DAUGHTER OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. Genesee Chapter No. 352, Daughters of the American Revolution, was organized at the home of Mrs. Harriet P. Thompson, December 27, 1897, with a membership of eighteen. This order, which claims to be the largest national organization of women, has for its object the promotion of patriotism and to arouse an interest in and preserve historic landmarks. The local chapter has had small opportunity work on the latter park of its objects, but has contributed to local philanthropic work and assisted in the erection, in Washington, D. C., of Memorial Continental Hall, in honor of Revolutionary heroes. The Daughters of the American Revolution has a membership of thirty-five and the meetings are held at the homes, the second Thursday in the month. |
