Buckhaven

The village was Buckhaven.

Ladies

The account of the Meeting said:

"  The presence of a much larger number of ladies than usually patronise the Society's meetings was a source of gratification.  The meetings of the Society are always made more attractive by their presence, and we hope that during the session there will be a much larger proportion of ladies present at our meetings than formerly.  They are cordially invited.
