TROUT LAKE CLUB POSTPONES MEETING
----------
President's Influence Felt In All Community Activities
----------

TROUT LAKE, Oct. 19. -- In respect to the memory of it's loved president, Mrs. Teresa Doherty, the Trout Lake Woman's club did not meet last Tuesday according to schedule, the meeting being postponed until Oct. 25, when it will be held as previously planned. Meeting of the Legion Auxiliary was postponed also, both Trout Lake stores remained closed Wednesday.
Mrs. Doherty was one of the chief organizers of the Trout Lake Woman's club and was it's first president. She was instrumental in getting the women of the valley together for the first meeting and at that time, July, 1931, she was elected president of the club. She was reelected each year for the next three years; in the spring of 1937 she was again chosen for the president and was reelected last spring. In all, serving as president for five of the seven years the club has been an organization. She was always a capable and willing leader working through the various channels of the club for the good of the community. During the period in which the club worked on the gym building project and in equipping the gym kitchen, she was an enthusiastic helper in all club activities.
Mrs. Doherty served as a member of the board of directors of the school district here for three years. She was, in fact, president of the board from 1935-35. Last spring she was appointed to fill the place left vacant by the absence of Mrs. Carl Pearson. She has always been active in cooperating in any way possible with the school affairs and gave much time and effort to this work during the years that the family lived here.
Mrs. Doherty was a member of the Trout Lake Grange and attended regularly until a few months ago. She has been a loyal supported of the 4-H and Scout work here. She has contributed generously to the work of the Ladies Aid and Missionary Society. There is, indeed, no community activity in which Mrs. Doherty did not take an interested and in most cases, and active part, in business dealings, also, she was known to be considerate and just; and she has shown personal kindness to a great many people here.
Her influence for the good in this community is perhaps the more keenly felt because it was a quiet and unassuming nature; it could be likened, most appropriately, to a pebble, which when dropped into a pool of water, sends first a small ripple, then moves in an ever widening circle, until it reaches far-off shores.
