the election Of Mrs. Cora NJ. Davis.
of Union, Oregon, at Rochester. New
York, national president Woman's
Relief Corps, says:
Upon July 26, 1888, the order was
recognized as it's auxiliary by the
G. A. R. and today it stands the most
glorious charitable organization in
the land, embracing all nationalities,
all religions.
Beginning with only S45 in the
treasury, it now has many thousands,
and spends large amounts every year
aiding the aged comrade who fought
for his country during the Civil war.
! Thirty-five states in the Union pay
tribute through their departments to
the national, while ~ states, mostly
in the south, having no state organI-
cations, are what are called detached
corps and are controlled directly by
the national. In addition to the labor
of caring for the "old soldier" and
his family, is that of teaching patri-
otism to the younger generation, and
incidentally to their parents also. 1t
is through this order that the United
States flag waves over the school
houses from Maine to Oregon.
"The National w. r. C. last year
transferred to the United States gov
ernment the Andersonville prison
prak. The hallowed spot where
thousands suffered and died, had
been purchased and made into a
magnificent park, preserving mean
while all the old landmarks.
Mrs. Davis, the head of the organ
ization, is native of Michigan,
where she received here ducation, but
has been for a number of years a
resident of Oregon. Her qualifica-
tions for this position are of the
strongest. A natural leader, she is a
, woman. of broad sympathies and
great dignity Of character.
"She has been connected with sew
eral other orders, among them the
Pythian Sisters, where she has held
the highest office. The department of
Oregon, both that of the Grand Army
and the Woman's Relief Corps, feel
justly proud that the national honors
should come to this state"
