Description	The dedication of the Class II Chapter House for the Terry Chapter of the American Woman's League in Edwardsville, Illinois was held on July 20, 1909. This was the first chapter house built by the League. The League emblem, a wreath of acanthus leaves surrounding the letters A.W. L., and the name, was placed on the front of each Chapter House so the building would be easily recognized by members visiting from other towns. Officers of the Terry Chapter were: President, Mrs. Agnes McKee; First Vice President, Josephine Smith; Second Vice President, Miss Jessie Benedict; Treasurer, Mrs. Ada Atchinson; and Secretary, Mrs. David Feigenbaum. There were 62 members. In this photograph Edward Gardner Lewis and Mabel Lewis (front row, just right of center) attended the dedication along with George Julian Zolnay (back row right end). Rachael Atchison, the young girl in the front row, was named chapter mascot.
