    1. Sons of Temperance
    2. Hi everyone Has anyone heard of this group. I could find very little info. online about them. I found two references to MO. and there were more obscure ones concerning help org. for problem drinkers. However, there was no specific reference to the org. and its particulars. I have two pages in my notes about the group. This is from "Philadelphia, Tennessee, Old and New, 1822-1964. There are hand written page numbers on the pages: 55 and 56. (This was sent to me so I am unsure what this is referenced to. I believe it is a book, if I am wrong please let me know) ".....on Nov. 13th, 1851, the Jones division of the Sons of Temperance was born." This was in Philadelphia. "The main objective of the organization was to encourage those who did't drink alcoholic beverages, to never do so, and those who did drink.......to refrain from doing so. No one may be admitted to the organization without signing a pledge of total abstinence." There were a lot of rules and regulations. I will include the list of people, if anyone wants more details, contact me. Milton Y. Heiskell, P.W.P. William C. Nelson, W.P. Charles Cannon, W.A. Walter Julian, R.S. John M. Fleming, A.R.S.
