Mrs. Norton attended the third meeting of the Oregon Trail Commission, held May 2, 1911, and was elected vice-president in place of Mrs. Oreal S. Ward whom she had succeeded as state re- gent. During her term Mrs. Norton vigorously prosecuted the work of marking the Oregon trail, with the assistance of Mrs. Charles B. Letton, whom she had appointed as chairman of the Oregon trail committee. During her administration the contract was made for regulation markers to be used in marking the trail, and several were erected. There were also several special monu- ments erected ranging in cost from $100 to $350. The first monument to be planned for during this period was the one on the Kansas-Nebraska state line, to cost $350, which, however, was not dedicated until later, and the last monument to be dedi- cated during Mrs. Norton's term was the one on the Nebraska- Wyoming line, costing $200, for which Mrs. Norton raised the money from the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolu- tion in Nebraska and Wyoming. During this time there was also a very careful survey made of the trail and sites for monu- ments were selected.


In April, 1910, Mrs. Andrew K. Gault of Omaha was elected vice-president general from Nebraska at the national congress and reelected in 1912, serving, in all, four years.


The eleventh annual conference was held in Lincoln, October

HISTORY OF NEBRASKA SOCIETY


22-24, 1912. Mrs. Mathew T. Scott, president general, was the honor guest. Amendments to the by-laws were adopted in har- mony with the by-laws of the national organization and the date of the state conference was changed from October to March. It was provided that all state officers should serve for one term of two years, and the per capita tax was raised from ten cents to twenty-five cents. Mrs. Warren Perry of Fairbury was elected state regent and Mrs. Charles H. Aull of Omaha vice-regent.


The twelfth annual state conference convened at Fairbury, March 17-19, 1914. During Mrs. Perry's term of office there were organized the following chapters:


Oregon Trail chapter, Hebron, October 20, 1913. Jonathan Cass chapter, Weeping Water, January 23, 1914. Elijah Gove chapter, Stromsburg, February 16, 1914. Fontenelle chapter, Plattsmouth, April 21, 1914.


Reverend Reuben Pickett chapter, Chadron, March 4, 1915.


At the close of her administration twelve organizing regents were at work: Mrs. Eleanor Murphey Smith, Crete; Mrs. Cap- itola Skiles Tulley, Alliance; Mrs. Mabel Raymond, Scottsbluff; Miss Jessie Kellogg, Red Cloud; Mrs. Alice Dilworth, Holdrege; Mrs. Clara King Jones, Wayne; Mrs. C. M. Wallace, Shelton ; Mrs. Charles Brown, Sutton; Mrs. Margaret Orr, Clay Center ; Mrs. Viola Romigh, Gothenburg; Mrs. Leona A. Craft, Morrill; Dr. Anna Cross, Crawford.


The most important work to engage the attention of the state society during the administration of Mrs. Perry was the erection of monuments on the Oregon trail, and the accumulation of material for the present volume of reminiscences. A large num- ber of the regulation markers on the Oregon trail were erected during this time; several special monuments dedicated and others arranged for.


The thirteenth state conference was held in Omaha, March 17-19, 1915. Mrs. Charles H. Aull of Omaha was elected state regent, and Mrs. E. G. Drake of Beatrice vice-regent. Three chapters have been organized under the present administration :


Capt. Christopher Robinson chapter, Crawford, June 16, 1915. Butler-Johnson chapter, Sutton, June 17, 1915.


Three Trails chapter, Gothenburg, December 31, 1915.


At the present time plans are being formulated for marking


340 NEBRASKA PIONEER REMINISCENCES


the California trail from Omaha and Florence along the north side of the Platte river to the Wyoming line. This work will be carried forward by the Daughters, through the agency of the Nebraska Memorial Association of which the state regent is vice-president.
