BIOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL NOTE

The Circle of the King's Daughters was an international philanthropic association with membership in 28 states and Canada (1970). While the New York chapter, also called "Here-a-Little, There-a-Little," was Quaker, the association had Baptist and Congregationalist membership in other parts of the world. Members gathered to read Bible passages, discuss Lenten observance, and perform philanthropic work. The latter included donations to the Colored Mission and production of diapers and other garments. The New York chapter disbanded in 1975, citing the lack of a meeting place and transportation issues.
