BRYAN L. S. Ross Chapter, Bryan-L. S. Ross Chapter tendres kind greetings to each Chapter here assembled, and herewith submits its annual report of work accomplished during the year. The work of the season 1900-1901 has been steadily progressing, and while PAGE 90 -------------------------------------- some gifted members have been transferred to other Chapters, new ones have been added, thus making the membership forty-five in number. We have endeavored to hold regular weekly meetings, at which the study of history has been pursued to some extent. Two intersting entertainments have been given for the purpose of replensihing our treasurey and meting current expenses. Our Chapter has met all appeals of charity that have been brought to us. We have observed with appropriate ceremonies the three anniversaries which are sacred to every loyal Daughter of the Confederacy, viz: Memorial Day, the birthdays of Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis, We have filled all obligations to both National organizatin and State Division. By request of C. B. Gordon Chapter, Huntsville, Texas, we have placed tombstones in our cemetery over the graves of James Harrison, a Confederate veteran, formerly of Huntsville, whod died in Bryan. We adopted appropriate resolutions on the death of our beloved State president, Mrs. B. B. Tobin, a copy of which was sent to the Confederate Veteran for pulication. We have erected fifty markers over the graves of Confederate veterans who sleep in our cemetery. We have sent $2 to the State secretary, to be used toward the expense of publication of the Auual. We sent a beautiful floral offering to the grave of Mrs. Allen D. Sanford, nee Miss Stell Shephard whos untimely death cast a gloom of sadness over our membership, and whose memory is still sacred to each of us, realizaing, as we do, that as the originator of our Chapter, she was always our inspiration and guide. Our Chapter has been fortunate in having Mrs. J. J. Adams as the president, who is in every way well fitted to fill the position. We have endeavored to carry out the benevolent, historical and social features of the work, and we hope to improve in methods and enthusiasm year by year, and thus extend the sphere of our usefulness. MRS. WM. A. BANKS, Corresponding Secretary. ...
