About
our founder
Mrs. Ethel T. Wead Mick
 The
International Order of Job's Daughters was founded by Mrs. Ethel
T. Wead Mick, or Mother Mick as the members affectionately call
her. Mother Mick, realizing the importance of the early training
she received from her Christian mother, and especially the beautiful
lessons in literature and drama as found in the Book of Job, decided
to give her time and talent to make it possible for all young
women of Masonic relationship to share the rare privileges that
were hers. After several years of careful study and consideration
with the assistance of her husband, Dr. William H. Mick, and other
capable workers, she founded the International Order of Job's
Daughters, in honor and memory of her mother, Elizabeth D. Wead.
The purpose
of the Order was to band together young girls with Masonic relationship
for character building through moral and spiritual development
by teaching a greater reverence for God and the Holy Scriptures:
loyalty to the Flag and the Country for which it stands, and respect
for parents and Guardians. The organization was named "Job's
Daughters" after the three daughters of Job in the Bible.
The organization was founded on the 15th verse of the 42nd Chapter
of the Book of Job: "In all the land were no women found
so fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them inheritance
among their brethren."
