The society was organized
in the year 1900 for the purpose of cheering the sick and aged in Phoenix
by visiting and carrying fruit and flowers to them; also for relieving
the poor in numerous ways, and for sending flowers to the hospitals. They
bear the royal colors of purple and white; their motto: “ In His Name”.

Many thanks to
Berit
Taggart for contributing this information. Berit is researching
the following names and would love to hear from anyone on them...Becker
and Collison.
"Both families resided in Oswego county (Schroeppel Census 1860, 1865,1880
) from the mid-1800's through early 1900's. Information has been slim so
far, but I am undaunted!"
