Note
Born into a politically prominent Los Angeles family, Mary Julia Workman founded the Brownson House Settlement Association in 1901 and led it for 19 years. The Brownson House assisted underprivileged and immigrant families in the city, providing them with educational, vocational and social programs such as student clubs, Sunday school, dances, and sporting events. A Roman Catholic who built cooperative relationships with church leaders, she founded the diocesan chapter of the National Council of Catholic Women in 1924. She led the Los Angeles Civil Service Commission from 1927 to 1928 and helped establish local chapters of the League of Women Voters and the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Dr. Edward P. Ryland was a minister in the Southern Methodist Church assigned to the Hollywood Church in 1910. Reverend Thomas C. Marshall was a priest in the Episcopal church who helped to organize social work efforts, forming the Church of the Neighborhood Settlement Association, later called simply the Neighborhood Settlement. Elizabeth McManus was the chairman of the Los Angeles Probation Commission.
