Title	Piqua Female Bible Society 75th-Anniversary History
Subject	Religion in Ohio Ohio Women Church charities Religious gatherings
Place	Piqua (Ohio) Miami County (Ohio)
Description	The Piqua Female Bible Society was an influential organization in the early years of Piqua's settlement. Piqua was a frontier canal town, and the Female Bible Society sought to "civilize" its citizens. Not long after Miami County's formation in 1807, women in the Piqua area banded together to promote the study of the Bible, literacy and charitable endeavors. Rachel Johnson, one of the founders of the group, went door-to-door to recruit women of Piqua to join. This history of the Society, officially titled Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of the Piqua Female Bible Society 1818-1893, was published by the Correspondent Show Printing Company in honor of the 75th anniversary of the organization in 1893. It measures 5.66" x 8.26" (14.4 x 21 cm). This collection is unique in that it details the work of women in the early decades of Ohio's history. This item is part of a larger collection containing detailed minutes from 1818-1969, Treasurer's Reports, a Scrapbook of the Society from 1847-1882, 75th and 100th Anniversary pamphlets, and other items.
