History |
|
On November 7, 1921, fifteen ladies who were members at large of the
National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, assembled at
the home of Miss Marianna Barnes to perfect the organization of a
chapter in Lewis County, West Virginia. Mrs. Earle Jackson was
the organizing regent and Mrs. Blanche Kurtz was appointed
secretary. Although much business was discussed, no name was
chosen for the new chapter. The meeting was adjourned. |
|
On November 15, at the
home of Mrs. Mary Neuberger, sixteen ladies met and devoted most of
this meeting to organizing the still unnamed new chapter. The
results of their work were conveyed to the National Board who
confirmed the appointment of Alcinda B Jackson as the new chapter's
first regent and authorized the organization of the chapter dating
from December 9, 1921. |
|
On December 9, with
Mrs. Jackson as regent, the new chapter met at the home of Mrs.
James Ralston. Gertrude B Edwards was elected vice regent,
Blanche S. Kurtz as recording secretary, Louise M Richards as
treasurer, and Emma H Ralston as registrar. The Name
"Trans-Allegheny" was unanimously chosen for the chapter and
approved by the National Board on February 8, 1922. |

Trans-Allegheny has met
continuously since its organization. |
