Jamestown Chapter was organized in October, 1900, withi Miss Stella Florine Broadhead, regent. One of the early members, a "real" daughter of the American Revolution, Mrs. Maria Cheney Hall, died January 17, 1903, aged 97 years. She was a daughter of Ebenezer Cheney, a Revolutionary soldier, who enlisted at the age of seventeen and served as a private. The Chapter, through its committee on Revolutionary Burials, has compiled a valuable list of soldiers and their burial places in Chautauqua, this list, with those from other Chapters, appearing in the work.

Major Benjamin Bosworth Chapter was organized ir

PATRIOTIC SOCIETIES

Silver Creek, May 12, 1910, and now has a membership of 106, of whom forty-six are charter members. The Chapter is active along the special lines to which it is devoted, and each year accomplishes a considerable amount of worthy work of a patriotic nature. To en- courage the study of our national life and achievement, two money prizes are given to students of United States History, and an annual event is the entertain- ment of the members of the Grand Army of the Repub- lic on Decoration Day. The Chapter also assists in decorating all soldiers' graves in the village, and at- .tends the Memorial Day service held by the veterans. By request of the Post, the regent of the Chapter, Mrs. Nellie E. Stewart, took in the Memorial Day services of 1920, by giving a reading.

During the World War, 1917-18, the Chapter pur- chased a Liberty bond which was later donated to Red Cross work; subscribed to the Lilliloi fund, maintained a French orphan one year, and assisted in every pos- sible way the work of the Red Cross. The ladies of the Chapter are now taking up Americanization work in different phases.

Ellicott Chapter, of Falconer, was organized by Mrs. Myrtle Blood Reed, June 14. 1916, the youngest of the Chautauqua county chapters, but one of the most vig- orous and useful. The Chapter was organized with thirty-six members, Mrs. Myrtle Blood Reed, the first regent. From its beginning, Ellicott Chapter has car- ried on an active campaign of patriotic work, and has accomplished a great deal in the way of creating a spirit of loyalty and cooperation which has not been without practical results. During the war with Germany the Chapter organized a Red Cross branch, sewed, knit and saved, bought bonds, stamps, and took upon itself the support of a French orphan, and has since planted trees, appropriately marked, as memorials to the soldier dead. Since the war, Americanization work has been vigorously prosecuted, the amount of work the ladies of this small Chapter have accomplished along educa- tional and helpful fines among the foreign residents of Falconer being truly remarkable.

Mrs. Reed served as regent for two terms, then re- tired in favor of Mrs. Della Hooker Johnson, who served two years, and in 1920 was succeeded by Mrs. E. P. Jollie. Other officers of the Chapter are: Mrs. H. N. Crosby, vice-regent ; recording secretary, Miss Cora Harris; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Frederick DeBell; treasurer, Miss Gertrude E. Mosher ; historian, Mrs. Kate E. Davis; register, Mrs. Ethel E. Sample.

SONS OF THE REVOLUTION-A Chapter of the Sons of the Revolution was organized in Jamestown, Lewis Hall the first regent. He was succeeded by Rev. Al- bert Smalley, with Dr. William M. Bemus vice-regent. The Chapter meets at the call of its officers; Frank H. Mott. regent (1919).

REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS-Among the pioneer settlers of Chautauqua county were many men whose un- daunted courage and willing spirit of selfsacrifice for their country had been demonstrated as soldiers in the American Revolution. They came into the almost un- broken wilderness of Western New York, sturdy of heart and courageous, to give their best in the develop- ment of new homes and the advancement of civic life in the community. Many of them were conspicuous in their activity in the growing affairs of the little set- tlements, and that same spirit of loyalty and unselfish- ness that won American independence was shown in all the ventures and problems of the pioneer life. In many of the little rural cemeteries as well as in the larger villages of the county are the graves of these pioneer settlers who were valiant soldiers of the

American Revolution. In some instances where fami- lies purchased acres from the Holland Company per- haps, and cleared them for farms, a small corner was set aside for a "grave yard" as it was called, and today some of these places are kept up and in good condition, in others the weeds and undergrowth have had full sway until the headstones have fallen and become imbedded in the tangle and consequently hard to decipher. In one instance, while on a searching tour for these graves, we interviewed an old man plowing in the fields nearby. "Yes," he said, "it is a pity these graveyards are not better kept. A man purchased that farm," pointing with his thumb in the direction we were bound for, "he used the stones for potato bins in his cel- lar and began plowing up the graves; the neighbors got after him and he had to stop." We went to this place and found what once had been a pretty iron fence, a gravel walk and hedge; the hedge had grown to an enormous height, the vines and weeds had long had full sway, and the grave of the Revolutionary soldier was not to be found.

