Nellie Lincoln was the devotional leader "Christ's Love" for all people taken from John 10:-1-11 verses I am the good "Shepherd." Our song was "Oh Master Let Me Walk with Thee." Lela's canary helped us with our music. Lela read a note about using the flag properly and not as decals on car bumpers.

Jennie Cassidy is noted for her Flower Mission work, in Louisville, Kentucky. She was born into a religious, refined, educated family on June 9, 1840. After her accident she was given a telephone and she would also write to see that poor and unfortunates had food, clothing and flowers. Flower Missions were started in many states.
