My great grandmother belonged and I've got her membership badges. Pretty things and they have aged beautifully. (She was in Erie County, too.) Like the UDC, the DUV was organized largely to help take care of the aging veterans. When the old boys were all gone, both the DUV and UDC dropped greatly in membership. Same things happened to the sons' groups. (I had folks on both sides.)
