Ladies reading group in Knoxville, Pennsylvania. Front: Matie Trexler, Mary Conrad. Second row from left: Emma Starkey Lugg, Ada Roberts Edgcomb, Emma Myers Young, Clara Buckbee. Third row from left: Addie Edgcomb Edgett, Effie Reynolds Beach, Mary Burch, Lizzie Jones, Ella Parker Edgcomb. Not a cooking group, but they called themselves the boiled dinner club because on meeting days they fixed their family meal ahead of time so they could have time to discuss literature they read.
