WORLD WAR ACTIVITIES.
SOON AFTER WAR was declared upon Germany by the United States, Mrs. T. H. Edwards, Mrs. Sig Harris and Mrs. Walter Clements began plans for organizing a Red Cross Chapter in the county.
At a mass meeting held at the court house, which was attended by men and women from all over the county, a chapter was organized known as the Dodge County Chapter of the American Red Cross, with the following officers: Chairman, D. D. Smith; Vice-Chairman, Mrs. T. H. Edwards; Treasurer, T. H. Prince. The first contribution was $1,366.35.
147
WORLD WAR ACTIVITIES
A work room was established in the Sunday school rooms of the Methodist Church, with Mrs. Sig Harris and Mrs. W. M. Clements in charge. All the women's organizations of the town co-operated in the work and thousands of garments, knitted garments, etc., were made, also surgical dressings of all kinds. Mrs. W. H. Clements was at the head of the Home Service Department, with Col. M. J. Carswell as treasurer. Their duty was to help the families of the soldiers who were in distress or needy circumstances, and to help them in getting in touch with their boys at the front. The amount of work done in both branches of the Red Cross can never be fully recorded, but Dodge County went over the top in all phases of war work, responding with generosity to every call. Mr. Prince resigned as treasurer of the chapter, and Miss Maude Peacock was elected in his place. After a few months Miss Peacock resigned, and Mrs. W. P. Cobb was elected, which position she held until the chapter was disbanded after the war.
As the increased demands for supplies came the United States Government began launching the Liberty Loan drives, and the Thrift and War Savings Stamps were put out for those who felt they could not afford to buy the larger bonds.
As each of the five calls came the people of Dodge County re- sponded generously and went over the top.
With so large a number of men in service the casualty lists which appeared daily in the newspapers were scanned with fear and ap- prehension by all the relatives and friends of those who were away.
The first Dodge County boy to pay the supreme sacrifice was Albert M. Hargrove, one of the most popular and most beloved young men of Eastman. He was Corporal of the 5th Marines, and was killed in the battle of Chateau Thierry or Belleau Woods, when the 5th and 6th Marines turned the tide of battle there.
COL. WM. FEW CHAPTER, Daughters of the American Revolution.
THE COL. WM. FEW CHAPTER, D. A. R., so named for one of the two signers of the Constitution of the United States from Georgia, was organized on the morning of April 23, 1913, at the home of Mrs. Valeria Sauls Peacock, mother of the organizing regent, Mrs. Bessie Peacock Wilkins. Fourteen women had qualified for mem-
148
HISTORY OF DODGE COUNTY
bership, of whom ten were present at the organization meeting. With the organizing regent presiding, the following officers were elected to serve for one year:
Regent, Mrs. Bessie Peacock Wilkins; First Vice-Regent, Mrs. Ethel King Hurst ; Recording Secretary, Mrs. Fannie Rudisill Bealer; Corresponding Secre- tary, Mrs. Ina Fisher Hall; Registrar, Miss Fannie Kate Persons; Treasurer, Mrs. Mamie Sapp Prince; Historian, Mrs. Clifford Peacock McRae.
The charter members of the chapter (several having joined the chapter before charter was acquired) are as follows:
Mrs. Bessie Peacock Wilkins, Mrs. Valeria Sauls Peacock, Mrs. Mabel Dye Williams. Mrs. Mamie Sapp Prince, Mrs. Clifford Peacock McRae, Mrs. Fan- nie Rudisill Bealer, Mrs. Ethel King Hurst, Mrs. Rosalind Waite Atwill, Mrs. Mittie Lucas Edwards, Miss Fannie Kate Persons, Mrs. Estora Peacock Stevens. Mrs. Ina Fisher Hall, Mrs. Isabel Jane Dye, Mrs. Addie Davis Cobb, Mrs. May DeLacey Jessup, Mrs. Mattie Me Williams Anderson, Mrs. Lillie Mae Peacock Smyley, Mrs. Pearl Peacock Mathers, Mrs. Julia Peacock Fitzgerald, Mrs. Ophelia Edwards Peacock, Mrs. Georgia B. Lee Whaley.
