and from the attention given by the ladie,
present, it was evident hat great inter
est was already taken in tho purpose fol-
which this national society or ladies, do
scendants from patriots and mothers Of til,
same, was formed.
There is large fell for work to be done
by the Daughters of the American Rsvou-
ton in the future, and Judging from Ia,
present outlook there is great deal of en-
thusiasm shown throughout the country il
regard TO the matter Although the ma
tional society is comparatively Young ian,
the organization does not permit OF any
State soCeties) yet It has membership a
the present date OF about 1900 ladies in al
parts of the country. 1t Is safe to say tina
should any Vermont lady, after reading thi!
article, desire to become member of thi
chapter, she can fluid out the details by
corresponding with the secretary or regis
trar, who will be glad to furnish al dat,
required
The record Of each soldier serving in Yer
mont troops during the war OF the revou
tion can be found in the adjutant-gcneral'
office ut Montpelier, and this may be sale
of those serving from Now Hampshire anl
. Connecticut. II the full name and residence
OF the party is given official certificate
can be granted, said certificate being neces
sary to gain membership in the society
The fee for securing this information Is 81
Steps are already being taken for tn
! formation OF chapters In Rutland, st. Al
bans, Montpelier and Brattleboro. Tn
Vermont society, Sons Of American Revo
, luton, at the present date, has about u
members, and it would not be surprising
within year the society Of the Daughter
would equal that number.
The ladies' OF this chapter will consider
7 a favor If the papers throughout the stat
, will notice the report of their organizatio
, as they believe that al interest from th
p press OF Vermont will tend materially t
y increase the objects for which they III
working.
We can most sincerely congratulate ii
a. members of this chapter upon the stron
list of names Of their advisory board, which
, of itself, assures the success of this patriot
+ and most praiseworthy movement.
