 PATRIOTIC WORK OF JUDEA CHAPTER,
 D. A. R.
 The Judea chapter of D. A. R. held thoir March meeting at the house of the regent! Mrs William J. Ford. In the absence of both secretaries, Mrs BrowD was appointed secretary pro tenn. The secretary named the historical room as one item of the business of the me eting. After some discussion Mrs William G. Brinsmade was appointed committee to confer with Mrs Woodruff in regard to the re-engagement of her room and re- port before April l. Miss Brinsmade read article fifth of the bylaws, ia rela- tion to the election of officers, and moved that the chair appoint 8 committee of three to send 8 list of offices to be filled, to each member with request that her choice for each be sent in writing before the annual meeting, when the Romina tions and elections will be made. Miss Brown then introduced the subject of markers, upon which action had been taken at a previous meeting, Miss Brown having made list of the graves of all Revolutionary soldiers in all the ceme. | teres in the town. She had ascertained that the D. A. K. marker, one of which had been exhibited at the previous meet ing, had not been accepted by the Ma tional 1cety, but those marked S.'A. R, meaning "Soldiers of the American Rev. olution," were used by both "Sons and Daughters" She gave such information as she could in regard to expense, etc. The chapter voted to appoint Miss Fan nie F. Brown to perfect the list and or der as many markers as were needed for each grave. She was also directed to confer with those who have charge of the memorial service of Decoration day in regard to combining the marking of the graves of Revolutionary soldiers, with the usual exercises at the graves of soldiers of the Civil war, and report at the next meeting. The regent then call ed for the report of the delegates to the Continental Congress of D. A. R. As this was the first time the Judea chapter had been represented in the Congress, it seemed to call for comprehensive ac- count of the five days session of the Con- gress of 1700 Daughters from every state in the union. Miss Browns report was not brief, but full of interesting details of matters which we don't see in the newspapers. In regard to the markers forbthe graves of s. A. R., the Judea chapter appeals to the numerous readers of THE BEE, each and every one, for all the aid they can furnish in this truly pa- triotic work. It involves great amount | of labor and not 8 little expense. The chapter Is young and not rich, but they feel that one of their first duties is to honor the memory of those men who were part of the history of the Revolu- tion, many of whose names are forgotten except by the crumhling head stones, which will soon cease to be of use in in- dicatinG the place of their graves. The markers are of iron withlsimply s. A. R. upon each; tablet attached with the name of the soldier, will add $3 to the cost. Your correspondent does not un- derstand that the chapter will be able to provide this In any instance, but If any descendant of either of the men whose names are appended, wish to add this tablet to the marker 1t can be easily done and be permanent means of identifica- tion for future generations.
