Page in Oleander. Immediately after the War Be tween the States memorial organ izations' sprang into existence all over the south. In less than a year after the close of the strug gle Mrs. Charles J. Williams, of Columbus, Ga,, appealed through “The Columbus Times” to all Southern women from the Poto mac to the Rio Grande to ob serve April 26. the day of the surrender of General Joseph H. Johnston, as Memorial Day. This date is still observed in several states but North Carolina in 1881 designated May 10th, the anniver sary of the death of General Stonewall Jackson, as Memorial Day and has observed this date ever since. In 1866 the Ladies Memorial As sociation was formed in Wilming ton under the leadership of Mrs. A. J. DeRosset. A plot at Oak dale was given this organization by the Cemetary company and in 1872 the Daughters unveiled the Confederate monument that is now on the plot where each May 10th exercises are held honoring those who gave their lives in the War Between the States. In 1894 the women of Savannah, Ga., petitioned the Supreme Court to grant them a constitution as United Daughters of the Confed eracy with certain rights and priv ileges. Mrs. William M. Parsley, of Wilmington, saw this article and wrote asking further details. As a result of this correspondence the North Carolina Division of the United Daughters of the Confed eracy was formed with the Cape Fear chapter named as organiz ing chapter. This chapter is Num ber Three, being the third to or ganize. Savannah, Ga., and Nash ville, Tenn., preceded North Car olina in organizing. Mrs. William Parsley was the first president of the State Division and of the lo cal chapter which she served for seven years. The members of the old Memorial Association formed the nucleus for the new National organization. The Charter mem bers were Mesdames W. H. C. Whiting, Kate deRosset Meares, Susan G. M. Holmes, Sallie P. Oldham. James M. Stevenson, William M. Parsley, John T. Ran kin, Jane D. deRosset, Elizabeth W. Taylor, J. J. Hedrick, Horace M. Emerson, Thomas E. Sprunt, Lossie deBosaet Myers.

Calder, Julia Gore, Mae O’Conner, many of these were children who were evi dently enrolled by their mothers as charter members. This new organization agreed to carry on the Memorial Day exer cises of the old Memorial Asso ciation when the two merged. In addition chapter objectives were (1) The care of veterans and their wives, (2) Educational assistance for descendants of veterans (3) Writing and preserving the cor rect history of the Confederacy. These three main objectives have through the years been taken care of before any other work.was at tempted. Practically every south ern state has a home for Confed erate veterans and for their wives or daughters. Many scholarships are available to descendents of veterans, and the Daughters are ever on the alert to see that the history taught in our schools is presented fairly and correctly. The Cape Fear chapter has been hostess to the State Division three times and in 1901 entertained the General Division with Mrs. Stone wall Jackson as honor guest. In 1919 it endowed a bed in a hos pital in France, named for Stone wall Jackson, for the use of sick and wounded American soldiers. During its fifty years of service it has had 434 members and is now the fourth largest chapter in the State. The following have served as presidents — Mrs. W. M. Parsley, Mrs. Martin Willard, Mrs. Junius Davis, Mrs. Richai*d Price, Mrs. R. C. Cantwell, Mrs. James Ken an, Mrs. W. G. Whitehead, Mrs. W. L. Beery, Mrs. T. L. Speiden, Mrs. T. E.
