What a group of beautiful women this was. There are too many names to mention. I see both my own mother, Helen Rigby and my mother-in-law, Alice Hafen in this group. The director in the dark dress is Ethel Ericksen. Considering the flowers in the front and the flag, I would guess this was some kind of celebration. The location is definitely the South Ward Church.
Many Relief Society choruses from sisters world-wide sang under the name "The Singing Mothers." They performed at General Conferences, special occasions and even on the radio. On April 21, 1934 the name "The Relief Society Singing Mothers" was adopted as the official name. In 1966 there were almost 45,000 Singing Mothers in more than 3200 choruses in the stakes and missions of the Church worldwide. The name was later changed to the Relief Society Chorus to be more "politically correct" as of course not all the women involved were actually mothers.
