Members of the Joshers' Club delivering food to fa Members of the Joshers' Club delivering food to families in need. The Joshers' Club was informally organized just before Christmas in 1904 by individuals who wanted to help the needy of Butte. Spearheaded for over 20 years by William "Billy" Gemmell, the group sought donations of food, meat, and treats to distribute every year at Christmas. The Joshers' Club food drives were discontinued in 1931 because relief work was taken over by the Silver Bow County Relief Association. Photo: Smithers.06.014.16
