Frances Slocum Chapter, DAR
WABASH – The Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution met Tuesday at the Grandstaff-Hentgen Activity Room, Wabash. Two guests were welcomed: Tammy Wise, Warsaw, and new member Nancy Tiger, North Manchester.
Following the opening ritual, a prayer written by Billie Graham 10 years ago for The Saturday Evening Post was shared for devotions.
Joyce Joy shared the January president general's message from Ann Turner Dillon. With help from local chapters the DAR has been able to restore the stage in Constitution Hall to its original design, have the grand reopening of the DAR Museum Gallery and to purchase the Maria Hill Sampler, a unique needlework piece crafted by a young woman living in St. Augustine in 1793. Members were reminded never to underestimate the impact they have on so many people and organizations within their communities.
The national defender report was about a Purple Heart medal “Denied But Not Forgotten.” Sgt. Perry Loyd, a soldier in the Army’s all-black 371st Infantry Regiment, 93rd Division, was wounded while serving in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in France in fall 1918. Loyd was discharged from the Army and returned home to Sumter County, S.C. He was never notified of his nomination for the Wounded Chevron, the predecessor of the Purple Heart. A grandson, Perry James, found documents relating to the injury and worked to get the award for his grandfather. On Oct. 13, 2018, more than 100 years after Sgt. Loyd was wounded while in service to this nation, James accepted the Purple Heart on behalf of his grandfather and their entire family.
The Indian committee minute was given by Avonne Lee Knecht on the Indian tribes known to have code talkers during World War I. The conservation minute was on benefits of native plants. The flag minute was, in May 1812, a log school at Catamount Hill near Colrain, Mass., gained the distinction of first flying the American flag over a schoolhouse.
Correspondence was from Indiana Veterans Home for canceled stamps; thank-yous from the six schools DAR supports; the Chemawa Indian School, Salem, Ore., for Box Tops for Education. and an email from Claudia Edwards, former member living in Woodstock, Ill.
The program was presented by CASA volunteer Mary Earle. A court-appointed special advocate is a trained community volunteer appointed by the courts to act as an advocate for a child that is abused, neglected or involved in a custody dispute.
