Organizing members included Irene Houston, Doris Martin and Elizabeth Collins. Within a few weeks these charter members, Della Fay Barrett, Mary Dugan, Thela Leonard, Elizabeth Fitzgerald, Mary Jane Burwell, Ramona Mitchell, Melinda Mitchell and Carla Mitchell were added. The first crude maps of this area were made in early 1800 by government surveyors, showing Little River to be the west fork of Red River. In 1832-33, when the Choctaws moved from Mississippi to this general area, they called Little River, The Black River. New maps were made in 1866, and by this time, surveyors knew Little River was a tributary and a river in its own right.
Little River is a well-known scenic and recreation stream.
State Vice-Regent, Dorthy Lee installed the new chapter officers. There were twelve organizing members and eight charter members with two ladies whose papers were at the National Society DAR in Washington, D.C. waiting for approval. Little River Chapter currently has 43 members. The DAR Insignia is the property of and is copyrighted by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. All rights reserved.
