Excerpt from Elizabeth Lownes Rust
This line of work in connection with the Freed men's Aid Society was not found practicable, as the introduction of women into the Board of Managers (by the law of the State.) would endanger its title to property. Thus failing to secure the needed work through existing agencies, the interest aroused could not be set aside, but public and private ap peals continued to be made. Women were em ployed as missionaries in Atlanta and New Orleans, who for several years were supported by personal gifts.

Excerpt from Elizabeth Lownes Rust
"A distinctive feature of the latter half of the nineteenth century is the development of so many good and true women." Thus wrote Mrs. Rust of a leader among women, and well do the words fit her own noble, Christlike character. Her ancestry was noted for nobility of life, freedom of thought, and conscientious action. In her blood flowed Scotch purity and strength, united with the sanguine temperament of the Welsh. Her father and mother, coming from the Middle States, and beginning their married life in Baltimore, were both members of the Quaker Brotherhood. Devout in spirit, true to Gods leading, outspoken for the right, generous toward others, quiet and unobtrusive, yet bold and courageous in the hour of duty, they were noble representatives of the Society of Friends.
