During the May meeting, Tent #58 President Debbie Schiesser initiated new members Betty Graham and Della Selner to the Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War's Mary Morris Husband Tent #58. Both Graham and Selner were presented with badges, stars and American Flags during the ceremony.
The Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War, 1861 – 1865 was incorporated December 12, 1885 and federally chartered December 9, 1985. Local groups are called Tents and are either named for Army Nurses who served in the Civil War or any loyal woman of the Civil War era whose patriotic deeds during the years 1861 – 1865 were recorded. The mission is 'To spread widely the teachings of patriotism, that those who dwell in this broad land of ours will so live that, in peace or in war, there shall be no stain on "The Flag Our Fathers Saved." Our object is to: To perpetuate the memory, deeds and loyalty of those ancestors who sacrificed so much in the struggle to preserve the Union and establish freedom for everyone.' http://www.duvcw.org/
