Four benches at Woman's Club one longer one in old council chambers Marilynn Frey according to Sylvia Horan's book the bences were donated by the Fourth Street Methodist Church (of Washington DC?) with the provision that the Club is their custodian but they cannot sell them.

The bench in the old council chambers now fully restored Kathy Lehman had heard that the bench in the council chambers back folded down to facilitate stacking. Marilynn said this one is from the camp meeting. Georgette Cole will take pictures. A fundraiser is planned for June to raise money to refurbish the benches. |
