Biographical History
Elizabeth Trout (1902-1989) of Farmington, New York was a member of the Oneida-Kenwood-Sherrill Migrant Committee and active in its reading program. The Migrant Committee's work focused on the needs of migrant workers who came up from Florida and other southern states in the summer months to help plant and harvest crops in Oneida County and Madison County in central New York. The migrant committee worked for better housing conditions and labor rights in migrant camps, established day-care centers and summer schools for migrant children, and set up a scholarship fund for migrant children going on to college.
