Edwards Church Membership group index cards


 In amongst some of the paperwork I got from my mother was a set of index cards.  Each one appears to be some sort of record of dues being paid but I had know idea what they were from.  Originally I thought they might have something to do with the store my Great Grandparents Merrick Smith and Catherine McCann but the dates and locations seem wrong.  After further research, I think it has to do with a group my Grandmother Florence Smith was part of tied to the Edwards Church in Northampton, MA.  Though these cards don't have much to do with the family, I feel like they may be useful for other genealogists and therefore I am going to work on transcribing them.  I'll enter them here and keep a full list on the Putnam Wright Chronicles site.  To get an idea of what the payments were worth, it looks like $0.25 in 1921 would be about $30 in 2022.
