basic biographical information; I don't know. This is not an ancient organization; if your "ancestors" belonged it, people who were members with tehm may still be around; talking to them will probably yield more information than whatever the organization might have in its files.
