Biographical history

Coles was chosen as the first President with Mrs. Elmer Duffett as Vice-President and Mrs. Jas. Coles as Secretary-Treasurer. The institute had an ambitious program with various committees struck to organize visits to the sick, support the local school, and establish a girls sewing club.
