John Porter asked the Bibb to
secure the services of a social worker for the village. Miss
Martha Dupree was sent from Macon, Georgia, to fill this
position. The needs of the village were so great that she asked
a group of the ladies in the village to meet with her to make
plans for organizing a Mother's Club. The
club was organized in May 1915, with thirteen charter members.
(Do you know the names of any of these thirteen ladies?) The
object of the club was to furnish food and clothing for the
needy. Clothes were made from material donated by Mr. James
Porter. A linen closet was established to lend sheets and towels
to the sick. This club is known today as the Porterdale
Woman’s' Club.
If you know the names, and dates if
known, of any of the ladies that belonged to this club please
