  "Mrs. Harry Edwards, Long-time Resident Here, Passes Away
  Death last night took one of Los Gatos' longtime residents when Mrs. Harry Edwards, prominent church and clubwoman, passed away at Witham Rest Home following an illness of several weeks.
  Born in San Francisco, Mrs. Edwards was the daughter of Aaron Doud, early pioneer of that city. She came to Los Gatos fifty years ago but after the death of her husband, the late Harry Edwards, returned to the bay city. About fourteen years ago she again came to Los Gatos to make her home.
  Long active in church and club work, she was a charter member of the Los Gatos History Club and one of the oldest living members of St. Luke's Episcopal church. She was also affiliated with the Mizpah Club, the San Francisco Woman's Club, and the President's Assembly of San Francisco.
  She was the mother of George D. Edwards of San Jose; Mrs. Edward Teall of Los Gatos; and the late Raymond Edwards.
  Private graveside services will be conducted Saturday afternoon, October 18, at Cypress Lawn in San Francisco with Melvin's Mortuary in charge of arrangements. Acceding to Mrs. Edwards' own request, the family asks that there be no flowers."

  MIZPAH CHARITY CLUB
 "The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent from one another."
 Mrs. H. B. EDWARDS, President
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Organized Feb., 1883
 Federated 1918
 Meets Monday afternoon
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Object of the Club: To give relief to families in need, who are reported to the club, cooperating with the Associated Charities, the Doctors Daughters and the Fruit and Flower Mission.
 The first meeting was held February 14, 1883, in the home of Mrs. WEIHE, 2315 California Street. Four ladies were present and three were elected to membership. The constitution and by-laws were drawn up and Mizpah Charity Club has been a going concern ever since.
  Outgrowing the private home, the club met for several years in St. Stephens Church. In 1914 it found it necessary to move again and establish itself in its present very pleasant quarters in the California Club Building, 1750 Clay Street.
  Meetings are held on Monday afternoons for nine months of the year, to sew for the Children's Agency, the Infants' Shelter, the Children's Hospital and the San Francisco Nursery for Homeless Children.
  One hundred and twenty-two garments were made the past year. A box of shoes and clothing were sent to the Red Cross. Four families were served with Thanksgiving dinner and Santa Claus' pack was made heavier for four families and four institutions, and St. Dorothy's Rest and the Leper Colony at the Isolation Hospital were not forgotten.
  Money expended in relief, during the year, totals $415.50. A unit of the Needle-work Guild of America has been formed and is under the direction of Mrs. G. F. TERSCHUREN. While "Service" and "Others" are the keynote of our club life a little time for sociability is encouraged. To that end monthly luncheons are indulged in. An annual outing is participated in with great eclat. The brilliant occasion of the year, however, is Founders' Day, when a Valentine card party is held in the home of a member; active and associate members participating.
  Mrs. MacMASTER discovered Mizpah Charity Club working along in its own quiet way, and invited it to join the Federation. Realizing that we must advance together, hand in hand, in full harmony with after-war requirements, we accepted the invitation. And here we are, to help the promotion of clubdom's program that works for mutual acquaintance, cooperation, good will and appreciation of the individual, regardless of birth place and race.
