Historical Note
The Washington Temperance Society was a group of people with the dream of abstinence from alcohol. "In 1828 still other parts of the state organized temperance societies, and by 1829, there was a united effort at Indianapolis which has continued in some form ever since" (Camp, 1920, 13). Their constitution states "The members of this society, believing that the use of intoxicating liquors is for persons in health, not only unnecessary, but hurtful."
