ELIZABETH GORDON BRADLEY CHAPTER NSDAR
WACO, TEXAS
| Elizabeth Gordon Bradley Chapter NSDAR was organized as a Bicentennial project of the Henry Downs Chapter NSDAR. It was suggested that the new chapter meet in the mornings since Henry Downs Chapter NSDAR met in the late afternoon. This would allow young mothers to attend the meetings while their children were in school. |
| Sara Evans and Urena Johnson accepted the challenge to find enough members to qualify for the formation of another chapter. They finally found thirty-six who either proved their ancestries in order to join or who transferred into the infant chapter from Henry Downs Chapter NSDAR. |
| The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was encouraging new chapters to select a woman patriot for the name of their chapter. The name of Sara Evans' ancestor, Elizabeth Gordon Bradley, was selected. |
| The organizational meeting took place at the home of Sara Evans on Tuesday, October 15, 1976. It was a very impressive meeting with the attendance of Mrs. A. Art Williams, Jr., the TSDAR Registrar; Mrs. Robert H. Parkinson, Organizing Regent; Mrs. Chester A. Howell, Chapter Regent of Henry Downs Chapter NSDAR; and Mrs. Urena Johnson, Chapter Registrar of Henry Downs Chapter NSDAR. |
| Elizabeth Gordon Bradley Chapter NSDAR has grown in 2006 to one hundred members who live throughout the United States. Our chapter works on national, state, and chapter committees. We strive to provide historical, educational, and patriotic services to our communities. |
| The seven remaining charter members helped to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the chapter at the Constitution Week Luncheon in September 2001. |
