These are pamphlet yearbooks of a women’s club in Lebanon, Laclede County, Missouri, or­gan­ized in 1898 as the Home Economics Club.  The yearbooks include the constitution and by-laws, ros­ters of officers and members, and committee assignments.

 

Mrs. Mary P. Wallace organized the Home Economics Club at Lebanon in the spring of 1898.  The name was changed to the Domestic Science Club in 1900.  As stated in the consti­tu­tion, the objects of the club were to improve conditions in homes and health, and to promote the teaching of domestic science in the schools.  Bi-weekly meetings included presentations and dis­cussions on household subjects.  The club had about seventy active members during the period represented by the yearbooks.

 

The Domestic Science Club became the Lebanon Women’s Club sometime between 1943 and 1950.  See Western Historical Manuscript Collection-Rolla collection number R299.
