Biographical history
The Women’s Institute organization was founded in 1897 by Mrs. Adelaide Hoodless of Stoney Creek, Ontario, following the death of her son as a result of drinking impure milk. In 1911, at the suggestion of Mrs. James E. Porter of Andover, New Brunswick, a meeting was held to introduce this organization to New Brunswick women. Between 1911 and 1950, hundreds of branches of the Women’s Institute were organized across the province.
The Stanley, York County Women’s Institute was organized in 1913. Mrs. A. Biggs was elected President and Mrs. A. Pringle was elected as the first Secretary.
The Stanley Women's Institute is still active.
