The Rose Mission Band raised $10.00 and the Mite Box $4.00, as well as a Cotton Fund was established to obtain yards of cotton to make clothes for the missions. The Cotton Fund donations for 1915 listed Ervin Ramsay 10 yards of cotton and A.L. Rennie 10 yards of cotton. Each member made a donation as well. The price of cotton ranged from eight to ten cents per yard. It was distributed to the members of the society who sewed the cot¬ ton into garments. During the year 1915 it was recorded that the community women had made 63 dresses, 23 pairs of overalls, 43 shirts and eight skirts. The meetings were mostly held in the afternoon with a worship service opening with a hymn and scripture reading followed by prayer. Roll call would be answered by a verse of scripture. A different member at each meeting would present the study book. The members visited the sick or shut-ins, sent cards and gave treats and flow¬ ers. They also packed boxes for overseas relief and gave the Mission Band treats. WMS rallies would be held in a different community each year.
