The FDR Society of Shelby has inducted a group of five new members. They are Doris E. Cumberworth of Shelby, William Dale Ebinger and Rosalyn Wise of Norwalk, Mildred Murphy Dillon of Mansfield, and Edward L. Monroe of Mineral Ridge. Iona B. Gates and Eleanor Jean Huss of Shelby and Lucille Critchfield of Ontario were inducted last year.
“These individuals cast their ballots for the most significant President of the 20th Century,” stated Garland John Gates. “We salute them.”
The FDR Society, which was created by the Shelby Area Democratic Club, exists for the sole purpose of honoring men and women who voted for Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The society has neither dues nor meetings.
“The society continually solicits names of FDR voters for recognition,” Gates explained. “They or a family member can submit their names and addresses by calling me at 419-347-3337 or by sending an email to shelbydems@yahoo.com.”
A potential member would have to be at least 88 years old. One need not live in the Shelby area to be a member.
