I am working on a Enfield Mother’s Club display for the Country Faire, May 11, 2019. I would like pictures of the members listed below or information on the Mother’s Club please contact me – Sue Thompson, Enfield Town Historian: Historian@townofenfield.org; 607-272-6412; Enfield Town Clerk’s Office.
A little history of the Club….Out of the stressed day to day existence of the beginning of the depression years of the 1930’s, there arose the idea by Reverend Dutton S. Peterson and his wife, Martha, that there was a need in behalf of the women of local Enfield families to have some diversion from the duties and plain hard work that made up their lives.
It began with a core of eleven women** who went to Lisle, New York for a week’s vacation in August of 1933. Club meetings were bimonthly at members’ homes and consisted of a meal with a business meeting followed by some form of casual entertainment.
The club flourished through the years until the 1980’s when the last of the original members were gone and the requirement of every day life changed radically from those of fifty-some years earlier.
