At their organization they honor
ed one of the county's veterans and
a hero Of Hart's Battery, of which
he was 1st Lieutenant, by giving the
chapter his name, and it is recorded
as the Francis Marion Bamberg chap
ter, No. II, S. G. Division and No.
1858 United Daughters Of the Con-
federacy.
The following were made officers
the chapter at its organization, and

cornerstone of the monument for
Bamberg county:

May C. McCue, corresponding secre-

With enthusiasm and zeal the
chapter voted that it's first efforts
should be made for the erection OF
a monument fitting in design and
simple elegance, to the memory OF
those soldiers of this county. who
gave their best and some their all
for the principles they believed to
be right. BY persistent effort, in
less than IL months, the chapter has
succeeded in raising over $1,000. Be-
lieving in the generosity and the
patriotism of the people of the. coun-
ty to stand back of their efforts they
placed the. order for a beautiful mon
ument of South Carolina granite, and
the bases have already been laid and
all now stands in readiness for the
laying of the cornerstone on the 10th
OF May. There will be much that will
make this a day of great interest, and
it will stand out as a milestone in
the history of the county.
The roll of the chapter now num-
bers, a body of women holding it
their duty and privilege to place a
shaft on the court house grounds OF
the county seat to tell the future
generations of the valor, the suffer-
ing, the privations, and the heroism
of those in whose memory it is erect
ed.
