Just thought I would pass this along, for 2 reasons: 1. What is the Daughters of Pocahonats? Where is Terrapin Park??? I never heard of either before now. Duh!!! 2. The 2nd item is for anyone researching the ANDREWS and/or WALKER surname. Wasn't M. R. Andrews a professor of Marietta College? Marietta Times past: Sept. 8, 2003 100 years ago The Daughters of Pocahontas held a very enjoyable picnic at Terrapin Park. About 150 people were in attendance. Dancing was the main feature of the day. Uncertainty still surrounds the whereabouts of Mrs. Robert P. Walker in the minds of her local relatives. She is the daughter of Professor M.R. Andrews. News of the death of her husband of smallpox in the Philippines was received some little time ago. http://mariettatimes.com/edit/story/098202003_edt02tpst.asp Debbie Noland Nitsche Diamonddeb@comcast.net FAMILY HISTORY SITE http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/n/i/t/Debra-Nitsche// PHOTO SITE OF "FAMILIES OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, OHIO" http://hometown.aol.com/familiesofwashco/index.html OLD MARIETTA & WASHINGTON COUNTY, OHIO PHOTOS http://hometown.aol.com/washcoohiopics/myhomepage/collection.html WASHINGTON COUNTY, OHIO HISTORICAL & GENEALOGICAL "LINKS" http://hometown.aol.com/washcohistory/index.html

http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/masonicmuseum/fraternalism/red_men.htm Improved Order of Red Men - IORM Daughters of Pocahontas ... History of the Red Men The Order of Red Men traces its origin to certain secret Patriotic Societies founded before the American Revolution. They were established to promote Liberty and to defy the tyranny of the English Crown. Among the early groups were: The Sons of Liberty, Sons of Tamina and the Red Men. On December 16, 1773 a group of men, all members of the Sons of Liberty, met in Boston to protest the tax on tea imposed by England. When their protest went unheeded, they disguised themselves as Mohawk Indians, proceeded to Boston harbor and dumped overboard 342 chests of English tea. During the Revolutionary War, members of secret societies quenched their council fires and took up muskets to join with the Continental Army. To the cause of Freedom and Liberty, they pledged their lives, their fortunes and sacred honors. At the end of the hard fought war, the American Republic was born and was soon acknowledged among the Nations of the world. Following the Revolution the various secret societies founded before and during the conflict continued in existence as brotherhoods or fraternities. For the next 35 years each group went its own way, under many different names. In 1813, at historic Fort Mifflin, near Philadelphia, several of these groups came together and formed one organization known as the Society of Red Men. ...The Degree of Pocahontas was created for women on January 15, 1887, drawing on the legend of its namesake and the virtues of her life. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie Noland Nitsche" <Diamonddeb@comcast.net> To: <OHWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 12, 2003 9:53 PM Subject: [OHWASH] 100 Years Ago (1903) > Just thought I would pass this along, for 2 reasons: > 1.