Chautauqua county has five chapters of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, namely : Major Benja- min Bosworth Chapter, of Silver Creek; Ellicott Chap- ter, of Falconer ; Jamestown Chapter, of Jamestown ; Patterson Chapter, of Westfield; and Benjamin Pres- cott Chapter, of Fredonia. These Chapters have located all graves of Revolutionary soldiers as far as it has been possible to do so, and United States Government markers have been placed at a number of the graves. Doubtless there are many other soldiers of whom no record has been kept, who are sleeping their last sleep in unknown places and we have no way of finding out definitely where these graves are located .* The fol- lowing graves are noted by name and location :

He was blind dur- ing the last twenty-six years of his life and closely confined to the farm near Stow upon which he died.

THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC-On October 27, 1869, a post of the Grand Army of the Republic was or- ganized in Jamestown with the following officers : Commander, Maj. W. S. Cameron; senior vice-com- mander, Lt. Col. D. B. Allen ; junior vice-commander, W. H. Proudfit ; adjutant, Capt. M. P. Bailey ; surgeon, Dr. A. Waterhouse; chaplain, Robert H. Smith; ser- geant-major, A. P. Shearman; quartermaster sergeant, Horace Aplin. The Post was No. 107, and had sixteen charter members. It was mustered by Adjutant Beck- with, of Elmira, and held its first regular meeting in the old Masonic Hall. This organization is in no sense political, but is designed to keep alive old army associa- tions and to care for the interests and comforts of old soldiers, their widows and orphans. The post flourished, and within three years had a membership of about 150, when it began to decline, the members began to lose interest, and in 1872 the post gave up its charter.

In the summer of 1882 a post was organized at Kennedy, and in August, James M. Brown Post No. 285 was organized at Jamestown, and named in honor of Col. James M. Brown, who was killed while leading his command at the battle of Fair Oaks, Virginia. It was organized with a charter list of 55, prospered, and at one time had a membership of over 400, but death has de- pleted its ranks until at the present time it has less than 100 members.

Other posts in the county are: H. C. Sturdevant, No. 282, at Kennedy; Sheldon, 295, at Sherman; Bullock, 304, at Cherry Creek; E. F. Carpenter, 308, at May- ville ; J. C. Drake, 317, at Sinclairville ; William Sackett, 324, at Westfield; Philander Cook, 389, at Panama ; William O. Stevens, 393, at Dunkirk; E. D. Holt, 403, at Fredonia; John F. Smith, 429, at Stockton; Gurdon L. Pierce, 439, at Forestville; R. M. Starring, 523, at Silver Creek; Cyrus Adams, 589, at Frewsburg-mak- ing fourteen posts organized in the county. Several have disbanded or given up their charters within the

past few years, and others have been reduced by death until there are now but a few posts that hold regular meetings, but on Memorial Day they meet and march to the cemeteries to decorate the graves of their de- ceased comrades and hold memorial services in the cemeteries or in some church or hall. Many of the villages of the county have beautiful monuments erected to the memory of their soldier dead.

The city of Jamestown purchased the residence of the late Governor R. E. Fenton, in the center of the city, comprising nearly three acres of land, with the fine residence of the governor, and also the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Albert Gilbert, situated on the north side of the lot at a price of $35,000. The house will be used as a memorial, and also as a meeting place for all ex-soldier organizations and sons and daughters of such.

It is also intended to erect a suitable monument on the grounds some time in the near future. It is now known as Memorial Park, and is kept up by the city and where may be found many people in the sum- mer days and evenings. Band concerts are given there and many organizations meet for social pleasures.

The Gilbert residence is now used for a meeting place of James M. Brown Post, No. 285, of Jamestown, and as a community house for Ira Lon Spring Post of the American Legion of the World War.

SONS OF VETERANS-James Hall Camp No. 111, Di- vision of New York, Sons of Veterans, U. S. A., has a total membership of seventy-five. Its meetings are held the second and fourth Monday evening of each month at Camp Headquarters, Jamestown, New York. Its official staff for the year 1920 consists of the following: Commander, Howard G. Brindley; senior vice-com- mander, James F. Miller ; junior vice-commander, Glen M. Burt; Camp council, Floyd E.

It was the third camp organized in Jamestown, Camp No. 8 and Post No. 29 having disbanded in previous years. It was named in honor of Captain James Hall, of Com- pany B, 72d Regiment New York Volunteer Infantry, formerly a resident of Jamestown, who rendered gal- lant service in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-65, and lost his life in the battle of Malvern Hill, Va., his body having never been recovered. The first officers of the Camp were: Commander, Donald S. Brown; senior vice-commander, James P. Stafford; junior vice-com- mander, Charles E. Maclease ; camp council, Merlin A. Bliss, C. Vern Willard, James S. McNeight; patriotic instructor, Frank S. Treadway; chaplain, Rev. Horace G. Ogden; secretary, Edward R. Bootey; treasurer, Richard D. Pickard ; color bearer, Clinton B. Falconer ; guide, Clair E. Kent ; inside guard, William D. Putnam ; outside guard, L. Walter Emory.

