Title: Women Of Woodcraft Montana
Post by: tornado on Friday 17 July 20 10:04 BST (UK)

Seeking help to find out more about the social history of the organisation "Women Of Woodcraft" in the wild west Montana around 1903. My ancestor Eliz Ellen Hichens was a member then. She also ran a "Trading Post " there. I have not been able to locate any Montana records about her involvement here. Any support is appreciated . Thank you .
