Lella A. Dillard (née Jackson; November 10, 1863 – January 26, 1935) was an American temperance leader.
The impression was so deep as to produce a feeling of awe and so burdened me that I confided the secret to a friend."
Returning to LaGrange, where she had lived as a student, she was made president of the local W.C.T.U., retaining that office until 1909, when she removed with her family to Oxford, Georgia.
In 1906, it was reported that Dillard sowed Georgia down with temperance information, and at each Convention, she was so well informed on the literature which was best adapted to the State needs that her table, laden with all sorts of leaflets, books, and periodicals bearing upon the temperance reform, became the most popular rendezvous with the attendees.
[3] She next served as the superintendent of the Purity Department before being transferred to the Young People’s Branch and made college secretary the same year.
[4] She brought to this position the many months of experience in the work when her chief had been on a leave of absence through ill-health.
