The Cowbelles
A nationwide organization started in Douglas.
|
The Cowbelles was organized as a club by 16 ranch wives in Douglas,
Arizona on October 17, 1939. Little did they know that their idea would
spread to a nationwide organization to "promote friendly and social
relations between cattle people and to cooperate for the best interests of
our industry, our community, and our country."
The first meeting was held at Mattie Cowan's home and she called it to
order as their first President. The 16 Charter Members were:
