Rock Hill special to the News and
Courier: About ten years ago Mrs. IL.
B. Buist, an enthusiastic member Of
the D. A. R., came to this city, and
finding no chapter Of that most lauda-
BILE and patriotic order, set about to
organize one. The result Of her labors
was the Catawba chapter, D. A. r.,
which has a moderately numerous and
very jealous membership, and has con-
tributed largely to the social life OF
Rock Hill, besides doing its full share
in all patriotic enterprises for which
the order stands. During Mrs. Buists
residence here she has very acceptably
filled the position Of regent, and so,
when she is about to move back to
fitting farewell was ar
ranged in her honor. The meeting
was held at the handsome home OF
Mrs. w. L. Roddey, where a delight
full social programme was carried out,
70. wed by the serving Of luncheon.
Be- Jre the time arrived for the latter,
Mrs. c. K. Schwrar arose and, In
very graceful little speech on behalf
Of Catawba chapter, presented Mrs.
Buist with a handsome gold ladle.
Mrs. Buist very feelingly thanked the
chapter for this evidence Of apprecia-
tion. Mr.. Buist has gone on to Green
vile, and in a few days will be follow
ed by Mrs. Buist and her mother, Mrs.
Kitty Williams, who at present are
visiting in Yorkville.
