Alert ---> this is going to be as clear as mud.....the early history isn't always neat and clean.
Chapter B was at Belden's Female Seminary in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa (It was also referred to as the Mount Pleasant Female Seminary). The school (and hence the chapter) closed in 1879.
Chapter F, Iowa in Bloomfield then took on the Chapter B, Iowa designation.
There was also a 2nd chapter B, Iowa. It was in Fairfield. That chapter disbanded in 1893.
By 1891, there were also Chapter Bs in California (Escondido) and Missouri (Memphis).
The name looks like Ella Dunn, but my eyesight is awful. If its something other than Ella Dunn, please let me know.
