Cayuga Women's Institute 100 Years Old

Centennial Cake was cut for the Cayuga W.I. 100th anniversary, Tuesday, May 12. Pages of Treedsmuir History, photos of past and present members, nostalgic newspaper clippings and endless verbal stories filled an evening. Old-fashioned piano accompanied traditional songs such as "Old Susanna" and "Home On the Range."
The village of Cayuga is 150 years old this year. In the year 1909, fifty years after the incorporation of a village, women were banding together with the common goal of improving their lifestyle.