The order has for its principles and objects the in- culcation of patriotism, the perpetuation of the memory of the valiant services rendered by the soldiers, sailors, and marines of the Civil War, and the rendering of as- sistance to needy and worthy veterans and their fam- ilies.

one of the chief aims and events in the curriculum of the Sons of Veterans. Each member counts it a sacred privilege and duty "To keep green in the minds of all the memories of those both living and dead, who sacrificed so much, that the life of the Nation might be preserved."

Those who have attained the rank of past commander of the present Camp in order of their service, are as follows: Donald S. Brown, 1910; Frank S. Treadway, IQI1; Arthur M. Stone, 1912; Clyde L. Emery, 1913; Ara V. Stone, 1914; J. Arthur Button, 1915; Marvin L. Clapp, 1916; Thomas W. Little, 1917; Shirley S. Tay- lor, 1918; Herald S. Stone, 1919.

The Camp has several times been distinguished by election or appointment from its membership of officers to the New York Division roster. Among such divi- sion officials have been : Frank S. Treadway, member of division council; Marvin L. Clapp, division counsel- lor (two terms) ; division patriotic instructor (one term) ; William D. Putnam, division press correspon- dent. MARVIN L. CLAPP.

THE WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS-As an auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic, the Woman's Relief Corps has been of great aid and assistance and with them has "striven to honorably perpetuate the memory of their heroic deeds."

There are four corps now (1920) in Chautauqua coun- ty, the number now smaller than formerly, the Corps like the Posts gradually decreasing as the old veterans and their consorts succumb to the years. The Corps in the county, all of which bear the same name as the Post to which they are auxiliary, are: Sheldon Corps, No. 17, at Sherman; Kate M. Page, president, the meetings being held at the home of the president on the second Friday of each month in the afternoon; James M. Brown Corps, No. 73, whose full history fol- lows; James A. Hall Corps, No. 108, at Brocton, Lena Bullock, president, the meeting place, G. A. R. Hall, on first and third Friday afternoons.

F. F. Carpenter Corps, No. 150, at Mayville, Rose Parker, president. The meeting place Godard Hall, the first Wednesday evening of each month.

Sheldon Corps was organized April 28, 1894; James M. Brown Corps, March 1, 1886; James A. Hall Corps, March 10, 1888: E. F. Carpenter Corps, February 3, 1897. As the oldest Corps in the county the history of James M. Brown Post is of special interest and is here given from the pen of one of the charter members of the Corps and its now president, Mrs. Lona D. Brown :

James M. Brown Woman's Relief Corps No. 73, Aux- iliary to James M. Brown Post No. 285, Grand Army of the Republic, was instituted March 1, 1886. It was organized at the request of Post Brown, and largely through the efforts of Otis Conway, the son of a veter- an, and was the first corps organized in Chautauqua county. Mrs. Susan E. Travers of Waterloo, N. Y .. the Department or State Secretary, was the instituting and installing officer. The organization took place in G. A. R. Hall, then on the southwest corner of East Third and Pine streets. The twenty-eight original members whose names appear on the charter are as follows :- Mrs. Almira Peckham, Miss Grace Townley, Miss Louise Bradshaw, Mrs. Lestina Bradshaw, Mrs. Levina Hedman, Mrs. Lona D. Brown, Miss M. Annie Jones, Mrs. Addie M. Brockway, Mrs. Sarah E. Yale, Mrs. Myra E. Pickard, Mrs. Jennie M. Townley, Mrs. Alcie Brown, Mrs. Katherine H. Baker, Mrs. Annis Bolton, Mrg. Helen T. Warr, Mrs. Sylvia Willard, Miss Ida Willard, Mrs. Jennie Conway, Mrs. Lovina Fal- coner, Mrs. Celina Rappole, Mrs. Charlotte Town, Mrs. Nellie Jones, Mrs. Jane E. Cheney, Mrs. Mary E. Jones, Mrs. Annie DeLing, Miss Nora E. Rappole, Miss Lottie Jones, Mrs. Electa Sherman. Only five of these women are now alive, and members of Corps No. 73. The object and purpose of the Woman's Relief Corps Is to especially assist the members of the Grand Army of the Republic and to perpetuate the memory of thelr

herole deeds; to assist veterans that need help and protection: to lend aid to their widows and orphans and to army nurses; to maintain true allegiance to the United States of America; to inculcate lessons of patriotism and love of country in the communities in which they live; to encourage the spread of univer- sal liberty and equal rights to all. Recently the Corps has broadened Its scope by the addition of American- ization and Child Welfare Work and lending assis- tance to veterans of all wars. How well Corps No. 73 has fulfilled its mission may be seen by the fol- lowing brief account of its activities.

