Sinclair of Dale avenue, who is assisted by Mrs. Earl Gsell and Mrs. Fred Watâ€" 1893â€"1940 In March 1893, Mrs. Annie L. Kerfoot, state regent of Illinois, N. S.D.A.R., appointed one of her own Chicago chapter members, Mrs. Laura Dayton Fessenden, chapter recent for Highland Park. Mrs. Fessenden then invited ladies whom she knew to be eligible for memâ€" bership in the society to meet at her home on April 20th when a chapter was formed, the second in the state, to be known as the "North Shore Chapter." The first twelve ladies to file application papers for memâ€" bership were, according to the byâ€" laws of the National Society, charâ€" ter members, of whom but two are not living â€"Mrs. Sarah Chandler Egan of Highland Park and Miss Henrietta Orde Flint, of Pasadena, Calif. What was left of that year was spent in perfecting the organiâ€" zation of the chapter and in doing our part in the D.A.R. work at the World‘s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The next two years we studied American history and in 1896, in addition to other work, we presentâ€" ed a hundred foot wooden flag staff to our city and formulated our first byâ€"laws. In 1897 we welcomed our Real Daughter as a member, Mrs. Maria Wilder Ragan whose father, Jacob Wilder, served throughout the enâ€" tire Revolutionary war. In 1898 our outstanding work was among the sick and wounded of the hospitals of Fort Sheridan, and the soldiers wives and children left desâ€" titute from the dead of the Spanishâ€" American war. We held our first rummage sale in 1912. We presented several flags, pictures and books to the local schools in the next few years and in 1915 we held an "Old Settlers‘ Day" with a carefully written local history as a program. In 1917 we changed our method of meeting, going weekly to the Red Cross rooms, and meeting monthly for a business meeting after the rooms were closed. The next three years we did canteen work both in Highland Park and in Fort Sheriâ€" dan, then a vast hospital. The next few years we studied patriotic subjects and presented flags and pictures as well as money for needed projects. In 1925 we presented the «city with a hundred foot iron flag staff to replace the wooden one given in 1896. That year, 1925, we relinâ€" quished our rummage sale to the Woman‘s club, and started having a yearly card party to raise funds for our work. We made four sets of our historic flags in 1926 and since have comâ€" pleted five sets. For several years we conducted and sponsored a school for foreign born to learn simple English and other subjects to enable them to beâ€" come citizens. In 1931 presented a flag staff to the village of Ravinia. That year also we sponsored the orâ€" ganization of a local C.A.R. chapâ€" ter, and were the originators of the plan to purchase a fine film showing the life of George Washington, each local patriotic organization contribâ€" uting and being part owner. This film was shown under our auspices, at a public reception on February 22, 1932, two hundred years after the birth of the Father of his Country. We did our share in being hostâ€"| esscs, as asked, at the Century of Progress in Chicago, in 1933 and 1934, in the Colonial village and the D.A.R. rooms. In 1934, we, with the chapters in Evanston, Kenilworth, and Glencoc, were hostesses for the annual state conference, held in Evanston that year. _ We presented a medal to a C.M.T C. boy at Fort Sheridan in 1935 and have done so each year since. Sponsored a girl for the Good Citizenship Pilgrimage yearly, sent a boy to the camp called Boy‘s State near Springfeld, Ill, each year, THE HIGHLAND PARK PRE33 have cooperated with other patriotic Some of the totals sent since our organization : Thee? es o uatarine retenrip * * y years tions and books.
