Country Homemakers'
Club Records (Cass County, N.D.), 1913-1966 (Mss 181)
History
The
Country Club began around 1912. In 1924, its name was changed to
the Country Homemakers' Club. The club was located in the Amenia
area of Cass County, N.D. It was considered unusual for the time
because it was the only one in Cass County that had two meetings a month-
"one a social and one a business." "The club consists of women who
stand out individually as real leaders." Some prominent members through
the years included Mrs. William Guy, Mrs. Albert Sinner, Mrs. John Sinner,
Mrs. Leo Sinner, Mrs. A.D. South, Mrs. Eben Chaffee, Mrs. Ralph Smith,
Mrs. A.J. Carlson, Mrs. Leo McIntyre, Mrs. Lawrence Langer, Mrs. Joe Askew,
and Mrs. Ralph Grommesh. The Country Homemakers' Club was active
in cooking, sewing, and community projects throughout the 1920s through
the 1950s. It appears to have disbanded sometime in the 1960s.
