WCTU, and the women around it were the chapter members. The
fountain was at 301 West Main Street, just outside Madden's Department
Store. Madden's was founded in 1896, originally as Madden &
Graham. A. E. Graham was John Madden's father-in-law, who lived in
Denton and had several stores in various towns. 1905 Denison City Directory   Annie Wittenmyer 1889 W.C.T.U Convention Organizations Susan Hawkins © 2024 If you find any of Grayson CountyTXGenWeb links inoperable, please send me a message. |
