Chapter History
History
of the Ann Haynes Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution:
Mrs. Thomas O. Towles, State Regent, organized the Ann Haynes Chapter
in Kirksville, Missouri, February 09, 1907, with sixteen charter
members. The charter was granted April 4, 1907. The chapter was named
for Ann Huggins Haynes of Rowan County, North Carolina. One of the
first activities of the new chapter was a visit to the graves of
Revolutionary soldiers Thomas Lay and James Fletcher, who are buried in
Adair County. Membership reached 119 members in 1983. In 1992, twelve
members transferred from our chapter to form a new DAR chapter in
Schuyler County, an adjoining county.
Chapter Meetings are held the second Friday of each month, at various
locations. Please contact us
for further information. All chapter programs follow the guidelines set
by the National Society, and include a variety of topics and presenters
relating to historical preservation, education and patriotism. Guests
are welcome.
For membership eligibility in the DAR, please visit the National Society Daughters of the
