Secretary's book of the Hammond, Wisconsin chapter of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Wisconsin, including the group's constitution, membership list, meeting minutes, and attendance records. Though short on description, the minutes provide evidence of the group's literature distribution projects; fund raisers; support of affiliated groups (including the Young Woman's Christian Temperance Union (YWCTU) and the Loyal Temperance Legion (LTL), a youth group); relations with other local social, religious, and charitable organizations; village-level political activities; and provision of a weekly column for The Hammond News. The chapter dissolved in 1908.
