Silver Creek DAR to meet

The Silver Creek Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution will hold a meeting and pot-luck lunch on Saturday, Dec. 12 at 10 a.m. in the auditorium of the Latzer Library. Members are asked to bring a salad to share and an antique or collectible to discuss.

Did you know that there are about 30 known Revolutionary War patriots who lived in Madison County? Are you descended from one of them? To qualify as a patriot, a man or woman did not have to provide military service. He or she may have provided supplies to the military, administered to the wounded or provided some other type of support role. There are many women patriots.
