TEXAS DIVISION UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY - 1902

Transcribed by: Renee Pierce Smelley     <IRSmelley2@aol.com>
Transcribed: July and August 2004
Submitted: October 7, 2004 for use on the TXGenWeb Project
Book Notes: This book did not come with a index. I have prepared a index to help you locate the main contents in the book. In some cases I have provided notes within the transcription of the book. (Notes: Will be recorded in parenthesis).

During 1902 the President of the Texas Division, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Mrs. Benedette B. Tobin from Austin, died. After Mrs. Tobin's death Miss Adelia A. Dunovant from Houston took over as President of the Texas Division, U. D. C. During the Second Day - Afternoon Session of the Conference a tribute to Mrs. Tobin was given. Many Chapters record in their Report of Chapter that they held a memorial service for Mrs. Tobin.

This book was found in the attic of a home in Marshall, TX. Along with this 1902 Texas Division United Daughters Of the Confederacy book a 1913 book and 1914 book for the Texas Division, U. D. C. were also found. There was also a San Antonio Light Newspaper from 1913 found that included a article about the Texas Division Convention being held in San Antonio that year. The books and newspaper article were given to my father, Tony Pierce several years ago, and he let me use them so I could transcribe them for the TXGenWeb Project and USGenWeb Special Projects. A copy of this transcription is now located at the TXGenWeb Project and at the USGenWeb Special Projects at USGenWeb.
Note to the TXGenWeb County / Town Coordinators: If you are a County or Town Coordinator of a TXGenWeb Project you are welcome to place your county/town REPORTS OF CHAPTER found on pages 81- 123, ROSTER OF CHAPTERS found on pages 124-216, image of the cover of the book, and any other additional information that pertains to the county/town on your TXGenWeb Project. Your county/town may also have a photo of a State Division Officer that you are welcome to use as well. You may also find Daughters Of Confederacy "Who Have Passed To Rest In 1901" on page 57, as some deceased members where not recorded in their Roster of Chapters found on pages 124-216.
        Because some counties or towns have one or more Chapters you should first look at the STATISTICAL EXHIBIT FOR YEARS 1901-1902 and CHAPTERS ORGANIZED in 1902 found on pages 217- 218 for a listing of the Chapters and the Towns and Counties they are located in.
I only ask in return that you provide a link back to this book on the web page you construct for your TXGenWeb Project..
    If you need help with retrieving any information from the book for your project you are welcome to contact me at my McMullenCounty@aol.com email address with any questions that you have.
