Patriotic Society.
Mrs. S. Isabella Hubbard wife of Colonel
A. S. Hubbard, has received, under the
seal of the General Society of the United
States Daughters 1776-1812, the appoint
ment of honorary vice-president general of
the society and member of the historic
council. This appointment has been be-
slowed upon her in recognition of her sue
cessful work in organizing the society of
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton in California and in appreciation of
her patriotic efforts in the name of liberty.
Eligibility to membership in this society
is confined exclusively to military and
naval service, claims through civil service
not being allowed.
The general society has three distinct
branches, each independent, yet allied in
memory of three epochs of history, the
Daughters of the Revolution, Columbian
Daughters 1892 and United States Daugh-
tiers 1912, working under the same consti-
tuition and having for its motto Liberty
and Fraternity; all uniting in the same
patriotic work, encouraging historical re-
search, advocating the celebration of
patriotic anniversaries, preserving revolu-
tlonary documents, records, etc, yet each
branch having its separate mission. The
Daughters of the Revolution stand pledged
to build "Home" in memory of eternal
gratitude for the heritage bequeathed
them by the founders of the United States,
where the impoverished daughters of these
noble sires can be safely sheltered from the
storms of life and be made to feel that they
have indeed a "home and country"
The second branch was formed at meet
ing of the General Council, January, 1892,
when Mrs. Potter Palmer and the go lady
managers of the Worlds Fair Columbian
Exposition were elected honorary life mem
bers of the General Society, q. S. D., to be
known as Columbian Daughters, to COM
memorate the four hundredth anniversary
of the discovery of America, to honor its
discoverer and to foster the memories of
the men who gave freedom to the Western
World.
The special mission of the third branch,
United States Daughters, lineal de-
scendants OF the patriots of 1872, is to make
the Hermitage patriotic Mecca, to keep
alive memories of Jackson, and to aid the
Hermitage Association in the work so ably
commenced by the Daughters of Tennessee.
A plan has been formulated in connection
with this branch for securing library of
the life and times of Jackson's contempo-
raries and copatriots, and to found a
picture gallery of the founders of the
United States.

society is composed of thirteen historians,
whose duty is to supervise the branch
work of the State historians, and arrange
