Red Cross Work in Montgomery County

It was in the month of February, 1917, that an appeal from the National Board of the Red Cross at Washington, D. C., came to the women of Montgomery county, asking for an immediate organization of a chapter in this section of the Miami valley. The German atrocities in Belgium and France had long aroused the sympathy of the women of America for the suffering women and children in those devasted countries, and the plea for organized help brought speedy response. There were many different channels through which help and succor were reaching the distressed people across the sea, but none were more splendidly organized or more efficiently managed than the Red Cross society, and the women of Montgomery county were not slow to respond to the urgency of the appeal. The call was made public, and on the second day of March the Jennie McMahon McCrea branch of the Needlework Guild raised $300 for the purchasing of materials and began the humane work of making surgical dressings for the American Red Cross organization, and so diligent were the fingers of the members of the guild, that in the short space of two months, there were shipped 9,705 articles to Rush Terminal.
In the meantime, Miss Eleanor Hamilton of the nursing staff of the Miami Valley hospital had not been idle, and under her directorate one hundred women pledged their membership as Red Cross helpers in the proposed formation of the desired chapter, and a complete organization meeting was held April 18, 1917, in the rooms of the Greater Dayton association, of which Mr. F. J. Ach was temporary chairman. It was the desire of the association to make Mr. John H. Patterson permanent chairman of the chapter, but upon his expressed inability to accept the responsible position, Rabbi David Lefkovitz, of the Dayton Jewish temple, was made permanent chairman. And in no better, more capable, hands could the important duties of the place have been placed. With a heart full to overflowing with love, to humanity, wise in judgment, seeing always the bright side when, perchance, a little discouragement or apprehension crept in among the workers, sparing neither time nor strength in forwarding the work, the success of the Montgomery county Chapter of the Red Cross is largely due to its devoted chairman. At this organization meeting Mrs. Valentine Winters was appointed chairman of the Membership committee, and it was decided not to confine membership to the residents of the city of Dayton, but to include all of Montgomery county, making village and township societies units of the chapter. The "drive" for membership that was immediately made for Red Cross members, resulted in the obtaining of twenty thousand members. Temporary headquarters were at once established on East Third street, in a store room in the Elks building, but on May 12, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kidder, with characteristic generosity, offered to the chapter the Daytonia (page 54) hotel, located on East Second street, between Ludlow and Main, which was gratefully accepted by the organization, and has been the headquarters of the chapter up to the present time. It is eminently fitting that those who were the organizers and promoters of the Red Cross philanthropy during those terrible months of attempted German domination of the political life of the more democratic countries of Europe, should be preserved-in a history of the work of the order. It has been officered by men and women who are at the head of the religious, business and social life of the city. As stated above, Rabbi David Lefkovitz is still permanent chairman of the society. The vice-chairmen are : Mr. Harry B. Canby, president Crawford-McGregor-Canby company ; and Mr. J. W. Downer, manager Dayton Supply company ; secretary, Mrs. W. H. Delscamp, wife of a prominent physician; treasurer, Mr. Chas. W. Slagle, president Merchants' National bank; Mrs. George Goodhue was also vice-chairman, holding the same important office in the Needlework Guild of the city. The Executive Board comprised Rabbi David Lefkovitz, Mr. Lee Warren James, attorney ; Mr. J. C. Haswell, president Malleable Iron Works ; Mrs. George Goodhue ; Mrs. W. H. Delscamp ; Mr. Chas. W. Slagle ; Mrs. W. H. Sunderland ; Mr. J. W. Downer ; Mrs. Chas. Craighead, wife of leading attorney ; Dr. C. Fred Young, president Davies Soap company ; Mr. Harry B. Canby. The committee in charge of the Woman's Work, were Mrs. George Goodhue, Mrs. Chas. Craighead, Mrs. Henry Loy, Mrs. E. C. James, Mrs. Earl Forrer, Misses Bessie Warman and Virginia Blakeney. On the Purchasing committee were Mesdames D. W. Allaman, Walter Kidder, Henry Loy, A. H. Reeder, Earl Forrer and Miss Margaret Burns. The responsibilities of the House committee were in charge of Mesdames A. H. Reeder, Walter Kidder, D. W. Allaman, Ernest Rauh, Misses Katherine Wright and Margaret Burns. Mr. J. W. Downer is at present chairman of the committee. The financial part of the work is managed by Dr. F. Dale Barker, Judge R. N. Routzahn, and Messrs. Walter Kidder, Chas. W. Slagle, Jas. W. Downer, H. E. Talbott, E. E. Burkhardt, and H. B. Canby. The Publicity department was in the hands of Messrs. Sidney C. Eusworm, Howard Marston, Bert Klopfer, S. E. Kiser and Mr. McDonald.
