did produce a near perfect Republic. Will they keep it, or will
they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of Freedom?
Material abundance without character is the surest way to
destruction."
~Thomas Jefferson ~

| Mrs. Samuel Meredith
Ragland organized the Lone Star Chapter of Texarkana, Texas, in
October, 1909. The chapter was named for the Lone Star State as
proposed by Mrs. W. T. Hudgins. With Texarkana being in Arkansas and
Texas, the chapter received members from both states and grew rapidly.
Soon, our Arkansas sisters withdrew and organized a chapter for the
State of Arkansas, naming it the Texarkana Chapter Daughters of the
American Revolution.
Mrs. Andrew Rose
(Bessie Williams), a charter member of the Lone Star Chapter, served
as Texas State Historian from 1912-1914 and the Texas State Regent
from 1914-1916
The 16th
annual State Conference of the Texas Society Daughters of the American
Revolution was held in Texarkana at the Central Christian Church and
the Huckins House. This 1915 meeting was hosted by the Lone Star
Chapter and chaired by charter member, Susan Ferguson Sanderson (Mrs.
Noah P.)