On Memorial Day 1886, the Corps, soon after instal- lation, by invitation from Post Brown, met in the Deluge Hose building, to make wreaths and bouquets for soldiers' graves. They have had charge and per- formed this work every year since, meeting in the same building until 1919, when on account of the bad condition of the building, the Firemen offered the use of the Hose rooms in the city building. Several of the widows of men who lost their lives during the Civil War came each year to help in this work. Mrs. Ann Vanderburg, whose first husband was Capt. Dennis Willard, came every year and made the wreath for the old flag, also the wreaths for the unknown dead, and later for the tomb of Gov. Fenton. This work she performed until Memorial Day, 1918, when failing health prevented. For years, members and their friends and citizens contributed potted plants and ans' graves. loose flowers for wreaths and decorating the veter- In 1900 the city began buying potted plants for this purpose, one for each soldier's grave.

In 1890 the Corps began serving lunches following the Memorial exercises at the cemetery, to all Civil War Veterans, and have continued to do so each year since. For a number of years they also served lunch to the Fenton Guards; then to Company E, Spanish War Veterans, and Sons of Veterans. Later, when Company E hecame World War Veterans, having so large a number they could not be accommodated in the hall, and the other organizations had auxiliaries of their own, the Corps decided to serve only Civil War Veterans as formerly.

Jamestown Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, have for several years sent the Corps a check for ten dollars to help meet the Memorial Day expenses. This and contributions from individuals, amounting to from one to five dollars, have been used toward the lunch. Corps members themselves have al- ways contributed cakes, salad, etc. The Corps never paid rent for a place of meeting-a fact of which they are very proud. Post Brown has always furnished their Auxiliary with a hall, the Corps in turn doing many things to help the Post.

Commencing Memorial Day, 1887, the Corps gave each year to Post Brown from fifteen to twenty-five dollars toward defraying the expenses of the day. In 1900 such expenses were assumed by the city. Also the Corps gave twenty-five dollars toward the pagoda which the Post had erected in Lake View cemetery for their use on Memorial Day. This pagoda has long since served its purpose and is now gone. In January, 1887, the Post entertained Gen. Lucius Fairchild, af- terwards commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., in the old Firemen's Hall. Towards an entertainment fund for this occasion, the Corps gave ten dollars. The Corps have also made the Post several gifts of twenty- five dollars for other purposes. In 1888 the Post held a Fair in the old Firemen's Hall, East Third Street. The Corps and its friends had charge of the various booths, and as a result the sum of $623.08 was turned over to the Post. In 1892 a wigwam for presidentlal campaign purposes was erected on Main street, above Third street. After election the Post held a seven day Fair in the Wigwam; again the Corps had charge of the booths and turned over to the Post the sum of $267.84. The Corps also gave $100 to the old Mem- orial Hall fund, which was afterwards returned, the project having failed. The Corps immediately return- ed this amount to Post Brown to help defray the ex- penses of fitting up their new hall over 9 East Third street. Both Post and Corps took possession of this hall in 1892. Since then the Post has purchased two new carpets, the Corps each time sending them $25 towards the carpet. Years ago, when various organi- zations furnished rooms in the W. C. A. Hospital. the Post decided to furnish such a room. The Corps help- ed by making sheets, pillow slips, etc. The value placed upon these furnishings by the Woman's Chris- tian Association was $160 for both organizations.

At the great reunion of the 9th N. Y. Cavalry and at the reunion of the 100th N. Y. Regiment, the Corps served the dinner. At the reunion of the 49th N. Y. Regiment in 1901, the Corps served dinner to 350

persons. At the fiftleth anniversary of the 112th N. Y. Regiment and the 7th Company Sharpshooters, the Corps entertained them with a dinner. The citizens committee afterwards presented the Corps with $50 from the funds ralsed to entertain these veterans. For years It has been the custom of the Corps to send flowers to Civil War Veterans' funerals held in the city or nearby.

The Corps was the first organization in the city to send Thanksgiving dinners in baskets to those who might not have any extras for that day; sending to veterans and their familles. Commencing with three baskets in 1890, they have sent these baskets each year since, sometimes as many as twenty-five or thirty, each basket containing a chicken and all other things to make a good dinner, furnished by members of the Corps.
