yet needed a few more of the South'a
grand heroes, and one day in the
flghjl around Petersburg, this young
hero, now bearing the title of col

country's alUfr.
Dark days of sorrow and fight with
poverty ensued for that young wid

yet found time and heaft to aid

fought beneath the Stars and Bars.

of men who wore the grey, nfv to

of the organisation of the first chap

By 18 8 ? severs! chapters had been
formed in the state, and this same
leader called them ^ogether in the
city of Wilmington, and there form

the Daughters of. ths Confederacy.
Prom that day to this, oar friend
and organiser has ever stood reedy
to aid in every gOod work for the

Time and again she has been the
head of the banner chapter in the

Jo us, one and 'all, she is s ten
