The following description of the Orange County Chapter of The Women's Christian Temperance Union appeared in the 1921 edition of Samuel Armor's "History of Orange County California" published by Historic Record Company, Los Angeles, California
Orange County W. C. T. U.
By Elizabeth H. Mills
In writing the history of Orange County, all who read it's history should know that the organized forces of the Women's Christian Temperance Union--organized immediately after the organization of the County in 1889----through numerically small, have been a potent factor in the moral, spiritual and political uplift of the county. The education given by this organization has been progressive along all lines that tend to the betterment of the human race. It has spared neither sacrifice nor service to this end, and today not a county in our beloved state can show a better record. Splendid men have stood behind brave women who have dared to blaze the way through indifference, criticism and intolerance that ever marks the path to victory. These kept the faith and waged the warfare that made it possible for Orange County, with its present eleven Unions and over five hundred members, to be an effective part in placing in our National Constitution the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Amendments. All honor to the W. C. T. U. women and their helpers, of this County for their part in making the nation's present and future sober, Christian citizenship.
