On May 21, 1932, fourteen women met at the home of Mrs. Margaret Miller Davis.
Mrs. Davis was the organizing regent and was installed as the chapter's first regent with ceremony
conducted by State Regent, Mrs. Howard Bailey of St. Louis, Missouri. Assisting her was State
Vice Regent, Mrs. John Fall Houx of Marshall, Missouri. To honor Mrs. Davis, the chapter was named
Margaret Miller Chapter. Mrs. and Mrs. Davis were publishers and editors of the local Huntsville
newspaper.
Margaret Miller Chapter meetings are held September through May on the second
Tuesday of the month at 1:00 p.m. Each regular meeting includes devotions, patriotic exercises, the
President General’s message, a National Defense report, Constitution Week report, History Moment,
the Indian Moment, and a program of patriotic, educational, or historical interest. Our chapter has two
scholarships it awards to students of Westran High School in Huntsville.
