Pictured are 12 women in the Swastika Club, including Gertrude Reed Sloan, Jennie Sutherland Duzan, Jennie Heginbotham Paul, Ethel Show Struble, Blanche Garland Heginbotham, Bertha Johnson, Alta Anderson Millage, Maude Clark Allen, Mary Canaday, Esther Crater Bereman, Cora Kelsey Wood and Ida Maddock. In 1941, the Swastika Club, then the oldest women’s organization in Holyoke, changed its name to the Fidelis Club. The date of this photo is unknown, but the club was organized Nov. 22, 1906, when the members selected Swastika as the club name — swastika being the Indian sign of good luck or benediction. — Source: Phillips County Museum
