Title : Upper Serving Society Records, 1860
Description : This group seems to be making stockings, perhaps for Civil War soldiers. Membership apparently not confined to women. Hard to read. Not clear if they had any connection with The Circle. The name seems to indicate it was centered around the Bell Hill area, whereas Circle was formed at Baptist Church in Rayville.
Excerpts : Purpose: "for the aid of such benevolent objects as shall be decided on." (excerpt from record book)
