A Brief H / Daughters of th | ? \ In 1889 the Legislature of the I State of Tennessee pave 475 acres . of the Hermitage farm (the home rofvVndrew Jackson) to the Frank jaiham Bivouac, the first charter^ ' organization of Confederate ^diers in the South, for a Soldiers' !> Home. The ladies of Nashville organized I and chartered what was known as | the "Ladies' Auxiliary to the Conjj federate Soldiers' Home." At a | dinner given by this Auxiliary in L May, 1892, Mrs* M C Goodlet sug1 gested the uniting of all organiza?-/'tions of Southern women into one grand body, to be known as | Daughters of the Confederacy. I This suggestion was taken up by the newspapers and brought prom inently before the public. Mrs Goodlet also wrote letters to every organization, of which she could hear, and to a number of promi> nent women in the South, inviting them to meei in Nashville Sepr tember 10, 1894, for the purpose of organization. Only three States sent delegates to this meeting: Georgia, Texas and Tennessee. An association was organized known as the "National Daughters of the Confederacy," and Mrs Goodlet was made president. March 30, 1895, by call of the president, the association met in extraordinary session to amend the constitution. At this meeting there i were delegates from Nashville, I Savannah, Wilmington, Charleston, ' and Jackson chapters. The Atlanta chapter invited the association to meet in their city in November, 1895, at which time the name was changed to "United ^ Daughters of the Confederacy."

On March 13, 1907, a charter for the Williamsburg chapter, to be I located at Kingstree, S C, was j granted by the president-general of the United Daughters of the Coic > leracy. The chapter began w.'th a membership of seven, which diw ig the past three years has incA| ed to twenty-five. Since organization the chapter has contributed to the many causes dear to all Southerners. However, thA definite purpose of the ladies hfcbeen, with the help of the county people, to erect a monument in honor of the soldiers of Williamsburg who fought for the Southland, and towards this end they have di rected their energies. We are to see their efforts rewarded on May 10, when the monument will be unI veiled. The chapter hopes next to pu * i istory of "t le Confederacy. I ???
