Excerpt from Report of the Woman's Section of the Indiana State Council of Defense: From October, 1917, to April, 1919 The Indiana State Council of Defense was organized in May, 1917 the members were appointed by the Governor of the State. The Council consisted of nineteen men and one woman, the woman member being also the Chairman of the Woman's Section of the State Council of Defense. The woman member as first appointed by Governor Goodrich was Mrs. Caroline Fairbanks, who was then President of the State Federation of Women's Clubs. Shortly after her appointment Mrs. Fairbanks became ill, and as it was believed from time to time that she would soon be able to assume the duties of the head of the Woman's Section, no change was made. How ever, after a time it became apparent that she could not act in this capacity, so she resigned, and in October, 1917, Mrs. Anne Studebaker Carlisle, of South Bend, Ind., was appointed. When this occurred Mrs. Carlisle was in the East and there was a delay pending her return. Immediately upon her return, however, she assumed the duties incident to the appointment, went to Washington to consult with the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense, and from that time on the work progressed with the greatest possible dispatch.
