TWO MEMORIAL TABLETS
The Quaker City Chapter, Daughters of American Revolution, on Monday afternoon, October 15, at 3 o'clock, in the Chief Justice's room, Independence Hall, will erect a memorial tablet in memory of the soldiers of the War of the Revolution. There will be speeches and a general patriotic ceremony. On Saturday afternoon, October 27, the Chapter will erect a tablet on the grave of Mrs. Sara Doron Terry, who was 108 years old, died last January, and was one of the oldest members of the chapter.
