Bosque River Chapter
The Bosque River Chapter of Daughters of the Republic of Texas will meet on Tuesday, November 9 at 2:00 PM in the First Presbyterian Church of Stephenville. The program will be about the Texas Rangers. In addition, the chapter will celebrate the November 3rd birthday of Stephen F. Austin, considered the Father of Texas. Another Honor Day which will be recognized is November 6 which marks the founding of the oldest women’s patriotic organization in Texas, The Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT). On November 6, 1891, a group of sixteen women formalized a vision to perpetuate the memory and spirit of the men and women who achieved and maintained the independence of Texas.
Plans will be made to mark the grave of a man or woman who honorably served the Republic of Texas. A decision will be made about which book to donate to a school library.
