The following is taken from the Minutes of the Thirteenth Annual Convention of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy held in Gulfport, Mississippi, 14-27 November 1906. Mrs. Lizzie George Henderson, President-General
and Mrs. John P. Hickman, Secretary-General.
I greet you as the first representative of far away New Mexico, a delegate from the General
Joe Wheeler Chapter 966, organized at Roswell in February, 1906, through the efforts of our President, Miss Greenlee.
In March, our chapter secured a charter and held its first regular meeting in April. We have
fifty-three charter members with the prospect of larger growth. As yet, there has been no work done in the chapter except
to have a dinner and a supper to raise funds for expenses, but we are a very enthusiastic body and you may expect to hear
from us in the near future. We hope to soon organize a chapter at Carlsbad so we can have a Territorial Division.
There is already a chapter at Portales.
There is only one delegate from our chapter present instead of two as we had expected.
Respectfully submitted:
Mrs. B. F. Harlow
Recording Secretary, General Joe Wheeler Chapter 966