The committee on Membership deserves special' commendation, as under its unceasing labor, the chapter grew to 26,000, bringing in membership dues to the amount of $35,635.73, to which was later added $2,940.20. The busy workers in this important field were Mrs. Valentine Winters, and Messrs. E. E. Burkhardt and C. F. Young.
Those in charge of Hospital Supplies were Mesdames George Goodhue, Julia Carnell, Chas. Craighead, H. H. Waite, H. E. Talbott, Ed. Rauh, Henry Loy, Geo. H. Shaw, S. H. Carr, A. B. Brown, A. H. Reeder, D. W. Allaman, Walter Kidder, and Misses Margaret Burns, Susana Huffman and Katherine Kennedy. The committee superintending Red Cross instruction was composed of Doctors A. H. Dunham, A. B. Brower, L. H. Cox, Mesdames L. W. James, W. H. Delscamp, Walter Phelps, Ernst Rauh, A. B. Brower; (page 55) Misses Eleanor Hamilton, L. Cithone, Crete Zorn, E. Holt, and Mr. Walter Phelps. The committee on Supplies for Fighting Men included Messrs. W. D. Chamberlain, John Aull, John F. McMillan, John McGee, E. E. Burkhardt, J. M. Guild, Stanley Krohn, R. T. Johnson, Henry A. Stout, Chas. A. Carpenter, Doctors E. E. Baber, H. H. Hatcher, E. R. Arn, the Reverend Geo. Bunton, and Judges B. F. McCann and W. A. Budroe. Those in charge of the Civilian Relief work, in the year 1917, were Doctors F. Dale Barker, F. C. Rounds ; Messrs. J. C. Haswell, John Patterson, Frank Wuichet, H. B. Canby, Chas. W. Slagle, F. J. Ach, Houston Lowe, George Burba; Reverends Bernard O'Reilly, and F. N. Lynch; Mrs. H. E. Gorman, Mrs. Valentine Winters, Misses Elizabeth Doren, Minnie Conover, and Katherine Wright. The present committee on Civilian Relief is made up of the following persons: Messrs. J. C. Haswell, F. J. McCormack, Bert Klopfer, Louis Ruthenberg, John Shee, Frank Wuichet, C. D. Hoffman, Nelson Talbott, Rowland McKee, Rabbi David Lefkovitz, the Reverend W. T. Mabon, Col. R. L. Hubler, Doctors B. D. Thresher, Webster Smith, Mesdames Geo. Shaw Greene, E. O. Waymire, H. B. Canby, Morris Pereles, W. D. Huber, S. S. Troop, Frank Canby, T. A. McCann, and Miss Anna Chapman. As in all chapters of the Red Cross organization, the knitting brigade of the Montgomery chapter was on valiant duty both by day and by night. The. click of knitting needles was heard in all places and at all times. In church, in street cars, on the trains, at concerts, at every kind of social functions the gray and khaki colored yarns were fashioned into sweaters, helmets, wristlets, every conceivable garment that it was possible to shape came forth from the steel and wooden needles for the comfort of the "boys" so dear to every true American woman's heart. Yarn to the amount of 8,658 pounds was given out by the committee of the Knitting Department of the Montgomery Red Cross chapter; of this material were completed up to May 1; 1919, 18,949 articles.
Those in charge of this most important work were Miss Bessie Forman, Miss Virginia Blakeney, in charge of inspection ; Mrs. Earl Forrer, in charge of shipping, and Mrs. Craighead.

The children of Horatio Phillips were Jonathan Dickinson, who married Luciana Greene; Elizabeth (Mrs. Worthington); and Mariana (first Mrs. Robert Thruston, afterwards Mrs. John G. Lowe). From one generation to another the members of the family have been ornaments to the life of the city. The son, J. D. Phillips, followed in his father’s footsteps; a man of culture and taste, he was as generous as he was socially delightful and his gifts to public things were known to only a few friends. The first public library was especially indebted to him for its housing in the “new” Phillips block on the corner of Main and Second streets. The Phillips House was built by him and named in honor of his father. It was for eighty years the center of social and business life in Dayton and the best hotel in this part of Ohio. It is now destroyed. J. D. Phillips had one son, Horace, and four daughters: Mrs. A. D. McCook, Mrs. J. P. Davies, Mrs. J. Harrison Hall and Miss Sophie Phillips. All are deceased. Mrs. Kathleen McCook Craighead, J. P. Davies, the Misses Alice, Eliza and Agnes Hall are grandchildren; Mrs. Katherine Houk Talbott and her nine children, and their twenty-eight children, are third and fourth generation descendants of the Phillips family.
