Hi,
According to my father my great grandmother Ella Hall Carlyle was quite
involved in the Women's Christian Temperance Union. As she lived most
of her adult life in Edwards Co., I was wondering what info there might
be about the movement and its efforts in that area, say from 1915 to
1940.

Also, her husband, J.C. Carlyle (James Charles) was apparently mayor of
Albion for a few years around 1917 or so. How can I confirm that
information, or find out anything about his term, if he was.

Any hints/leads/scoops would be appreciated.
