December 29th


Born this day in 1827, Margaret McDonald Bottome. A Methodist minster's wife, Mrs. Bottome would hold prayer meetings, informal talks about the Bible, and Bible studies in her drawing room. And then Janunary 13th, 1886, she founded the Interantional Order of The King's Daughters. Sisterhood of service. The membership grew quickly and spread throughout the world with membership growing to 50,000. A year later, boys and men inquired about joining and the name was changed to The International Order of The King's Daughter and Sons! The Order is still active today.

Emma Snodgrass was arrested again this in 1852, for wearing pants in public again!

Today is Mary Tyler Moore's birthday! "Who can turn the world on with a smile..."
