History
The Milby Union was first formed in 1890 to look after an organized Youth Group of the Community and form a Sunday School. The union moved to Ives Hill where most of the members resided and changed its name to Ives Hill Y. In 1923, a new Women's Christian Temperance Union was formed in Milby by Mrs. Robert Lipsey, then County President of Sherbrooke. The W.C.T.U. held meetings, gave temperance lessons, formed a new Sunday School, assisted to conventions of the Quebec Provincial Woman's Christian Temperance Union and grew up to twenty-five members. A Loyal Temperance Legion was formed in 1932 under the Union to "teach children the evils of alcohol and a knowledge of conducting a buisiness meeting." By 1960, the memership of the W.C.T.U. of Milby dwindled to eight members. The group was disbanded in 1963.
