The
Alexander Love Chapter in Houston Texas was organized in
1923 by a group of ladies who felt the need to pursue an
active participation in patriotic work. A hospital
for disabled World War I veterans located at Camp Logan
(now Memorial Park) offered the ladies the volunteer service
they were seeking.
Several
meetings were held before the October 19,1923, meeting at
the First Christian Church in Houston, Texas, when the Alexander
Love Chapter NSDAR was formally chartered. Mrs. Rowan and
Mrs. McFarland were recognized as the co-founders.
A
motion was made and carried that the chapter be named after
Alexander Love who was the Revolutionary South Carolina
ancestor of 10 chapter members of the Sterling Family
.
Seventy
two ladies were charter members of the chapter including a past State
Regent, Mrs. I. B. McFarland ; a past State Chaplain, Mrs. H. S.
Renick; and past State Historian, Mrs. W. A. Rowan.
The
Chapter Colors are Blue and White.
The
Chapter Motto is “Add Honor to Ancestral Honor.”

The Chapter Flower is the Cherokee Rose.
The
Alexander Love Chapter has continued a strong tradition
of Member service to NSDAR and TXDAR since our organization
in 1923.
Our
membership surpassed 200 in 2006. We have an Evening Committee
that meets seven times a year. Our day chapter meetings
are held the second Thursday of the month at noon, September
through May.
We
invite ladies interested in supporting an organization steeped
in patriotism, service to education and dedicated to the
preservation of our American heritage especially in our
Houston area. This is the tradition of Alexander Love Chapter
NSDAR.
