HISTORY CLASS OF '76
The American History Class is probably the oldest club in the city. On
February 6, 1876, seven ladies met with Mrs. Gregory Dibble to discuss the
practicability of organizing a club fro the study of American history. As
a result, a class was formed, with president and secretary, the membership
being limited to twenty. With the exception of a few months,. the class
has met every week since. during the progress of years, its study has been
extended to include English and French history and the history of the
Dutch republic and many other countries. In 1894 the word
"American," was dropped from the name of the club, which has
been since known as the History Class of '76. Undoubtedly it is the oldest
club in the county. Meetings are held at the houses of the members--a
month at a place--the hostess acting as president. |
