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. We are currently considering have two of our meetings
on Saturdays to allow our working members to attend. Please contact us
for meeting dates, times, and locations. 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 is involved with the youth of our
communities. We award scholarships to students of Westran High School in Huntsville
and give scholarships and the Good Citizen Award to the four high schools in Randolph County.