Of the twenty-one charter members only ten remain members of the chapter at this writing.
The infant chapter began its work along educational and con- structive lines, and during the first years of its existence established a record for interest and effort in these endeavors. Medals for the highest average in the study of United States history were offered in the different grades of the public school and this precedent has been followed throughout the following years. Another custom which has been established and followed yearly is the singing of the Christmas carols by the children of the town. The first band of carolers were trained by the regent, Mrs. Wilkins, and the vice- regent, Mrs. Hurst. It has now become a custom to make an of- fering to the carolers, this fund being sent to the Georgia orphans' homes.
Mrs. Bessie Peacock Wilkins, organizing regent and first regent, served the chapter four years, and her administration was marked by a number of outstanding events, the most notable being the erection of markers at the graves of two Revolutionary soldiers, John Daniel and Stewart Hamilton, and a bronze tablet erected at the court house to the memory of Wm. E. Dodge and William Pitt Eastman for whom the county and town are named. A chapter library was es- tablished; a flag pole was erected at the city school and a flag pre- sented; a rest room for country women was maintained at the
149
COL. WM. FEW CHAPTER, D. A. R.
county court house, and the Christmas charity work established which sent hundreds of bags of candy, fruit, and toys into the homes of the poor of our community.
In 1916 Mrs. Leroy Pharr was elected regent of the chapter, and is known as our "war regent," she having guided the chapter through the most trying and strenuous year of its life, doing this so well and with such ability that the war work of the Col. Wm. Few Chapter is one of which we are justly proud. During her one year's adminis- tration $40.00 were contributed to the Third Liberty Loan Drive; $25.00 to the purchase of an ambulance the Georgia D. A. R. were presenting; the maintaining of Marcel Girard, a French war orphan was undertaken; a $25.00 scholarship to the State College of Agri- culture was presented a county Canning Club girl, and a splendid flag pole and flag were presented to the county and erected at the court house grounds with appropriate ceremonies. Every member was doing Red Cross work and the chapter's individual contribution was two dozen glasses of jelly. Aside from this every phase of the routine work of the chapter was kept up.
In 1919 Mrs. W. B. Daniel, loved by the entire membership for her loyalty and faithful service, first came to us as regent. The splendid war work was continued under her wise guidance. It is interesting to note from a report from her at this time the work of the War Relief Committee of the chapter, which is as follows:

HISTORY OF DODGE COUNTY
A service flag, in which stars were arranged to form the D. A. R. insignia, was presented to the county at a beautiful and impressive service.
Mrs. Wright Daniel, daughter-in-law of the former regent, was elected in 1921 to guide the chapter, and during her one year's ad- ministration gave herself unsparingly to the work, continuing along lines already begun. The third scholarship to a Canning Club was presented this year and contributions to all State calls were gen- erously made.
Mrs. W. B. Daniel was again elected regent of the chapter and served in this capacity until 1926. These five years mark the re- construction period in our chapter life-the readjustment in manner of living from the strenuous war period to the quiet times of peace; the effort to refill our chapter's diminished coffers. To this end a Christmas bazaar, a Kiwanis banquet, and many other things were sponsored, netting the chapter treasury a goodly sum.
Much interest centered in the celebration of Armistice Day and the sale of poppies. On one occasion a large memorial parade was sponsored by the chapter. Other noteworthy undertakings were the presentation of a $200.00 scholarship; the planting of five memo- rial trees on the school grounds; the marking of the grave of Ica Atkins, Revolutionary soldier, and a Child Welfare class which re- sulted in a higher standard in the child health of our town and county. A memorial chair in honor of Mrs. Bessie Peacock Wilkins was presented to the new Constitution Hall in Washington, D. C.
In 1926 Mrs. Edwin Jessup became regent of the chapter and served faithfully and capably for one year. To Mrs. Jessup's broad knowledge of the work and wide grasp of the chapter's problems is due a year of splendid accomplishment. As first vice-regent during the enforced absence of the regent, it was Mrs. Jessup's duty to carry on the work during a part of the two previous years, and to her justly belongs the credit of many fulfilled hopes and dreams in our chapter life.
