Bowler intro duced Mrs. John Chappell, pro gram leader. Mrs. Chappell gave a most interesting and inspiring talk on “Ironmaker of the Confed eracy.” The Tredegar Iron Works in Richmond, located between the James river and the Kanawha canal, just northeast of Belle Isle, was the largest iron man ufacturer in the Confederacy. Secession, which the Richmond industrialists desired and en couraged, made Tredegar pro duction crucial to the South. The Tredegar Iron Works ran day and night to supply the Confederacy in 1861. Between 1840, and 1860, the company cast and delivered 881 pieces of ordanance to the fed eral government. During the tension-filled days surrounding the Nashville con frontation and 'the compromise of 1850, the South Carolina legislature appropriated funds to purchase a substantial num ber of heavy sea coast artill ery. The Tredegar Iron Works cast 64 pieces of ordnance for South Carolina in 1850 and 1851. A decade later some of these weapons played key roles in 'the bombardment that open ed the war Between the States. Mrs. Chappell stated that in the panic of 1873, many iron makers were brought to ruin. The Tredegar Iron Works, shackled with a sizeable debt, lacked capital 'to make the transition to steel. It was at this time that Richmond yield ed its position as industrial capital to Birmingham. The Tredegar Company is still in existence, operating a small rolling mill at a new site in Chesterfield county near Rich mond. The old plant, although gutted by fire in 1952, remains impressive evidence that the industrial economy of the South once revolved around a few acres of land in the capital of the Confederacy. The chaplain, Mrs. W. E. Shealy, led members in the ritual. A Memorial Resolution was read for the chapter by Miss Luellen Cannon Senn of Manassas, Virginia, daughter of Clarence W.
