A preliminary meeting of the prospective members of a new chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution was held at the home of iss Marian Larrabee on April 3rd. This meeting was mainly through the efforts of Miss Larrabee who has been very much interested, and who was a member at large from 1903 to 1913, when she became affiliated with Alleghewe Chapter at Coudersport, Pa. ("Alleghewe" is the Indian name from which Allegheny is derived). Miss Larrabee was appointed Organizing Regent by Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, State Regent.

I think most of the smaller chapters, like Emporium and St Marys, dwindled away. The nearest chapter is Dubois or Bradford. I thought about joining at one time but it seemed like a bit of expense so I put it off for at least a few more years.