For the past three years Mrs. W. B. Daniel has again been direct- ing the affairs of the chapter, and these years mark a period of har- monious work.
It is a source of gratification to the chapter that two of its regents have been called into service as state officers; that it has always
151
COL. WM. FEW CHAPTER, D. A. R.
stood ready to answer any call for service from town and county; that it continues to function when other organizations have failed. This, we believe, is due to an unsurpassed loyalty and a devotion to the principles for which Daughters of the American Revolution stand.
Mrs. T. J. Sappington is the newly elected regent of the Col. Wm. Few Chapter, D. A. R.
Mrs. Sappington was Mary Frances Berger, daughter of James Hurt Berger and Fanny Elizabeth Clark Berger, and was born and reared in Charlotte County, Virginia. She is a graduate of Black- stone College for Women, Blackstone, Virginia. She came to Geor- gia as a school teacher. It was while teaching in Sparks College, Sparks. Georgia, that she met and married Col. T. J. Sappington, and came to Eastman to make her home.
Mrs. Sappington has been active in church work as well as in club work. She is District Secretary of the Woman's Missionary Society of the Methodist Church, teacher of the young ladies' class in the Methodist Sunday School. She was instrumental in re-organ- izing the Woman's Club, and served two years as its president. In May of this year she was elected regent of the D. A. R. chapter.

FANNY GORDON CHAPTER, U. D. C.
MRS. W. B. DANIEL, 10 years regent of D. A. R. Chapter.
THE FANNY GORDON CHAPTER, United Daughters of the Confederacy.
THE FANNY GORDON CHAPTER, United Daughters of the Confederacy, was organized on the 7th of May, 1908, with the following officers:
President, Mrs. Eugenia Campbell Edwards; Ist Vice-President, Miss Emma George Persons; 2nd Vice-President, Mrs. Hal Roberts; Recording Secretary, Mrs. J. M. Bohannon; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. S. C. Smiley; Treasurer, Mrs. Walter M. Clements; Registrar, Miss Fanny Kate Persons; Historian, Mrs. J. D. Williams.
One of the first achievements of the U. D. C. was the erection of the Confederate monument at a cost of $3,000.00. The membership continued to grow, this being the first organization of a social nature in the town. A Lyceum course was put on for many years, and many other things for the betterment of the town at large.
Mrs. Edwards continued as President of the chapter until 1915 when Mrs. Sig Harris became the President. She held the office one
154
HISTORY OF DODGE COUNTY
year, during which time the State Convention was held here. It was at this convention that the U. D. C. decided on the Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial. Mrs. Walter Lamar of Macon was State President at that time. Many elaborate social affairs were held dur- ing the convention for the guests. Mrs. Edwards again took the leadership in 1916 and served until May, 1917, when Mrs. W. P. Cobb was elected as the President. War had just been declared with Germany, and this meant much hard work for the U. D. C. mem- bers. They plunged in undaunted and did much worthwhile war work. All members began knitting for the soldiers. They also worked at the Red Cross work room, making garments and rolling bandages. The chapter did individual work apart from the Red Cross. A bed was endowed in one of the American hospitals in France, garments and knitted sets were sent over seas, the members assisted in all phases of war work, including the Liberty Loans, the War Savings Stamps, etc.
THE AMERICAN LEGION AND AUXILIARY.
THE DODGE COUNTY POST of the American Legion was organized in 1929 with about thirty members. The membership has grown stead- ily since, and now numbers about a hundred. A. E. Rozar was elected the Post Commander and P. M. Burch, Adjutant. At the next elec- tion P. M. Burch was elected Commander. A. E. Rozar was again elected Commander, but resigned, and his brother, W. C. Rozar, was elected to fill out his unexpired term. The newly elected officers are: J. G. Williamson, Commander, and D. F. Thomas, Adjutant.
The Legion has accomplished many things worthwhile since its organization. Disabled veterans have been given aid in preparation of their claims, and in getting them placed in Government hospitals. The Legion sponsored the distribution of 5,040 sacks of flour given by the American Red Cross for the relief of the poor in Dodge County this summer.
