Installed as Worthy Matron


St. Joseph News-Press, 23 Jan 1938.

The clipping above shows Mary Cox Irvine appointed as worthy matron of the Areme Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star in St. Joseph, Missouri in 1938. In this role she oversaw annual charitable and fundraising events organized by the chapter. The photo shows her in a fashionable dress. Perhaps her sister Pearl Cox Jones looked similar, although they lived very different lives.

In February 1938, Mary made a return visit to Tennessee to visit her mother, and perhaps was able to catch up with her siblings, informing them about her travels.
