These documents, which are related to the Ladies' Orange Benevolent Association were found in a file of photos and documents brought to the museum in the early 1990s by Bertha Farquhar. They are just a small example of the many family history documents hiding in our family history and community history files. Eventually we will get them all properly catalogued and indexed so that they will be easier to find.
The Ladies' Orange Benevolent Association was the women's auxiliary to the Loyal Orange Lodge. The LOBA was founded in 1894 and supported many charities as well as a local orphanage.
