Women's Aid of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

The Women's Aid of the Pennsylvania Railroad was an independent charitable organization composed of the wives of officers and employees of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

The organization traces its beginnings to the Pennsylvania Railroad Women's Division for War Relief, which was established in November 1917 for the purpose of providing aid to the families of employees who had entered the service and of tending wounded soldiers in transit. It was organized in several independent numbered departments which roughly corresponded to the railroad's own departmental structure and headed by Mrs. Elisha Lee, the wife of the company's General Manager. The organization advanced money to the families of servicemen, found temporary homes for motherless children of drafted employees, and sewed clothing for both servicemen and their families at home.
