Organizations

The Rose Hill Farm Club was organized February 12, 1914 with twenty‑four members. The object of the organization was co‑operation for social, educational, and financial purposes. Executive officers were:

president, D.S. Neiman

Vice president, Gustav Zink

secretary, J.A. Graham

and treasurer, Oscar Elton.

The first club organized for the ladies was a Birthday Club. When one of the ladies was celebrating her birthday, they would meet and each members would bring a block that she had made for a quilt. By the time the club dissolved each lady had enough blocks to make a full size quilt.

When this group broke up, the ladies joined with the ladies from Haven Township in a group called "The Helping Hand". There, projects were to be available to anyone who needed help.

Eventually this group dissolved and the ladies formed the Everglad Homemakers Club, which was organized April 16, 1941 with eleven members. The Club was named by using the first initial from the names of some of the club members.

The first officers were:

president, Mrs. Avolt Grager

vice president, Mrs. Nels Elton

secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Clyde Jones.
