M. E. Dollarhide WCTU (Greenfield, Ohio)

Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) Logo

The M.E. Dollarhide WCTU (M.E. Dollarhide Women’s Christian Temperance Union) was a group that appeared to primarily meet at the First United Methodist Church in Greenfield, Ohio.

Preliminary research leads us to wonder if the initials “M.E.” could be an ode to Mary Elizabeth “Mollie” (Grove) Dollarhide (1844-1913), who is buried at Greenfield Cemetery (also in Greenfield, Ohio). Further research, perhaps with the Greenfield Historical Society, is needed.
