An informative broadside relating to an obscure African American mutual aid society in Houston County, Tennessee. The broadside announces a three-day meeting to be held at the St. James A.M.E. Church in Dickson, in order to elect officers and conduct other business for the Ellis Millis Colored Burial Bureau Club. The text of the broadside was written by the president of the organization, John H. Walker, who is listed at the bottom along with other officers of the club, including two women, Mattie M. French (secretary) and Emma Barber (treasurer). We could locate no other copies of this broadside in OCLC or elsewhere.
