The English Lutheran Church Ladies' Aid Society of Bailey’s Corner made this quilt for the purpose of raising funds for needed items within the church. An 1882 volume titled History of Trumbull and Mahoning Counties, Volume II described plans in 1879 by the English Lutheran congregation to construct a new church. According to the one report, “The ladies met in the old church on March 29, 1879, and organized an aid society for the purpose of obtaining funds to furnish the new church building. ... The work of the society … consisted of … a ‘memorial quilt,’ containing five hundred and thirty names, the proceeds of which were $61.75.”
