Patton in consequence of her decease shortly after the meeting of the Society has not been paid, and the Committee, being satisfied that Mrs. H. C. Patton had the charge of and provided for Mrs. A. B. Patton up to the time of her decease, recommend that the Treasurer be directed to pay the said donation to Mrs. H. C. Patton. Recommendations adopted.
